It's getting chilly here in Western New York, but it's not too late to put in an electric dog fence! Electric fences for dogs are a great solution to provide a safe containment area for your pet, while giving you the peace of mind that your dog will stay in your yard. I've posted a new article on KT Pet Supply discussing the pros and cons of using an in-ground fence.

Brand new product by K&H Manufacturing, the Microwavable Pet Bed Warmer! Like K&H's other pet bed warmers, the microwavable warmer can be used in nearly any existing pet bed with a removable cover, or a zipper or velcro opening.

This new warmer comes in one size, 9" x 9", so be sure that your current bed will accommodate this size. The warmer is soft and squishy when warm, and takes only minutes to heat up in the microwave. The Microwavable Pet Bed Warmer will stay warm for up to 12 hours when used in a cat or dog bed. The material is non-toxic and may be hand washed with soap and water.

You know you're a pet owner when...

1. When speaking with your spouse, you find yourself spelling out words like w-a-l-k and o-u-t-s-i-d-e
2. What alarm clock? Your pet starts nudging you in the face every morning at the crack of dawn.
3. Your favorite chair is no longer *your* favorite chair
4. You begin looking for creative places to "hide" the kitchen garbage can
5. You stop replacing couch pillows and explain to guests that it's the latest craze in dog chew toys
6. The word Advantage takes on an entirely new meaning for you
7. Your doorbell stopped working months ago, and you really see no need to replace it
8. When you change the vacuum cleaner bag, you have enough fur to knit 4 blankets
9. You no longer think it's odd that there are pieces of dog food in the living room or the middle of the kitchen floor
10. You actively have conversations with your pet... and you're sure they're talking back to you

With the cold weather approaching, it's time to think about comforters, flannel sheets and electric blankets. Why not offer your dog or cat a warm, cozy retreat of his own? If your pet already has an unheated dog or cat bed, there's an easy way to turn it into a heated pet bed. The K&H Pet Bed Warmer is a heated pad that can turn virtually any existing pet bed into a heated cat bed or heated dog bed.

If your current pet bed has a removable cover, or a zipper or velcro access to the interior, simply open it up, pop in a pet bed warmer and zip it back up. Voila - a warm and snug place for your fur baby to take naps! The warmer uses a plug and a standard household outlet.

The K&H Pet Bed Warmer is available in 3 sizes:

• Small - 4 watts - 8.5" x 9.5"
• Medium - 6 watts - 6" x 20"
• Large - 13 watts - 11" x 24"
