Well, the cooler bed we ordered came a couple of days ago and as promised, I'm posting my review:
The testing of the bed could not have come at a better time - we are having hot, humid weather here in Ontario. It's the kind of weather that makes it impossible for your dog to go for a walk during the day due to the heat and smog that wraps around you like a blanket. Guinness has been pretty uncomfortable during the past few days - not being able to settle to long on the hardwood or tile before it becomes warm from his body heat. We put the cooler bed together (filling it with about 40 cups of water, smoothing out the air and wrinkles and leaving it to cool). The instruction booklet showed the correct and incorrect way the bed should look after you've filled it and ours looks closer to the incorrect way
. But I slipped the cover on the bed and popped it in Guinness's crate so he'd have no choice but to try it out. And the verdict?.....SUCCESS! He's been sleeping peacefully for the past hour and a half and only moved once and most importantly - NO PANTING! (I've attached a pic of the happy sleeping pup). I'm very impressed thus far - I'll post again in a couple of weeks to let you know if the bed continues to work.
Cheers;
