INU Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Anyone has tried Dog Cooling Mat? It's getting hot in Texas and the dogs can use a little help cooling down after training. When not working, they are always in the kennel in my car, in the shade but with humidity, it's not so pleasant. In summer, I usually have fronzen bottles of water and throw them in there. If really hot, I just run the A/C for hours. I found several brands. This one has crystals in it. I don't know how cool it stays outside. Scotts Dog And this one is a bit different. Dog Gone Good Another company I can take a cooler full of ice and maybe leave the mat inside? I need it to stay cool for at least 3-4 hours. Your suggestions and feedback are appreciated. P.S. I tried to search cool mat... it doesn't let me search unless the word is longer than 4 (?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SincereArtisan Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 The first and last ones you have listed seem pretty nice and portable, and they last for two days a a time, which is hard to argue with. But, how easy are they to clean, is my question??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurae Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 These all look really cool. I had one years ago that was just a blue plastic mat filled with the crystals. Sophie, who is not generally destructive, either chewed or scratched a hole in it fairly quickly (like days). Maybe that was just bad luck, though. I'd like to try again, because two days of continued coolness sounds awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness_bc Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Silver Eagle make ones that are a special fabric weave rather than crystals which are apparently very good. I don't know where you get them from in the States but they make human cool clothing as well. They also make dog coats. ETA Here is a link for them. http://www.silvereagleoutfitters.com/shop/...Crate_Mat_B.htm Sally and Ness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathyF Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 I like the ones that I have gotten from ValleyVet. They hold the coolness for hours. http://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?pg...92-00b0d0204ae5 Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
