Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: Heated Dog Pad - How To Help Speed Up The Healing Process After An Injury

If you are searching for a stylish way to keep
your dog warm it is time you took a look at a
heated dog bed or heated pad. Even if you are
fussy about everything in your home having to
match they are available in a wide and varied
range of colors which makes matching them with
the rest of your home decor easy. So whether your
pooch prefers to sleep in the living room or in
the bedroom color coordinating will not be a
major problem.

There are also some practical reasons for using
one of these special beds as well as the obvious
reason that "you simply love your dog." As dogs
start to get older they can encounter joint
problems and these beds are perfect for easing
the pain. Perhaps your dog is quite a heavy breed
and they are putting a lot of stress on their
joints, in which case a heated dog bed would be a
great way to help relieve some of the stress on
those joints. Quite often dogs can become a lot
less active due to developing sore muscles. By
simply using a heated dog pad you will soon find
that the muscles can start to become more relaxed
and your dog will begin to move around much more
easily again.

There are many stores where you can buy these
beds online. The beds basically comprise several
thick layers of supporting foam and a dual
thermostat. This dual thermostat helps to keep a
constant even surface temperature and in most
models the heater can be removed so the pad can
be cleaned.

If your dog is recovering from surgery or an
injury of any kind there are veterinarians that
are now suggesting that you use a heated dog pad
to aid in speeding up of the healing process. The
heat from these pads can also help stimulate
circulation in some older dogs and are perfect if
your dog may have developed arthritis.

A lot of dogs, including my own beautiful Tibetan
Terrier, have this wonderful habit of chewing
anything and everything. Hey they are dogs, what
else can they do! So make sure if you want to get
one of these heated dog pads that it has a chew
resistant cord. If you feel slightly concerned
about using a pad with a cord there are some
models available that work by having an inner
core that insulates them and reflects your dogs
body heat back.

You ideally need to buy a bed that is low-voltage
and to keep it in place it needs to be
constructed of non slip material. Make sure it is
UL listed and if you are in Canada CUL listed.
There are also some great covered dog beds
available too. They have soft dome like hoods
over them that you dog will just love to snuggle
up and cozy down in. Or if you dog enjoys
sleeping in his own kennel there are some heated
dog pads that will fit perfectly and keep him
beautifully warm.

Instead of keeping their dog inside many people
prefer to keep their dogs outdoors in a garage or
a shed and an outdoor dog bed is available that
is specifically designed for this use. To make
sure that the beds do not get wet they come with
an external washable cover and lots of these
models are built to keep your dog warm even in
temperatures below zero!

We all love our dogs and would like to keep them
as fit and as active as we can for as long as we
can. A heated dog bed or a heated dog pad is just
the thing to ensure that they do.
