The velvet heating pad is designed, engineered, and patented to provide comfort and well-being to our furry friends, equipped with a heating panel that maintains a constant warmth, and intended to reduce the onset of joint diseases, such as arthritis or rheumatism; ailments to which our animals are particularly exposed by remaining in prolonged contact with cold and damp floors. It has been shown that heat helps to alleviate the pain of various conditions, providing relief. The bottom of the velvet heating pad is made with non-slip material to ensure grip on the floor. Washing: Disconnect the plug and clean with a damp cloth. Use sanitizing products. Wait until completely dry before reconnecting the plug. The heat will spread evenly after a few minutes.
