Thanks for watching!
Bob, my grandson asked me if you were Santa Clause. I said yes, your just on vacation!,,
I was thinking about that. Also the Zig Zag man🤣🤣
Word of caution. Heard a story about dog that chewed a cooling pad and ate some of it and died so if you have a chewer please be careful.
I have a pet cooling pad, a large one, for my dogs. I use it on hot days myself and when it gets to my body temperature I just turn it over and it works right away. I love my cooling pad.
In my opinion, we as owners will see to the pets well being more than ourselves. I certainly know I do. 👍🐕
Dear Bob,
I just couldn't help but laugh when you were putting the scarf pad on cody💙
Amen
I am so glad you put this on. My pets are one thing that I worry about when I think of going into a van. Thank you
My 50lb dog lays on her cool pad a lot. Just wipe it off, I think covering it cutdown on the effectiveness. I sit on it myself. Have taken a wet towel and draped over my dog ( something we’d do at dog competitions) so I think the cool towel will be great. Thanks for the video
Coolness on the belly and the pads of their feet is what helps to cool pets...When they pant it circulates the blood which also helps to cool them...Shade and a fan are good ideas...Love those cooling pads😁
That pad looks like something I'd like to put on my mattress for myself.
In the car, between you and the car seat.
I do and it works great!
They have these at the $1 store for about$3-6 each ( 2 diff. Sizes) I plan on leaving mine folded up and put it in the ice chest in a baggie or the freezer
Hi Bob - I have had a Green Pet Shop cooling mat for my small dog for a couple of years now. She LOVES it. It took her 2-3 times of sitting on it to figure out that she was cooled by it. After that, she would go right to it as soon as we got into the car. The pad actually drops the temperature down 2-3 degrees, I think. I forget what it said on the side of the box. This is also a product you could use for yourself. So, buy 2 people. Use it to rest up against in a chair/seat. I’ve held it to my chest with a bit of pressure and enjoyed the immediate cooling effect from it. It is useful for your pets, even in the home, if you don’t have A/C. On the opposite side of things . . . keeping my little one warm in winter is also a concern. For this problem, I have found the Heat Seat - a cushion that ice fishers/hunters use for sitting on. It uses no electricity, has no chemical activation (like hand warmers, etc,) that only lasts a short while, and is VERY affordable. It works on a process of reflection of your body heat back up from the cushion. The cushion itself does NOT get hot, but you (or your pet) get right toasty warm. It’s amazing. Even through thick clothing. Again, my little one took to it in about 2 tries. I could tell how cold she felt in the car by whether or not she was on her fluffy pillow or on the Heat Seat cushion. It’s just the right size for her to curl up on (she’s a Japanese Chin/Shitzu/Havanese cross - about 20 lbs, but not fat, just a big girl). The one I have is round, but you can also get them in a square shape. For a bigger dog, maybe 2-4 square ones linked together in some way might work. Maybe sew 2-4 pillow cases together with the open ends out and put the cushions in there. Might work out, 🙂 I think they can be found in any hunting store like Cabela’s, etc. I bought mine at Canadian Tire (I’m in Canada) for around $25 dollars. Probably cheaper on-line somewhere. Thank you for all your great videos. This one in particular is relevant to all pet owners whether they be gypsies or not. Keep your videos coming. I have learned a lot from them even though I don’t live in an automobile. 👵🏻🐾💕🇨🇦
These are great tips. Thank you. When I had rabbits I would give them a frozen water bottle on hot days. If the animal won't chew the cover you can slip freezer packs into a sleeve made from a small towel or a bottle into an old sock or cut-off sleeve. Same for cold days, a hot water bottle wrapped in a sleeve can stay warm for many hours, even overnight providing some extra warmth. I really wish we had remembered to do that when it got down to 40 degrees and my daughter and I woke up really cold while backpacking in June!
Bob, I just love you so much. You’re such a kind, caring, generous soul & I love your chuckle which makes me smile ear-to-ear.
My Mom is turning 87 next month (7/2020) & I recalled watching this vid, found it again on your channel, & will be buying at least 3 chill pals-1 for my Mom, 1 for my husband who’s on dialysis & needs a kidney🙏🏼🤞🏼, & 1 for me via your Amazon link.
My Mom has a little ADA compliant apt that has no cross ventilation; she hates running her a/c especially on high bc it cost so much on her electric bill. The chill pal will help us all stay cool in the heat w/out running a lot of fans & the a/c constantly or on high (low technically).
