A thermotherapy device for use in a kennel, the thermotherapy device comprising:

• a ducted pet bed sized and arranged for being positioned inside the kennel, the ducted pet bed comprising a support sheet for supporting a pet and a plenum below the support sheet, the support sheet defining a vent in fluid communication with the plenum through which air moving in the plenum is passable toward the pet supported on the support sheet;
• and
• an interior air fitting supported on the ducted pet bed in fluid communication with the plenum;
• wherein the ducted pet bed and the interior air fitting are arranged so that, when the ducted pet bed is positioned inside the kennel the interior air fitting is located adjacent a doorway of the kennel to oppose an interior side of a door of the kennel when the door is in a closed position and to be separated from the door when the door moves away from the doorway to an open position,
• wherein the interior air fitting is configured to make a fluid connection to the door when the door is in the closed position so that the interior air fitting passes temperature controlled air from a temperature control device flowing through one or more openings in the door into the plenum, whereby the temperature controlled air is caused to move into the plenum and pass through the vent toward the pet supported on the support sheet.
