We’re thrilled to announce that one of our most popular winter giveaways is BACK! Thanks to our wonderful friends at Pet-Mat™, we have four fantastic Pet-Mat™ Heated Pads to give away to our community this season: two in size Large and two in size Medium.
As the cooler winter weather settles across Australia, our pets are already on the hunt for the warmest spots in the house. Our cat Arya is a certified expert at claiming the absolute cosiest corners of the couch and bed!
During these chilly mornings and frosty evenings, it can feel like you can never have enough blankets to keep them truly comfortable. If you’re looking for a safe, smart, and energy-efficient way to keep your furry family members warm, Pet-Mat™ is the ultimate solution. Designed to provide on-demand warmth, these mats are perfect for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes.

Why Pet-Mat™ is a Winter Essential for Dogs and Cats
What makes the Pet-Mat™ standout is its unique touch-activated technology. The mat begins to gently warm up within five minutes of your pet lying down on it, and automatically cools down once they step off. This ensures your companions always have a warm, welcoming sanctuary to return to whenever they feel the chill.
Keeping your pets warm during winter isn't just about comfort—it’s vital for their health. Pet-Mat™ is highly recommended for:
Senior pets suffering from osteoarthritis, stiff joints, or chronic illness.
Puppies and kittens who struggle to regulate their own body temperature.
Whelping boxes to keep newborn pups safe and warm.
Pets recovering from surgery or recent injuries.
Safe, Energy-Efficient Heating for Australian Homes
With the rising cost of electricity in Australia, running household heaters all day long isn't always practical. Pet-Mat™ offers an incredibly cost-effective heating alternative. It features remarkably low energy consumption, allowing you to safely leave it plugged in day and night—using roughly the same amount of power as a desktop computer sitting in screensaver mode.
You can also enjoy total peace of mind regarding safety. Pet-Mat™ is specifically engineered to warm to a cosy 20–30°C in total—roughly 10–15°C above the ambient room temperature. It features a built-in maximum threshold to ensure it never overheats, delivering a perfectly regulated, gentle warmth that mimics cuddling next to another animal.
You can easily take comfort on the road by utilising their portable car adaptor, which plugs directly into your vehicle’s lighter socket. Best of all, it’s entirely waterproof, scratch-resistant, easy to clean, and built to provide reliable warmth year after year.