BTW, I have a dear neighbor who I told to start watching your vlogs. We both were amazed to discover that we each unbeknownst to the other had been subscribed to you for 3+/- years. He’s going to be joining your caravan (is in his late 60s) & has bought the best products based on your great reviews & his own thorough research.
I’m so happy for him & thrilled to know he won’t be homeless when his long-term living situation comes to an end due to factors beyond his control.
His rig is a beauty w/loads of solar & a generator. Loves to cook. Needs a travel companion (has 2 queen size beds in his rig). I just know he’ll find just the right person to travel with before or during his travels🙏🏼🤞🏼.
He’s planning to donate regularly to HOWA bc like you he’s got a big heart. Didn’t expect this life for his retirement years but is looking fwd to the adventure.
See how much you affect ppl?!? You just never know the ripple effects of the educational interviews/tours/reviews you do will reach & how they’ll change lives!!
Ty for helping my friend & giving him, & so many others, hope!💙🤗🦋
Bob your dog is gorgeous, beautiful baby. When I saw the pad I said to myself a pillow case would be perfect and then you came out saying it. Awesome, God bless you and your beautiful channel.
I have a power chewer who chews up cooling pads and beds. So, I got him a Ruffwear Swamp Cooler Cooling vest. I also have a fan in the van, and insulation. When I leave him in the van, I have more procedures to go through than NASA preparing a rocket to launch.
Thank you Bob and KC.
Please add that even with these helpful products : NEVER LEAVE YOUR DOG ALONE IN A HOT CAR! Not even for a minute. Not even with the windows cracked.These products are not intended to be used when your dog is alone. They are to be supervised by you! ❤️🐶🐶
@TakeWhatYouNeed LeaveTheRest
Think would you leave your child in the car for a minute and 30? This dogs are like our baby even if there not human. You need to know what the love for a pet is really. There just like a baby, for us that love are dogs, its like leaving a baby in the car.
Sno Win best to give very specific instructions. Even if you save only one dog’s life.
If I need to leave my dogs in the vehicle, I leave it running with the A/C on. I have a spare key so can lock it when out of the vehicle. Of course it is not for more than a few minutes like I need. To run into McDonald's to pee.
Mine Not thank you for responding. We all love our dogs and do our best to keep them safe. If we can spread the good word to others, let's do it!
I'm a truck driver with an APU unit it keeps my cab COOL. I had a dog at one time you have to leave the dog when you shower shop work on a dock even eating at a restaurant so whether you are a truck,RV, or VAN car as long as you have a method of cooling the interior the animal is fine
Great video, Bob! The ones that work on evaporation would not work in high humidity areas but would be amazing in arid climates. That pressure cooling pad and the cooling bed might work well even in the balmy, high humidity areas. Thank you!

I'm in New Orleans, FAMOUS for our heat/humidity and the cooling pad works So Well I'm getting one for My bed!
😽 Great video. For cooling the space, while Traveling With Tabitha (the cat) she has a Solar Powered Stroller. It has solar panels, that run two small fans, lighting, and internet (cat videos). Her cooling pad is a refillable ice bag beneath a light towel.
@DewdropN...and worth it. 😊
what I always use to keep my dog cool is a fan and when it gets really hot I hang bags of ice cubes in front of it. that is also possible in an RV at 12 volts. This is really great
Great idea. Thanks Peter.
Great video! I like the pet bed the best, followed by the MacGyvered Coolpal buff, as it cools the underside of the dog. Cooling the underside of the dog is more important than anywhere else, as that is where their vital organs that are prone to organ failure lie closest to the skin. That is why if you carry a spray bottle of water for your pet, it is important to spray their underside the most to promote evaporative cooling.
Awww you must be a good man Bob. You are so caring and kind to our precious innocent pups without a voice.
I’ve used those cooling pads. They really do help. Can’t expect ice cold but I tested the one I bought. Putting pressure using my hands as if walking around on it. After a few I touched and it was cool. I haven’t tried the vest. I will get one.
My old dog had Cushings disease and I bought a pad for where he liked to sleep. It worked good for him.
I love how you just become a kid with your dog haha.
I would want 2 of the bigger pads for myself.
Cody is one happy dog.
Just love this video! Thank u .I love my bambam.
