What do you reach for when your back is sore or your muscles are tired? A heating pad?
Humans often use heat to improve blood circulation, relieve stiff muscle aches, and reduce muscle soreness.
The good news is that devices like heating pads can also benefit our dogs.
The Petie Tec heated therapy device for dogs is a new product that provides concentrated heat to specific areas of your pup's body.
In physical therapy, heating pads for dogs are also used for those with arthritis, joint problems, and injuries.
Enough evidence points to the effectiveness of heat therapy and heating pads to treat arthritis and joint and muscle-related health issues.
Even Harvard Health Medical School recommends using heating devices as a cheap and effective solution for these and many other related health problems.
According to Graphenea, “Graphene is a single layer (monolayer) of carbon atoms, tightly bound in a hexagonal honeycomb lattice…Graphene is the thinnest compound known to man at one atom thick, the lightest material known, the strongest compound discovered, the best conductor of heat at room temperature, and the best conductor of electricity known.”
The Petie Tec heated therapy device for dogs uses graphene heated therapy to differentiate it from traditional heating devices.
I've tried the device with my Labrador, Saddie, for the past few months.
Find out if she likes wearing the device, how effective it is, and whether or not it is worth the price tag.
Petie Tec Heated Therapy Device for Dogs Review
This device piqued my interest because it is 100% safe, and the treatment has no side effects.
Veterinarians have also approved it, which can be used with other treatment options.
As you will see in my video review above, many different braces are included in this package.
A back brace, a hip brace, and elbow braces are all available from Petie Tec. Several sizing options are also available for various dog breeds and sizes.
The Petie Tec heated therapy brace for dogs treats a wide variety of issues, including:
- Joint pain caused by arthritis
- Joint pain caused by hip/elbow dysplasia
- Limping or stiffness
- Tightness in back and legs
- Pain caused by ACL tears
- Pain caused by degenerative myelopathy (DM)
- Post-surgical recovery
- Injury recovery
Graphene heating film technology produces infrared ray heat penetrating the muscle, making this brace more powerful and effective than a traditional heating pad.
My favorite thing about the device, aside from its effectiveness, is that you can use it in the comfort of your own home.
That means no vet visits or expensive bills for heat therapy, and your pup will be much more comfortable in his environment.
There are 3 heat levels, as you'll see in my video guide.
You can change the heat from 95˚F (green) to 104˚F (blue) or 118.4˚F (red). The run times for each device are:
It takes about 90 minutes to charge the battery banks from empty.
We've been using the device for about three months now, and Saddie's joint stiffness has been reduced noticeably.
We live in Maine, so the winters are cold. We don't spend as much time outside, and between the little exercise and cold temperatures, Saddie's stiffness is much worse in the winter than in the summer.
I was thrilled to have the Petie Tec heated therapy brace for dogs to help relieve some of her discomforts this past winter.
Each brace sells for $129.
Packages to treat multiple body areas are also available for $159-$199.
I know that the price tag won't fit into everyone's budget.
However, considering the effectiveness, quality, and ease of use, I would highly recommend the Petie Tec brace as an excellent value for the money.
Also, keep in mind that this product can help save you money on expensive vet heat therapy sessions, prescription pain medication, and other physical therapy devices.
