Vinyl Pet Heat Pad (12v)

The Vinyl Pet Heat Pad (12v) for newborn puppies as they are very vulnerable to chills in their first few days. This is because they cannot control their own body temperature and reply on the bitch for heat.

They normally really on a secondary heat source such as a heat mat. We have always preferred to use heat mats rather than heat lamps. As these provide the heat underneath the pups, where its needed. Rather than risking overheating the bitch. (Not to mention that fact that heat lamps are very expensive to run. They can consuming up to 10x the electricity consumed by a heat pad)

Use the heat pad on the surface of the pet fleece, rather than under it. Heat up 1/2 of the floor of the box and no more. This is to avoid the bitch not being able to get away from the warmth when she otherwise needs to cool down.

These are plastic / vinyl pads & are not going to be suitable for animals that chew. Please click this link for our metal heat pads Spare covers available
