A pet bed includes a platform configured to accommodate an animal and a base connected to the platform. The base has an entrance opening to channel thermal energy from an external climate control source； such as a wall, floor, or baseboard vent or an air conditioning unit； to the platform. The pet bed includes a plurality of feet adjacent to the base to elevate the bed above a surface on which the bed is located to form at least one exit opening through which thermal energy can propagate to a room in which the pet bed is located. The pet bed can be rectangular, circular, or another shape and can have a pad that is located adjacent to the platform on which an animal may sit or lie.
