Pet Heated Pads

A General Guide for selecting you Pet Heat Pad

When selecting your pet heat pad the key factor to consider is the size as a general rule your pet heat pad will be governed by the size of your whelping box. The pet heated pad should not cover more than around 1 third to half of the size of your base of the whelping box, it's important to allow the puppies the option to get on or off the heat mat, the puppy heat mat is there to keep the puppies warm not the mother.

We generally would advise that you use the standard / small heat pad or the large size as the giant size heat pads are generally used more to keep large fully grown cats and dogs warm as appose to puppies as the heat from the pad has a larger area to escape making it hard for the puppies to trap the heat on the surface of the pet heat pad.
