AURALIS WarmNest™

Q: How does it work without electricity?

A: WarmNest™ uses a reflective thermal layer (similar to space blankets) that bounces your pet's own body heat back to them. The mat warms up when your pet lies on it—no power needed. Think of it like a thermos that keeps heat in, but for your pet's body warmth.

Q: Will it actually keep my pet warm?

A: Yes! Thousands of pet parents report their cats and dogs actively seek out the mat on cold nights. It provides gentle, natural warmth—perfect for indoor use, garages, or covered outdoor shelters. It won't feel hot to the touch (because it's not electric), but you'll notice your pet stays on it longer and seems more relaxed. *Note: For extreme sub-zero outdoor conditions, we recommend pairing it with an insulated shelter.

Q: Is there any crinkling noise?

A: Our upgraded WarmNest™ design uses noise-dampening materials, so any sound is minimal. You might hear a very faint rustle when you first set it up, but most pets either don't notice or quickly adjust. If your pet is sound-sensitive, simply place a familiar blanket over it for the first day—they'll associate it with comfort and forget about any noise.

Q: Will my pet actually use it?

A: In our customer surveys, 92% of pets started using their WarmNest™ within the first 3 days. Some tips to encourage use: Place it in their favorite spot, add a sprinkle of catnip (for cats), or put a treat on it. Once they feel the warmth, they usually choose it over regular beds. And if your pet doesn't love it? Our 90-day guarantee has you covered.

Q: Can I wash it?

A: Absolutely. The plush cover is machine washable (cold water, gentle cycle). Just remove the thermal insert first—it can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth if needed. The cover air-dries quickly, and customers tell us it stays fresh and odor-free even with daily use.

Q: What if my dog chews it?

A: WarmNest™ has no electrical components, so there's no shock risk even if damaged. The material is durable for normal use (nesting, scratching), but we don't recommend it for aggressive chewers who destroy all bedding. For teething puppies, supervise initial use. Most dogs and cats treat it like any other bed—they sleep on it, not shred it.

Q: What size should I get?

A: Choose based on your pet's size and how they sleep:- **Small:** Cats, toy breeds, pets who curl up- **Medium:** Small to medium dogs (up to 40 lbs), multiple cats- **Large:** Large dogs (40-70 lbs), pets who stretch out- **X-Large:** Giant breeds (70+ lbs) or multi-pet householdsWhen in doubt, size up—pets love having extra room to sprawl on the warm surface.

Q: Can I use it outdoors?

A: Yes, in covered or protected areas like a dog house, garage, barn, or enclosed cat shelter. Keep it dry—if the mat gets soaked, it won't work well (just like any bedding). For open outdoor use, make sure it's in a waterproof enclosure.

Q: Does it work for senior pets with arthritis?

A: Many senior pet owners tell us their animals seem more comfortable and less stiff after resting on WarmNest™. Gentle warmth can soothe achy joints (similar to how a warm compress feels good to us). While we can't make medical claims, the anecdotal feedback from customers with senior pets has been overwhelmingly positive.