GREAT IDEAS, I definitely will buy the chill pal for my dog as I'm getting ready to go full time in January .
LOVED the chill pad part when Casey put the one with the holes on Kona ! Good Job ! Loved this one 💜
Thank ya’ll for the videos, they sure are a lot more educational, entertaining, and interesting to watch than practically everything that is on television. I miss my dog Buddy. Stay safe.
Thank you Von. I appreciate you watching.
Thanks, these are great for any dog in a hot climate.
I'm not RVing just yet, but I do have a fan/squirt bottle that my fur baby loves. Its battery operated that comes with a fan that squirts out water. I got it at Big 5.
Thank you Bob. This is my main concern for my 11 year old Corgi 'puppy'. Great info, thank you KC, Kona, Cody and Bob.
To cool them off fast the cooling pads are the most effective. Along with having them stand in cool water. Their stomach and paws have less hair so it's easier to get to their body temperature to cool off faster.
Thanks for sharing Bob and KC . Great video. ❤ Definitely buying this for my dog Arrow 🐶
Cute name!
Wow. That cooling pal buff was a great idea
I own an English Labrador, so that being said I never find myself to far from water, which keeps him cooler, me being the fly-fishing trout bum I am, keeps me whipping the water. That's my strategy!
Excellent! Thank you so much for this information.
Lol...Cody..the STAR, AGAIN..great idea..gonna get a few.
Cody is the coolest dog ever. How cute is he 😎👍
Awesome, thx Bob for sharing some products for the nomad fur babies... definitely one of my concerns. I want my fur child to be comfortable both warm and cold.
Cody we love you. Thank goodness your owner keeps you clean and stinky free. Thank you Bob love ❤️.im gonna come see yall
When I lived on a top floor apartment during a heat wave I would soak a towel a lay it over me. I would be able to fall asleep using a wet towel and a fan. Kind of gross having a heavy wet towel on you but if desperate..
shannon cardinal I have wet my sheets in cold water and fan word to fall asleep. It would be dry by the time I woke. I also use a tall man tank which is like a dress on me. It drys quick but keeping me alive
@@a.mariacameli3373 we do what we have to hey? Luckily for me now there are lots of trees providing excellent air conditioning. I am also not in a hot climate. Maybe two weeks a year are above 30 celcius.
Look good things Bob. And thanks for the laughs you gave me when you tried it them on🤣
I think the cooling pet pad would work well for my hubby under the sheets to sleep cooler in bed!I have the gaiter and love it
My dogs LOVE the cool pad! It stays on the bed during the day while I'm at work (I live in a 7×11 utility trailer, with fans and open vent/window, in a campground to make my hometown, New Orleans, affordable) and on the floor at night. I don't like air conditioning and am Seriously considering getting another large pad for Me!
Thanks so much for these ideas! We're not on the road yet but our home flooded due to a burst pipe under kitchen sink last Sat and during our heat wave here in VA Beach with the hot dehumidifier's on in our home with the AC going our home got up to 95 degrees. I have a 12 yr old lab mix that I just couldn't keep cool. We only had a cooling gel mat from animal planet which didn't help very much and cold water on wash clothes. We finally had to suck it up and get in a hotel room for two and half days which was very expensive but we love our doggie! I wish I'd of known about these products before now! We'll def be buying these for our Bailey in case this ever happens again and we'll be able to use when we get on the road! Thanks guys for all you do!! Love and hugs from Va Beach!! Love to Cody too💕🐾
That is the cutess furbaby ever!
Lou💚
awesome job KC. thanks for the tip on the buff!🚙🙋
Good video I live in FL in desperation I take ice cubes put them in a Zip lock baggie snack pack size then wrap in bandana and wrap around doggies neck
Awww Bob we know You Love Coty :) Thanks for all Your Great Videos
Great demo KC! I had to review this and really have appreciated the tips over the years. I think the cob of the cooling pad AND fan are a great combo, my pups like to sit right in front of their fan and I know their harness is cool to the touch.
Thanks so much, Bob.. I'm in Canada living in a private RV park. They don't like the air conditioners going in the units when you are away and I work all day in a town about 1/2 hr away so have been insulating the Motorhome, best I can and using a fan on the floor but I still worry that my little dog is getting too hot. I've purchased all 3 of the items you've shown and hoping this helps my little girl. Alberta is getting up around mid to high 20 Celsius area but it's always warmer inside. Can't leave windows open as the storms here have been bizarre this year and I just can't trust the weather.. so, thanks to you and KC for these ideas!
