I just emailed snugglesafe and was told that you should not freeze the heatpads
the advice from Scratch and Newton last year was that you CAN freeze them :? did they say why, or what could happen? I froze mine last summer and heated them fine last winter

I've frozen and heated (not on the same day) loads of times and it seems fine. And i've dropped it lots too. Maybe i have a super doops one? :shock:
Dear Georgina,
Thank you for your email.
Firstly, we manufacture the SnuggleSafe heatpad here in the UK & our in house training dictates that we do not recommend freezing a SnuggleSafe heatpad.
Your call or email, would have certainly been put forward to our technical department and no one here would have recommended freezing one.
Regarding the question you raise, the SnuggleSafe microwave heatpad was designed and tested at room temperature +/- 10 degrees C.
Freezing the disc could render it inoperable, as the polypropylene case could crack and leak its contents when re-heated. Just for reference the contents of a SnuggleSafe is totally inert and non toxic.
If you do re-microwave from frozen, this could produce unpredictable results and possibly damage to the pad.
Any such action is done at your own risk and is not covered by the warranty of the product.
We quite often recommend filling an old tupperware box with water and freezing. This is generally what vets recommend.
You may wish to consider our using our newly launched SnuggleSafe Cool pad (scroll down page from hyperlink).
Kind regards,
Chris,
thanks for the update :wave:
But that's what Loppy Ears said in the first post - she;d contacted the manufacturers and they had advised her not to freeze them.

That's a shame, as they're perfect fir fittig into my freezer.
I accidentally microwaves an ice pod last year and that exploded.
