Jinx and Archie are heated throw addicts. They also love to lay on a pillow in front of the electric fake fireplace. And of course under the covers with me or inside my robe, with me in it.

Brutus and Sparky have blankets and heated pads but they much prefer the infrared lamp.

In the summer, Jack spends his time in the sunshine on the porch. Otherwise, he curls up in any blanket he can find, and as I've just recently discovered, he must spend a significant amount of time lying on the top of the dryer (mine is on a lot!!)! It's absolutely filthy on top from his grime!

I have my heating on 18 hours a day @ 23/73 deg during the day ,it goes off for a few hours a night so the temperature only drops a few degrees. If I leave it on all night they mess about and play. If it's cooler they stay at the bottom of our bed under the quilt with us. Nice foot hot water Bottles!!

We still have the A/C on in our house but it is always set at 78°. At night time here in the desert it drops down anywhere from 50° to 30°. Durring the day it is still in the 80s or higher.

So my boys either stay in our bedroom in bed, or in the blankets we keep on the couches for them. They have a extra large dog crate with beds and blankets and a heating pad inside, but that is "cat jail" and they only go in there at night time to protect us from cat wars that go on in our bed at night time. Yuri doesn't like Nigel next to me in bed and with my insomnia what sleep I get is already shakey.

So they have blankets glaore. They also wear clothes when it gets below 70° in the house. Nigel has several hooded dog shirts he loves because they keep his ears warm.

Cleo has a heated pad in the condo in her cat tree. She sleeps there during the day and with me at night. Sometimes she sleeps with my son.

She also sits in front of the vents throughout the day.

Mine wear sweaters all the time and love their Dyson heater and all the blankets. My house looks like the bedding department at Macy's exploded.

Max is spoiled with a couple cave beds + heating pads. Lots of fuzzy blankets.

And we have a nice gas fireplace that we open up when we're in the room (to monitor his Naked Lordship's activities). We've since added a nice plush blanket in front of the fireplace and it's fun to watch him loll around when the doors are open and he's absorbing the heat.

Here he is with the doors closed...

Juno has many tricks to stay warm. She's often tucked under the covers with us or in her sack bed. She also sits on the heat vents upstairs or on the heated blanket I have for my senior arthritic dog. I'll occasionally put a sweater on her, but she doesn't like it. But her #1 favorite way to stay warm is to cuddle her best dog friend Mazey.

Or even better, cuddling with Mazey AND being under covers.

All of the answers. She has a Bed with a Heating pad, several knitted sweaters, and a ton of blankets as well. We keep the house pretty warm during the winter and in the summer it gets to be 90+ degrees outside so there is no problem with heat for us.

For those that use the heated throws, do you leave them on all the time?
My brother in law has a fit when my sister leaves hers on for her little naked baby.

I'd like to get one for my girls to use while I'm at work but I wasnt sure about leaving it on ..?