More videos with the dogs please
Looks like a great product Bob and I need to get my dog one because we are in Utah right now and they got 96 yesterday
that gave me other ideas ,, like when living in Canadian winters , a heating pad or something similar to that perhaps???
Dogs sweat through their paws so standing them on a wet, cool towel like the coolpal is the best way to cool them. My Pomeranians sleep on ice packs and love it also I never cut off their coat...they need their coat to be cool. Misting your pet with a spray bottle is also effective in keeping your pet cool.
Shawn Christine Jones most dogs sweat thru their tongue, paws also
Great, thank you. What a sweet pup.
Great info. Thanks Bob!
Kona is so patient for you KC, I can not see Jema ever being calm enough!! LOL! Thanks for all these great ideas Bob and KC!
Great info and presentation..Cody is a beautiful dog..What type of dog is he? I loved Bob's laugh when putting the cooling sleeve on Cody..Thank you KC, Kona, Bob and Cody for video..Have a Blessed Day..
Great idea! I know what to get for my dogs when I we go on a road trip.
Great dogs.
Have personally used the pad on myself. I was boondocking near Arches and night time temp was 92 degrees. I was sleeping in the back seat with the windows rolled up due to bugs. I laid on top of the pad and was cooled off enough to fall asleep. Get 2 so when the first one loses coolness you can switch.
I love these ideas!
First off, park in the shade!
pretty cool ideas
Great ideas!
Thank you. 💕🦋💜
I used the ruffwear cooling coat for my 45 lb hound. It works very well for our needs. He can be more mobile in rising temps. When it gets really hot it makes it so much less stressful for him. I would like the chill pal also!
Interesting, Bob. Cooling your pets via cooling pad. Another trick is perhaps give him pink salt water so his body does not sweat out essential.minerals. Body retain moisture when salt is added to water
And have the potential to kill your pet from hypernatremia. Horrible advice.
Thanks Bob!!!! You're a life saver! Literally!
Thanks soooo Much for this video ! I am going to buy the bed for our Dog. I am truly appreciative of you Bob, and KC doing this for us ! Thanks again ... U ROCK Bob !!!
Thanks for the info
I couldnt help but laugh with that on Cody. Sure he will love wearing one. Ive 3 chis (chihuahuas) with one of them being almost hairless. Im concerned about keeping them warm in the winter. Heat doesnt bother them very much but the cold would more so than most dogs.
pretty chill dog ...
Dang I need some of those cool pads may have to get some and put on my mattress for me lol.
Little blue riding hood😂
keep going, great work! 💯😎 gave me some ideas for my channel!
My dog is the main reason I don’t travel more. I’m in FL with a minivan. The heat is ridiculous. My dog is small but not friendly to strangers (Jack Russell Terrier) so he can’t go to many public events.
Love the products! Love Kona and Cody more! 👏👏👏
Bob a pillowcase cover is a good idea! I have one of those cooling pads, but from Aldi's for I think $15-20 & it's pretty good. Thanks for the tips. Cody is so cute!🐶🐾
Bob, I have a Cool Wrap I use at work where I am around heat and steamy area with little moving air.
Can’t work without it!
This is such a great video for the parents.
Clever!
I just bought a cooling pad and the cloth, thanks for the info.
Hi Bob love the cute babushka on you and Cody
Cody 😍😍😍
Lol she is so patient, good video
You better give that dog a Treat
Great product for humans and dogs
Love all these Bob!
Thank you for sharing !
Faye
Thanks Bob for sharing your info, be safe, ❤️🥰🇨🇦
Kona! beautiful actress!!!!!
Thanks Bob & KC 🙂 I just ordered 2 Chill pals 😁
Thanks Bob, great video! 👍🐾
Great video. It amazes me that owners do not know this information. I always travel with my little companion.
Super thank you
you can use a pillow case for those cooling pads ,,
@12:43 I thought you are going to say you can rob a bank with it
I think that in humid conditions, you might just end up with a moldy pet. But, in arid conditions, I bet these items work well.
someone was up early lol
Great Video because with this current heat wave, have to keep the pet's safe and comfortable!
Keep the wet. spray water on the dog and give the dog access to a filled up kiddy swimming pool...
