We may not be in the dog days of summer yet but the temperature is still heating up. If you love bringing your pooch on your houseboating outings, here's a cool product that will help them beat the heat and stay comfortable onboard. 

The Cool Pet Pad is a Green Pet Shop product that boasts quite a clever design. The non-toxic gel formula works immediately as soon as pressure activates it, offering cool relief without the need for water or electricity. The Cool Pet Pad folds down to a smaller size for transport, can be cleaned with mild soap and water, and lasts for up to four hours of constant cooling power before needing a short period of non-use to “recharge.”

Sounds like magic, doesn’t it? You can order from five different sizes for dogs under 20 pounds ($24.99) to dogs over 100 pounds ($84.99). I see no reason why you couldn’t try this out yourself when the dog isn’t looking.  For more information, just call 800-707-9819 or visit www.thegreenpetshop.com.
