Rank #8 in Best Heated Pet Bed 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Weight Claims That Don't Add Up
Angelpet Electric Heated Pet Mat, M 45 x 45 cm
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Angelpet DRT-4545 is a 45 x 45 cm electric pet heating pad listed at £28.99, rated 4.7 out of 5 from 245 ratings, and it sits at number 8 in this guide. The listing gives nine heat levels between 35°C and 55°C in 2.5°C steps — that one does add up — plus a 1.8 m chew-resistant cord, an IP67 waterproof rating and two washable flannel covers, one blue and one grey.
What does not add up is the timer. The product title, the special-features field and the body text of the second bullet all say 14 timer settings. The heading of that same bullet says 13. It is the only number on this page that contradicts itself, and the listing never says which count is right. This pad also makes no maximum-weight claim of any kind: Breed Recommendation reads 'Large Breeds, Medium Breeds, Small Breeds' and Dog Breed Size reads 'All', with no weight figure anywhere in the specification. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing as written, not from any testing we carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“These are used throughout the winter and our cat loves them. The timer settings are fantastic. Machine washable covers / spares provided and it makes them easy to clean / swap.I was reluctant to buy these at first due to the worry of leaving on an electrical item but they have been great!”
Verified purchase“I have used this mat now for 4 months and it is loved by my cats, they sleep on it everyday, all the time. A lovely warm comfy mattress that 3 cats all sleep together on. Washed the cover many times with no problems. Controller is easy to use.One small issue is the cover moves about and does not stay straight leading it to bunch up as it's slightly bigger that the pad which is annoying but apart from that my cats favourite place to be. I did not get an extra cover which would have been very handy.”

Questions people ask
How many heat settings does the Angelpet DRT-4545 have?
The listing gives 9 adjustable levels running from 35°C to 55°C in 2.5°C steps. Nine is what 35 to 55 in 2.5-degree steps works out to, so that part of the listing is internally consistent.
How many timer settings does it have?
The title and the bullet text say 14 timer options, covering 1 to 12 hours, 24 hours and a continuous '00' setting. The heading of that same bullet says 13. The listing does not explain which figure is correct.
What size is the M version?
The M pad is 45 x 45 cm and 3 cm thick, and the listing gives its weight as 930 g. The same listing also offers L (45 x 70 cm) and XL (60 x 90 cm).
Does the listing state a maximum weight for the pet?
No. Breed Recommendation reads 'Large Breeds, Medium Breeds, Small Breeds' and Dog Breed Size reads 'All', but no weight figure appears anywhere in the specification.
Are the covers washable?
Yes. The Angelpet DRT-4545 ships with two flannel covers, one blue and one grey, both described as removable and machine washable. The pad itself carries an IP67 waterproof rating.
What warranty comes with it?
Product Warranty reads 1-Year Warranty, and the final bullet repeats the one-year cover.
