To avoid leaks and breaking, do not allow pet to sit on, lean against, or lie down on the gel pack. Do not apply the cold pack for more than 25 minutes at a time.

For Hot Therapy
Remove gel pack from wrap. Place pack flat in a microwave oven and heat on the MEDIUM setting for no longer than one minute. To continue heating the gel pack, heat on the LOW setting in 10 second intervals until the desired temperature is reached. Monitor the gel pack while it is heating. If you observe any swelling, turn off the microwave and wait for the swelling to subside before removing the pack. Remove pack from microwave oven and insert into the mesh pocket of the wrap. Do not remove without using oven mitts or some other form of hand protection. Secure the pack in the pocket using the Velcro tab.
NOTE: For more effective heat relief, you may want to wrap a moist towel around the gel pack prior to inserting it in the wrap. The moisture will make it easier for the heat to penetrate into the pet’s muscles to soothe pain and soreness. Test the wrap’s temperature to make sure it is comfortable. If wrap is too hot, allow it to cool before applying to pet.
