My dog is a borador, with a short double layer coat. In the summer we'd have the air conditioning on and even then she wasn't much of a snuggler because she'd overheat. Now with the colder temperatures setting in I keep a blanket and/or a sweater on me at all times. She can't even snuggle for 5 minutes without needing to leave and sprawl out on the coldest spot on the floor.

How can I make her more comfortable? Would she appreciate a cooling bed, or are there doggy ice packs?

Our dogs took a long time (months) to get used to their cooling beds but now they love them and they work.

Dog cooling bandanas also work with my dogs.

All about dogs - dog breeds, dog training and behavior, news affecting dog owners or handlers, puppy pics, etc.

Rules (Will be refined later on).

  1. Don't be a dick. This should cover most things, just keep in mind that everyone started somewhere and try to be helpful rather than rude or judgmental.

  2. No personal attacks based on training style or tools.
    Discussion of balanced training including proper use of aversives is allowed here.

  3. All breeds and mixes are welcome. You can criticize backyard breeding practices but don't pile on people because they own a specific breed or prefer purebreds or mixed breeds.

  4. Do not support backyard breeders or puppy mills. Please do not link to or suggest buying from high volume breeders or those with an obvious lack of standards and testing.

  5. Do not help or support fake service animals. Please do not encourage people to buy fake service dog vest or ESA letters to get around rental or other restrictions & do not give advice on how to misrepresent a dog as a service or support animal.
