Ok i know you guys need the electric blankets but its hot here Smile

I recently posted to say Basil just lies around on our marble floor all day. We have the aircon on, but I dont want it so cool he finds the outside unbearable as he seems to have adjusted well to the heat.
He's not panting indoors so he must be ok but he seems to prefer the cold floor on his tum to his lovely comfy bed.

Anyway the dry skin I posted about on his elbows is today a small callus and bald patch Sad He's too young at 8 months for big horrid calluses Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad

When he was a little pup in the UK heatwave this year we used to freeze his towel to lie on. I dont really want the faff of this everyday. Can you make / buy a cooling pad? Anyone done this before for heatwaves?

I have to persuade him to lie on something softer and therefore it needs to be cooler than the marble. My poor pups elbows Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad

It doesnt help he does that lazy slidey manouvre to lie down and his little elbows thud onto the hard floor Rolling Eyes

Aww its a doggy waterbed! Thanks for that. Bit worried about basil chewing a leak though Smile

they also have a cooling pad wihch looks good, but they dont ship internationally.

The trouble is i need something cooler than marble for him to choose to lie on it and thats gonna be tough. I was wondering if you could get a mat that chills in the freezer or something?

thanks for the help though.

Oops sorry! Didn't really think that one through! Heres another one from Ebay (from USA too but looks like they'd ship). There don't seem to be many in the UK! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Canine-Cooler-LARGE-Dog-Bed-36-x-48-Cooling-Pet-Bed_W0QQitemZ190060725886QQihZ009QQcategoryZ66772QQrdZ1QQssPageN ameZWD2VQQcmdZViewItem
You can put this one in the fridge too. Although you know what these labs are like, you can almost guarantee that you'd get one and he'd refuse to lie on it Laughing Rolling Eyes XX

Thanks,

I found that too after you sent the first link. Ive contacted the seller to see if they will ship.

Its going to cost a chunk but if he uses it instead of the floor its worth it.
If not then i guess I have a comfy cool cushion spare Rolling Eyes

It looks a great product, would do well here.
