Heated Dog Bed
If you’ve got an older dog who gets chilled easily, or the weather is just turning cold and Fido doesn’t like it, then perhaps you need to check into heated dog beds.
For example, the TheraBed heated pet bed provides “natural pain relief for aging and arthritic animals and soothing comfort for younger dogs.” It features comfortable looking orthopedic foam, a machine-washable micro-suede cover, and built-in bolsters to surround your dog and keep him warm.
The Flat Screen Heater keeps the bed evenly warmed at 102 degrees and plugs into any electrical outlet. There’s a pet-safe low-voltage system with electronic safety and temperature controls to prevent overheating (sounds better than the old electric blanket my mom used to have… that thing would scorch your toes if you hit it in the wrong spot).
The TheraBed is available in several sizes with prices starting at $80 for small dogs:

We have something similar for the cat (a heated “cat cup”) and she almost never leaves it.
