If your vehicle has heated seats or if you’re installing a heated replacement seat cover, you might wonder whether it’s safe for your furry passengers.
General Safety Tips
- Low settings only: Always use the lowest heat setting when pets are onboard.
- Never leave pets alone: Overheating is a risk if they can’t move away from the heat source.
Material Considerations
- Use breathable covers like cloth or perforated leather over heated elements.
- Avoid plastic barriers between the heating element and your pet.
Final Thoughts
While heated seats can be comfortable for pets in winter, moderation and supervision are key. If in doubt, turn them off during pet rides.
