Reusable gel packs that can be chilled in the freezer for cold therapy or warmed for heat, each with a canvas cover so the pack never sits directly on skin. Cold is generally used in the first day or two after a strain, bruise or surgery to limit swelling; warmth is used later for stiff muscles. Ask your vet which is right for your pet before starting.
Two sizes, each a pack of 5. See also Health Care and the Medi Pak range.
Key points
- Hot or cold — Freezer or warm water/microwave per the pack directions.
- Canvas cover — Protects skin.
- Pack of 5 — Small or large.
Safety
Always use the cover. Limit sessions to 10–15 minutes and check the skin. Never leave an animal unattended with a hot pack, and do not use heat on a fresh injury. Heat the pack only as directed on its label.
