HOME TIPS: HEAT

The miracle of heat!

One of the best things you can do for your fur babies at home is to use a heating pad. We all know how great a heating pad feels when we pull a muscle in our low back or neck. The same applies for your furry family members. Placing a heating pad on their low back is a surefire way to give them relief. When a dog starts limping or having trouble sitting or getting up it may be because their back hurts. As a matter fact, most dogs that we see have low back issues.  So your first go at home should be a heating pad and some gentle massage to the low back. Place the heating pad directly on their low back. You can turn it to The high setting. If it doesn’t burn you, it won’t burn them. Try to keep it on for 10 to 15 minutes and use it multiple times a day. Your babies will thank you.
