Stanfield Pet Heat Mat – 2 x 5 ft.
Description
Stanfield Pet Heat Pads provide safe and reliable heat for a variety of animals like dogs, tortoises, various reptiles, and other exotic animals. They are the safest and most economical way to promote good health and growth. Heat is evenly distributed with a low-temperature, double-insulated heating element that provides a uniform resting area approximately 30-35° F (16-20° C) above air temperature at full power. Extend energy savings and protect your investment with our full line of power controls and accessories. Controls are recommended when using heat mats for pets, especially for whelping puppies, reptiles, and other exotic reptiles, so that a safe and comfortable temperature can be maintained.
Manufactured in the USA with a rigid, flame-resistant, engineered fiberglass reinforced composite material, Stanfield heat mats are fully water-tight, easy to clean, and can safely be used indoors or outdoors with proper protection.
Important Note: This model’s heating element is “split” at the middle making it suitable for use between two enclosures or pens. The area down the middle of the mat is not heated and raised divider cleats help keep the mat in place under penning or a divider.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What surface temperature should I expect from a Stanfield Heat Mat?
In a home that is maintained between 70 to 75˚F (22 – 24˚C), the surface of the heat pad will be 95 to 105˚F (35 – 40˚C) at full power or without any temperature control. Allow about one hour after power is applied to measure the surface temperatures accurately. Stanfield heat mats are self regulating based on ambient air temperature. Other factors like species and number of animals resting on the mat, type of flooring material, and the presence of drafts will also influence the exact surface temperature of the heat pad. - Do I need to use a power control with my Stanfield Heat Mat?
Power controls are always recommended when using an electric heating mat with exotic animals and pets, especially newborns. Newborn animals like puppies often do not have the strength or ability to move off the heating pad if they become too warm or uncomfortable, and heating mats at full power in a home environment could raise to unsafe levels for the animals. Setting and maintaining a safe and comfortable temperature for your heat pad is easy, and both manual rheostat-style and automatic temperature controls are available from Osborne to set and maintain your heat pad at the right temperature for your animal(s) requirements. - How do I know if the temperature of my Stanfield Heating Mat is right for my animals?
When it comes to proper heating mat temperatures, animal behavior is the best thermostat. If animal(s) leave the heat pad and lay elsewhere, check the heat pad. If it is too cool, increase the room temperature or increase the setting on your heat mat control(s). If the animal(s) lay around the edge of the heat pad rather than directly on it or if they defecate on the heat pad, it is likely too warm. If the mat is too warm, reduce the room temperature, reduce the setting on your heat mat control(s), or simply unplug the mat and use it as a draft barrier. Be aware, however, that newborn animals sometimes do not have the strength or ability to move off a mat if they’re too warm. If the mat is too warm for you – it’s likely too warm for your pet. - Can bedding or other material be used with a Stanfield Heat Mat?
Coverings of any sort are not recommended for use with electric heaters like heating mats, nor are they needed. Covering the heat pad with bedding materials or residues will usually result in inefficient and improper operation of the heat pad. Stanfield heat pads are durably designed for direct contact with the juvenile animals and eliminate the need for bedding and the cost and work associated with maintenance of bedding. - Do Stanfield Heat Mats have an internal thermostat?
No. The Stanfield Heat Pad is designed to provide a constant amount of heat. An internal thermostat is not a reliable way to control heat pad temperature. First, an internal thermostat samples the temperature in only a very small region of the heat pad. Second, such a thermostat is inherently less durable than the heat pad itself. Instead, Stanfield Heat Mats are designed to operate at a steady temperature rise above ambient. The use of Osborne Heat Pad Controls is recommended for reliable and economical control of heat pad temperature. - Should I anchor my Stanfield Heat Mats in place?
Fastening heat pads to the floor, draft barrier, or wall and thoroughly protecting the power cord improves safety and ensures your mats can safely operate for many years. Simply anchor the heat pad through the predrilled holes or add holes at the predimpled locators. Also remember to always protect the power cord!
