Advices for maximum management of hypothermia
What is hypothermia? And how do you manage it?
The term hypothermia is used to describe a warm-blooded animal’s temperature when it has decreased below its normal values, so that its vital functions may be impaired.
Example for a cat or a dog:
< 95°F (35°C): Critical Hypothermia / Vital risk
< 96,8°F (36.5°C) : Pronounced Hypothermia
< 100.4°F (38.5°C) : Hypothermia
What are the causes and consequences of hypothermia?
Hypothermia in dogs and cats can occur in a variety of circumstances:
- Trauma
- Anaesthesia
- Surgery, ….
Hypothermia may have dramatic consequences such as severe damage caused to vital organs, and in some cases, even death of the animal.
The smaller the animal, the greater the risk of hypothermia.

CarbonTech V1
The CarbonTech V1 is a warming device specially developed to warm dogs and cats, both preventively and curatively.
- High density carbon fabric (insensitive to ageing and therefore unlimited in use)
- Safe to use
- Flexible structure, Optimal Comfort
- Super resistant coating
- Natural, Durable and Recyclable
- 2 sizes (cage and table)
CarbonTech V2
The CarbonTech V2 is the evolution of the CarbonTech V1, thus using the same carbon fabric technology and also a safe low voltage. It also exists in both sizes. The CarbonTech V2 brings in new features:
- A waterproof power block disconnection system
- Three levels of power that can be easily selected to adapt to all situations
- An electronic temperature regulation system
- An even more efficient warming
