A heated bed for dogs, cats or other animals which can provide a selected amount of heat to the animal depending upon environmental temperatures. The bed includes a hollow blanket casing within which is disposed at least three layers of foam insulation material placed one on top of another. A removable heating element is interposed between two adjacent layers of the foam material and supplies heat to the animal resting on the bed. The amount of heat delivered to the animal is regulated by selectively positioning the heating element between different adjacent layers of the foam material. The heating element is connected to a power source via a step down transformer which converts high voltage energy into lower voltage energy to minimize the danger of serious shock to the animal.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A heated animal bed for providing a selected amount of heat to an animal comprising:a top blanket layer;a bottom blanket layer;means for joining the top blanket layer to the bottom blanket layer at the periphery thereof to form a hollow casing;at least three layers of insulating foam material positioned one on top of another within the hollow casing such that there is at least a bottom foam layer adjacent to a middle foam layer, and at least a middle foam layer adjacent to a top foam layer;a removable electric heating element for imparting heat to the top blanket layer when supplied with current from a power source, the heating element being sized and configured for insertion between the foam layers, such that the heating element may be selectively interposed between two adjacent layers of the insulating foam material to provide a selected amount of heat to the top blanket layer.
