Microwave heating pads for dogs with arthritis or after surgery

Sometimes pets need comfort when they are ailing. Dogs and cats can suffer from arthritis, colds, sprains, strains, and fractures. After surgery they need time to recover, and a heating pad might help them feel better. Like human beings, psychologically it may help boost morale.

Heat helps improve circulation and promote flexibility. It also relaxes stiff muscles. A microwave heating pad from Maine Warmers is washable, reusable, and portable. A Back Warmer is easy to heat in the microwave -- no mess of filling hot water bottles. There aren't any added fragrances, but please note that some dogs think corn-filled heating pads are meant to eat because they smell a bit like a bowl of popcorn.

Maine Warmers' Extra Large Back Warmer might work best for large dogs or cats.

All of Maine Warmers microwave heating pads have linings with Velcro which allows one to remove the filling, wash the lining cover, the outside flannel cover,

and replace the filling with either whole corn or rice if ever necessary. The lining is baffled for even distribution of filling, and is comfortable. Plus there is no worry of overheating or chewed wires as with an electric heating pad.
