【Pet Heat Countermeasures】Kainz's "Aluminum Cool Plate" can be used for your heat-sensitive dog
After summer walks, my exhausted dog seems unable to cool down even with the air conditioning blasting. So, I tried using Kainz's "Aluminum Cool Plate."
Chill-out!? Can the Cainz Aluminum Cooling Plate help cool down

When I return from a morning walk, my dog is exhausted from the heat. Especially our Chihuahua struggles with the heat, and often can’t walk until the end of the walk. Using various summer heat prevention goods has made it much easier, but it seems we can't win against this harsh heat lately.

After finishing the post-walk care, my dog goes to a cushion where the air conditioning breeze reaches well. It still looks hot, so I was cooling him down with a handheld fan. "Is there a better way to cool down?" While I was thinking this, a friend recommended the Cainz "Aluminum Cooling Plate."
The entire plate is made of aluminum, which has a high thermal conductivity, efficiently cooling my pet's body. It can be used without electricity, so it's safe for when we're away! This time, I got the smallest S size (approximately 30×40cm) for our heat-sensitive Chihuahua.

When I touched it with my hand, I was surprised by how cool it felt

After installing it in a spot where the air conditioning hits, the surface temperature of the "Aluminum Cool Plate" was 24.7 degrees. When measured with a thermometer, there was not much difference from the floor temperature, but touching it with my hand clearly showed a difference. I wonder if this cool sensation is due to the high thermal conductivity of aluminum...
Cool down as if being absorbed!

My Chihuahua, who is very cautious, initially didn't approach it, but after about two days, he gradually started to sit on the "Aluminum Cool Plate." At first, it seemed he was confused by the cold sensation.

It has been one week since I started using the "Aluminum Cooling Plate." Now, as soon as I come home, I find myself drawn to the plate. My heavy breathing settles down faster, and I can relax in a shorter time than before. Not only after walks, but also after playing energetically with toys, I relax on the plate.
I seem to like that the flat shape allows me to turn over and change positions, enabling me to sleep freely. It has certainly become the best spot to relax.

Maintenance is simply wiping it with a wet tissue

For maintenance, I just wipe it with a wet tissue whenever I notice it getting dirty. Because it's easy to clean, I feel secure even if there’s an accident. Sometimes, while waiting for the care after I get home to be finished, I have them wait on the plate to cool down.
The dogs compete for it...

Maybe because I saw the first one using it comfortably, the other one, who is a bit too cautious, also started using the plate after about two weeks. Now, during the day I place the plate in the living room, and at night on the bed (in the middle to prevent falling), and they use it while competing with each other. Seeing this, it seems I might need to purchase another plate.
