VEBO Premium Electric Graphene Heat Pad Mat for Dog [Small 70cm]

VEBO Premium Electric Heat Pad / Mat

Perfect for using inside whelping boxes for newborn puppies as well as for general use. This premium heat pad uses the latest Graphene heating technology to deliver superior heating and energy efficiency. Come in 2 sizes:

• 70 x 45cm (Suitable for SMALL or MEDIUM whelping boxes)
• 90 x 65cm (Suitable for MEDIUM or LARGE whelping boxes)

When using in a whelping box, we recommend you heat no more half of the whelping area. Therefore puppies can move away when they feel too hot.

What is Graphene heating and why is it better?

Without getting too technical (you can easily Google this tech if you are interested), Graphene heating mimics the warmth from the sun by producing far-infrared radiation, whereas your old heat blankets do it by running electricity through a type of wiring that simply gets hot due to the resistance in the material.

The advantages of Graphene heating are:

• It warms using a similar method as natural sunlight, therefore it feels more gentle and it doesn't dry your skin as much. It's commonly used in high-end massage and pain relief products
• It works much quicker and reaches the desired temperature within minutes
• Graphene is a super-conductive material so it can heat a large area evenly (i.e. without making the middle area too hot and the edges too cold)
• It's extremely energy efficient. Our 70cm size is only rated at 58w and the 90cm is 105w. Not much more than a single halogen lightbulb, yet they are significantly warmer than your average electric blankets, so you generally stay on low power settings only

What should I place on top of a heat pad?

This heat pad is designed to be placed fully flat under a thin breathable mat (e.g. our carpet-back Profleece bedding but a simple fleece blanket from Kmart also works), so your dog cannot chew on the pad.

The bedding on top should be breathable (i.e. no waterproof backing) and no thicker than 40mm to allow heat dissipation. Foam mattresses or stuffed bedding with waterproof backing are not suitable to be used on top of heat pads, as they will trap heat, create hot spots and potentially damage the heat pad.

Because every bed has different breathability, it's best to experiement with different power settings at the beginning, i.e. set it to level 3 and leave it for an hour or two, put your hand in between the bed and heat pad to check if excessive heat is trapped in there. If it gets too hot to touch, that means your bed is either too thick or the backing is trapping too much heat, so you will need to lower the power or change to a more breathable bed .
