Warmth Matters: Safe Heat Support

Warmth is often one of the most important supports you can provide early on. But heat must be controlled—too much can be as dangerous as too little.

Safe principles

• Provide a warm zone and a cooler zone so the animal can move away.
• Avoid direct contact between skin and heat sources.
• Check temperature regularly and adjust.

What a “safe setup” looks like

• A soft pouch or cloth wrap
• A secure container with ventilation
• Heat source positioned so only part of the space is warmed

When to escalate

If an animal is injured or unresponsive, seek professional help urgently. Keep it quiet and secure while you contact a rescuer or vet.
