The Canine Cooler® is an innovative dog bed which helps your pet keep cool. Unlike cooling mats which need to be soaked in water before each use, you only fill the Canine Cooler® with water the first time you use it - a process which takes about 15 minutes. It is dry to the touch and has no fabric dyes to stain your dog's coat. The overall feeling is sort of like a gel mattress. Most dogs find it very comfortable to lie on. Mine, who will squeeze their bodies into impossibly small corners of their crates to avoid lying on the water soaked cool mats, will readily settle in and lie down on the Canine Cooler.

What makes this product truly unique is that it is a thermoregulating dog bed. As long as it is not exposed to direct sunlight, the Canine Cooler® maintains its cooling properties, never getting warm like other products.

The outside of the product is a heavy vinyl. The material is quite resistant to punctures, but if you have a dedicated digger or chewer this may not be the product for you. Accidental holes are easily repaired with a pool repair patch.To make it even more acceptable to your dogs, you can buy or make a cover or wrap the larger sizes in an old bedsheet. The small size fits nicely into a standard pillowcase.

To avoid risk of heat stroke, you should avoid exposing your dog to very hot and humid conditions, but the Canine Cooler® is a great product for dogs who participate in dog sports events in warmer seasons. It is also helpful for dogs with medical conditions such as Cushings disease.
