DOGS & CATS

Leading on from the work done by John Gordon & Robert Rix on the INFRA-THERM Heated Horse Rug, it was decided to apply the technology to other animal products; after all if you can keep something as big as a horse warm, then going down in size just makes the technical challenges that much easier.

Gorix Technology has now found a way to keep domestic dogs warm with a range of Heated Dog Jackets. The INFRA-THERM Dog Jacket comes in 7 sizes to keep canines warm, from Chihuahuas to Wolf Hounds. So who said "Hot Dogs and Conductive Textiles had nothing in common" The Jackets will be of particular interest to Racing Greyhound owners, who need to ensure that their animals are warm and supple before events to ensure against muscle strain and other soft tissue injury.

Power for the Gorix E-CT elements in the Jackets comes from a battery that can be either slipped into a special pocket on the Jacket or carried by the owner in the case of smaller breeds.

Cat Lovers need not miss out on keeping their pussies warm; cats being more independent types, didn't go for the INFRA-THERM Kitty Coat that was prototyped, but really loved to snuggle down in the INFRA-THERM Heated Cat Basket. Intended primarily for in home use, the basket constructed from PU coated Nylon is powered by a safe step down transformer that reduces the mains voltage from the wall outlet to 12 volts, the basket can also be run from the cigarette lighter in your car if you need to keep your pussy warm whilst travelling.

Other animals to benefit from the invention of Gorix E-CT are Reptiles with the INFRA-THERM Vivarium Heater and small mammals like Rats, Mice, Hamsters and Gerbils who have had cage heaters designed especially for them.
