The Best Heated Water Bowls for Dogs

When choosing products for your pet, the first thing that comes to mind is how safe it is. The K&H Pet Products Thermal-Bowl is one of the safest options that emphasize safety while providing a well-designed bowl your pet can drink water from all day long. The bowl itself is thermostatically controlled which means that it will automatically adjust when the temperature changes. This happens via an internal heater that goes off and on when necessary to prevent the water from freezing.

One of the highlights of this bowl is the fact that it still keeps water warm in temperatures as low as -20 degrees Fahrenheit. It is a 5.5 inch steel-coated bowl that is abrasion-resistant. So, even if you have a dog that loves to scratch and gnaw at all sorts, the bowl will stay flawlessly smooth. All the cords and electronics are also safely tucked away inside the bowl which goes a long way to ensure your pet is extremely safe when the product is in use.

Depending on how extreme the weather conditions are, this bowl may have to be plugged in all day. This is to ensure pets stay suitably hydrated even in cold seasons. The K&H manufacturers have ensured the bowl consumes as low energy as possible. This bowl runs on 25 watts only sparing you from high electricity bills. It is also BPA-free which makes it even safer for all pets to drink from. Another plus is its easy cleaning surfaces; users can choose to wipe clean or gently wash with a mild detergent.

The Farm Innovators Company has been in business since 1983. Through the years they have innovatively designed a lot of phenomenal products such as the Farm Innovators Quart Heated Bowl, which is one of their many successfully functional pet products. What makes it really stand out is it’s thermostatically controlled function. It is unlikely that users would want to warm their dog’s bowl during summer or autumn periods.  Unlike some other heated pet bowls that run all through when switched on, this one doesn’t. It smartly adjusts to temperature changes which regulate its functionality. Whenever the temperature is up, the heated water bowl goes off. This is a great advantage as it only stays on when required. It undoubtedly saves users the hassle of manually turning it off. It is also great for users who are conscious of power saving options.

Another great feature is its small portable size. This is great for pet owners with fun-sized dogs or puppies. It has a 1-quart capacity which allows an appropriate amount of water for pets’ satisfaction per time and it has been constructed with a smooth and durable plastic material that is designed to last. The durable plastic makes also facilitates an easy washing procedure, and the bowl is reinforced with strong twin walls with an anti-tip construction at the base. A 25w heater is also built-in the bowl to safely and adequately thermostatically warm water and prevents icing, and the 5-foot power cord is reinforced with an ‘anti-chew’ protector. This makes it safe for your pet and also for this dynamically designed electric dog water bowl.

It is no mystery that consuming cold water may have some health risks to both humans and animals alike that’s why we have mug warmers and tea/coffee options during cold seasons. For pets, they rely on us to provide warm and consumable water to keep them hydrated throughout winter periods. The Petfactors Heated 69 Inch Pet Bowl is a 2.2 pet heated bowl that ensures an all-year round easy access to water, especially during warm seasons. However, when the winter sets in, it gets harder for them to come back to readily warm water. In intense conditions, the water freezes over leaving outdoor pets thirsty and probably dehydrated.

This heated dog bowl features a waterproof on/off switch that allows users’ to manually power it. The power switch also has a light indicator that shows users when the heating system is on. In addition to this, there is also an automatic power off option which stops heating to protect the bowl.

There is no doubt that your pet will get thirsty no matter how cold it is. Pet owners cannot always be at home to monitor water levels and turn off the bowl, so with the automatic standby function, the bowl can power down for a while when the water is completely drained. It also readily controls temperatures from 97-109 degrees Fahrenheit via an internal thermostat.

The Allied Stainless Steel 5-Quart Heated Pet Bowl is definitely one heated water bowl many users would want to have. The design was well thought out and phenomenally executed. This stainless steel bowl stands out from others because of its’ versatility.  During the winter season, this electric dog water bowl thermostatically warms water and uses 50w and adequately uses 120 volts for safe and suitable drinking. However, after a long winter season, it’s easy to lose the need for a warming element and when temperatures rise, water wouldn’t need heating or warming. This bowl remains relevant because it provides users with the option of removing the heating element. Your pet can now enjoy the benefits of a bowl she’s already used to. So regardless of the season, this bowl can suitably be used all year long.

Another benefit of the removable unit is that it makes it safe enough to be placed in a dishwasher. Its design helps with easy storage; the power cord can be coiled neatly at the base and conveniently put away. The volume of this bowl is also quite generous. With a 1.25 gallon capacity, it can warm enough water for your pets’ satisfaction and the steel make also ensures pets won’t damage the material by biting or scratching on it.

This next dog heated bowl runs a size bigger than regular water bowls. It’s another spectacular make from the Farm Investors brand with a 6-quart capacity. Dehydration isn’t a new occurrence when it comes to pets. It’s not just spoken about as much as it should be. Pets need a good amount of water to go through their day well nourished. During winter seasons it gets even more challenging to access water especially in extremely cold climates. If you notice the water starting to freeze over, make use of the farm Innovators Model p-60.

If you have a puppy or a small sized dog, this next portable electric dog water bowl would make a great pick. The Allied Plastic 1-Quart Heated Pet Bowl would also work great for users with just one pet. This water bowl is equally thermostatically controlled; it will only come on when temperatures fall below 40 degrees. It does not power off on its own, so users will have to leave it switched on to ensure the water stays warm. On the plus side, it does not consume a lot of power but rather conserves electricity using 30 wattage power to warm water to acceptable temperatures pets are willing to drink.

The size is also compact enough for users who travel during the winter season. It packs and stores easily since the cord can be coiled around neatly at the base.

The heater also remains off until temperatures drop below 0 degrees. 

Like most high quality and well-designed heated bowls, the heating element is securely in-built and the heavy duty power cord is chew resistant as the cord is properly reinforced.
