Vet Tech Week · October 18 to 24
Don't tape it.
Seal it.
The Tech Week No Chills Dental Kit keeps patients warm and dry through long dentals, TPLOs, and any procedure under anesthesia. It works with the warming pad and forced air unit you already have.
In the field
Trusted by Working Dog Veterinarians
Real patient · 9 YR OLD WORKING DOG
9 years old. Two procedures. One anesthesia.
A 9 year old working dog came in for a TPLO. At her age, she was high risk. She held her temperature so well that the team kept her under and did her dental cleaning too.
One trip under. Two procedures done.
One small fix
Stop fixing the blanket. Start warming the patient.
The problem
dogs end anesthesia below 97.7°F.
Redondo et al., Veterinary Record, 2012. Study of 1,525 dogs.
Dentals are the hardest. The table is steel. The scaler sprays water. Small, older patients cool down fast.
What we see in treatment rooms
- Vet tape wrapped around the hose, every case
- Old tubing tied on to hold the blanket
- Runs to the dryer for hot towels
- Warmies that go cold
- Wet cotton that pulls heat away
How it works
A Hot Pocket around your patient
Heat from below. Heat from above. Then a sealed shell holds it all in. Each layer traps the heat of the one under it. Build it from the table up. The step numbers match the diagram.
Waterproof Pop Top
Water and wind proof shell. Mesh corners clip to your pad to seal the warm air in.
Premium Quick Dry Blanket
Denali 300 fleece. Holds warmth and dries fast.
Air Hugger™
Patent pending. Laser cut holes move warm air around the patient. The cuff locks onto your hose. No tape.
Forced air unit
Bair Hugger, BedJet, or similar. Plugs into the Air Hugger in step 4.
Warming pad or heated table
HotDog, water blanket, or heated table.
Steps 2 and 3 are the mat and your patient. The diagram shows all 6.
Quick tip: before each case, check your blower's air with an infrared thermometer. We show you how in training.

3 hours. 3 extractions. Still warm.

Textile science
Wet fabric steals heat
Water pulls heat away more than 20 times faster than air. So the fabric touching your patient matters as much as the heat you add.
Water moves heat fast
In one study, young dogs were down to 96.6°F just 45 minutes into surgery after a wet scrub. Cats were at 95.2°F by 35 minutes.
Isaza et al., Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia, 2021. Water vs air: Princeton Outdoor Action.
Cotton soaks it up
Towels hold water against the patient. The wet towel keeps pulling heat out.
Our fabric sheds it
A water repellent coating makes fluids bead up and roll off. The fleece dries fast.
Built with The North Face layering science
Linda Tang led global quality assurance at The North Face for 7 years. Her teams made sure the layering, fabrics, and construction held up for athletes on the world's highest peaks.
The Summit system uses that same thinking: warm layers that trap heat, and a sealed shell that keeps wind and water out. Now it keeps your patients warm on the table.
Made in the USA from reclaimed performance fabric. Sewn in California. See Linda's background
