Production timeline
OEM Process and Production Lead Times
Every pet heating order runs through the same six steps. The lead times shown are typical ranges; the exact timeline for your product and quantity is confirmed at the quotation stage. Self-heating and insulated products, which are textile work, are usually faster, while electric pads and beds take longer because they integrate a heating element and are tested. Because pet warming is seasonal, we plan timelines back from when you need stock on the shelf for winter.
1
Brief and spec sign-off
You send your product brief (product type, warming method, animals and breeds, size range, materials, logo, and packaging). We return a written specification, and both sides sign off before sampling begins.
Before sampling
2
Sampling
We produce a physical sample to the confirmed spec, in your sizes, materials, and colorways.
Self-heating: ~7–15 days
Electric: ~10–20 days
3
Sample review and sign-off
You evaluate the sample for warmth, fit across the breeds you serve, durability, and, on electric products, a functional check of the heating. We revise if needed; the approved sample and spec become the binding production reference, with tolerances documented.
Buyer sign-off
4
Bulk production
Production runs against the signed sample, with in-line QC at cutting and sewing, reflective-layer and insulation lamination and filling, and, on electric products, element integration and assembly.
Self-heating: ~25–45 days
Electric: ~30–50 days
5
QC and testing
Before packing, products are checked for warmth, seam and durability against chewing and wear, and material safety; every powered product is also functionally tested for heat output and overheat-limit behavior, and the cord is checked. Third-party inspection can be arranged at your request.
Pre-shipment
6
Packing and shipment
Products are packed to your retail or wholesale spec and prepared for sea, air, or courier, scheduled to land before your selling season; for electric products, any battery documentation and packaging is prepared as covered under transport compliance.
