2025 Pet Hacks Contest: Keep Your Hound Toasty Warm With This Heated Dog Bed
1 min read
Summary
Hackaday writer Roan spends a lot of time considering how chilly it always is for his many dogs, no matter the heat source.
This led him to highlight a project on Hackaday.io created by John R Sheahan, titled Heated Dog Bed.
Rather than being an electronically sophisticated souped-up warming device, the bed is simply a dog bed held aloft within a frame made from PVC piping to keep the draught away from the dog’s underside, and a standard 12V travelling lap blanket clipped to the top to provide the heating.
Roan concedes that it is a simple but effective build, and one that is particularly well suited to older dogs.
It’s also worth noting that the project was entered into Hackaday’s Pet Hacks contest, so it could be the first of many such doggy developments.
