What weight do I need?

It's recommended to use 5%-10% of your total body weight (so 5-10lbs per 100lbs). Total weight should not exceed 15% of total body weight. However some prefer theirs to be under 5% of their body weight. It's really up to each individual to find the right weight for them.

Are these washable?

Both the outer shell and the inner inserts can be hand washed and air dried. Make sure the insert (and weight if applicable) are dry before reinserting into the animal shell.

Are the 5lb and DIY versions different sizes?

No, each animal regardless of internal weight is 23.5in x 16in x approximately 0.75" (depending on the filler used).

How do I fill the DIY insert?

Great question! It's actually really easy. Depending on the size of your filler, we recommend using a funnel and pouring or a cup (or spoon or ladle) and scooping it in. If you're using something larger as your filler, like rocks, you may just want to use your hands. It helps if have someone assist you, but you can do it by yourself too! Check out our video to watch us fill one.

Do you sell the inserts by themselves?

We do offer the empty (DIY) insert by itself. You can view it here. However, we do not offer the 5lb insert by itself at this time.

Are any of the animals different sizes?

Nope! While we offer 5lb and DIY weight options, all 3 animals are the same size.

What is the weight used in the 5lb weighted version?

Glass microbeads.

Can I heat/cool my pet and use it as a heating pad or a cold pack?

Please do not try to heat or freeze your pet. However, you can easily insert your own (already heated) heating pad or (already frozen) cold pack into the animal shell to dress it up!

Weighted lap pads are best used intermittently as the body and brain will adjust to the feeling of the weight over time. Experts generally recommend no more than 20 minutes at a time. But it doesn’t have to be 20 minutes, 5 minutes might be good enough for some. It’s up to each individual to determine how long is best for them.
