When I first saw the Bella's Hot/Cold Pain Relief Pack from Bella'sPainRelief.com I thought to myself, "I wish I'd had that for those knee surgeries!"
Bella, being a three legged Great Dane, had several orthopedic conditions that were comforted with hot and cold modalities. Her loving mom developed this pack out of frustration with ordinary heat packs that slid or fell off when they were supposed to be helping speed up recovery after surgery. The pack is simple-two elastic straps that hold the pack in place anywhere on the dog-the neck, hips, back, knees or stomach to apply moist heat or cold to arthritic joints, surgery sites, or sore muscles. I can't think of a more useful tool for a dog recovering from a spay or orthopedic surgery or a dog with hip or back issues. It's non-toxic, easy to use and completely safe.
It sounded so good, but Bella's mom wanted me to be sure! She sent a pack for Lula to try out. Last night at bedtime, after microwaving the pack in several short cycles (great use instructions were given) I tucked Lula in under the Bella pack, placing the pack over her arthritic hip. At first she thought this was strange-why would I put something on the hip that feels bad already? But 10 seconds later, I saw a look in her eyes that showed me that the pain was melting away-she loved it! 
I am sure that as soon as she sees me toasting up the pack tonight, she'll run right to her bed to be ready for her Bella pack.
The pack is available for home use ($39.95), but is also used in veterinary clinics to provide instant post-op comfort. Because we know that it can significantly aid in recovery it's even covered by an Embrace Pet Insurance policy.
