How to Choose the Perfect Electric Heating Pad?

Moist heat therapy is definitely a better alternative for the elderly and people with dry skin. They provide deeper penetration. Hence are more effective for muscle relief. Remember - never add or sprinkle water on moist heating pads for safety reasons. Dry heating pads, on the other hand, draw out the moisture from the skin making it dehydrated.

Depending upon your skin type and location (some places are humid, some are extremely dry) make your decision. We suggest you buy a heating pad that has both dry and moist options.

Just make sure you regulate the temps. You are also going to have to monitor the humidity closely. Good Luck.

Heating pad burns on dog.?

I used to work for a vet and never heard of this. If the second vet knew immediately then he or she must have burned a dog that way, too. We rarely if ever used heating pads. We used regular blankets for larger animals (dogs & cats) and heat lamps pointed at other pets who needed extra warmth (mostly birds). Pet heating pads, at least the ones I have used, seldom get warm enough to burn anything; they are designed to give low heat only. Maybe there was an unexpected heating pad malfunction? I think your vet really was mystified about the red marks. I hope you are treating the burns appropriately. They should heal up soon.

If using a heating pad, set it to a low setting and put a towel over the pad. Lay your head, plugged ear side down, on the heating pad. Do not do this for more than a few minutes at a time.

Ear candles has been proven to be ineffective as removing earwax. While the heat my soften the ear wax for easier removal, there are safer and more effective ways to do it without putting a flame next to your head.
