Canine Evaporative Cooling Vest

Canine Cooling Vest Poor puppies, imagine only being able to cool down by sticking out your tongue? It makes sweat seem almost like a luxury doesn’t? This vest uses evaporative cooling to keep your pooch comfy during the summer. The vest is made of three layers of polyester that combine hydrophilic and hydrophobic fibers that, when soaked in water and worn by your dog can keep him or her cool for up to two hours.

The outer air mesh layer conducts body heat away from a dogs body, the middle layer absorbs and holds cool water, while the inner layer actually cools your dog.

“RoamEO has been designed so that you can set up a GPS Fence. RoamEO uses GPS coordinates that you establish by walking the perimeter of your desired fence, and commits them to memory. If your pet exits this perimeter, an audible alarm will sound. For example, you may wish to establish your property line as the perimeter for your pet. After setting up your fence, this information would be stored in your system and if your dog wanders off your property, the alarm will sound. Because this boundary is electronic, you can erase and create new ones as often as you like, giving you the flexibility for any situation or condition.”

Cat Veranda Window House

Cat-Veranda-Window-House.jpg I have 2 cats. City cats. Which means that they cannot roam free and hunt at their leisure. No. They must get all done up in their harnesses, then be attached to a leash. Which then proceeds to get tangled around table and chair legs, me, and the both of them. I see real possibility in the Cat Veranda. I’ll still take them outside, because despite the moments of chaos and ridiculousness, they’re pretty darn cut out there, and they really love to be out. But this could be the perfect alternative for times when I’m too busy to be outside with them, like when I’m posting to GadgetLiving.
