Description With an innovative, modern design, the K&H Mod Dream Pod™ is unlike any other cat bed out there! Its generous proportions fit cats of all sizes. Getting in and out of the cozy cat bed is simple thanks to a large opening. A comfortable, washable polyfil pillow adds softness to the interior. This modern cat bed zips together for simple assembly, comes in multiple colors, and has a rugged heavy denier nylon exterior. It also includes a 1-year warranty. The Thermo-Mod Dream Pod adds a small K&H Pet Bed Warmer to provide a warm and comfortable resting place that any cat will enjoy. Care & Instructions Washing Instructions Pillow Unplug and remove the internal Pet Bed Warmer (heated model only). Wash the pillow on the gentle cycle with cold water. Line dry or use the no-heat cycle on your dryer. Shell The shell is hand washable. Please DO NOT try to wash it in a washing machine. To hand wash, use a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and air dry. Please make sure to rinse extremely well as detergent can get trapped in the nylon fabric. Zippering Together We put a great deal of thought into the design of our Mod products. You'll notice the zipper is installed backwards, which gives it a sleek look and prevents it from bulging or distracting from the overall design. While the zipper fit is tight, the Mod line is sure to impress everyone who sees it. Here are a couple tips: The zipper should start in the back. Place the entry hole opening on the opposite side of where the zipper starts. This should allow you to align the zipper properly. To make things easier, please try zipping it by NOT using the zipper tab but rather holding the zipper directly and pulling it around the pod. This should improve your experience. Testing Your Thermo-Mod Dream Pod You can test the bed by placing a large pillow on top of it. After about 20 minutes, feel under the pillow. It will feel warm, not hot. DO NOT use an extension cord during this test. The surface of the bed will be about 15°F above ambient air temperature until the pet lies on the bed. Then it will warm to about 102°F, which is the natural body temperature of dogs and cats. Product Q&A Product-Specific Questions If we purchase the unheated Mod Dream Pod can we add the heating pad to it at a later time? You would not be able to add a Pet Bed Warmer later. The unheated version does not have a zippered pillow that allows you to insert a heating pad and it does not have an exit hole for the cord. What is the rigid material under the covering made of? It is made of EVA foam , which is sometimes generally called closed cell foam. Do you have a diagram on how to zip it? While we do not have a diagram, here is a tip. The zipper should start in the back. Place the hole opening on the opposite side of where the zipper starts. This should allow you to align the zipper properly. General Questions about Indoor Heated Beds How long is the cord? The cord is 5.5 feet long. What temperature will this bed reach? The surface of the bed will be about 15°F above ambient air temperature until the pet lies on the bed. Then it will warm to about 102°F, which is the natural body temperature of dogs and cats. Are your heated beds and pads pressure sensitive? Our beds and pads are NOT pressure sensitive. All K&H heated beds and pads feature dual thermostats and are designed to warm to your pet's normal body temperature when he/she lies on the pad. This is a function of the insulation provided by a pet’s body, not the weight of the pet. K&H beds and pads will emit heat anytime they are plugged in so your pet can sense that heat and be drawn to the bed or pad for warmth and comfort. When your pet is not on the pad, the heat will dissipate into the air and the surface temperature will vary according to the ambient air temperature. Can I use an extension cord with this product? MET requires that all manufacturers put the extension cord statement “Do not use with extension cord” on every item that is MET listed by UL 499 standards. This is because they cannot test every extension cord on the market in conjunction with our products for safety. Also, MET suggests that an extension cord is not recommended as a permanent fixture and should only be a temporary solution when using any electrical product. For more information on MET safety testing, please visit their website at www.metlabs.com . How long can a heated bed or pad be plugged in? MET Safety Laboratories suggests unplugging the bed if you leave your home on an extended vacation, as they do with any electrical appliance. Otherwise, it is designed for 24/7 operation and you can leave it plugged in all day. This item has been certified by MET labs to adhere to strict electrical safety standards. For more information, please visit www.metlabs.com . Is there an off/on switch? There is not an off/on switch. The pad is always on when plugged in. For a garage, would you advise an indoor or outdoor heated product? For a garage, we recommend an outdoor heated product. They have the features necessary to ensure your pet stays warm in even the coldest of temperatures. 1-year Warranty
