Overheated, tired dogs love cool surfaces to lay on. Cool surfaces feel good on achy bones, and they help with post-amputation pain management relief too.

In our recent Tripawd News chat with animal rehabilitation specialist Leslie Gallagher McMahon, CCMT, CCRT of Two Hands Four Paws Canine Massage and Rehabilitation in Los Angeles, she tells how most dogs prefer cold over heat and using ice can reduce swelling and inflammation can aid in surgery recovery.

The Cool Bed: Restful Sleep for Post-Surgery Tripawds

The Cool Bed III is a great post-surgery aid for Tripawds. It works like a water bed. Once you fill it with water, the specially designed inner foam and water cells will evenly distribute wave-free, soothing coolness that’s at least 20 degrees cooler than the ambient air temperature.

The Cool Bed III requires no electricity to operate, and is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. You can even purchase
fitted, washable sheet that can come in handy when your Tripawd comes home from the hospital.

Cooling Dog Bed Considerations

The Cool Bed III has recently been redesigned with a non-toxic, vinyl/nylon surface that’s tougher and more durable than ever. But, if your dog loves to eat his beds, this might not be a good option. Like any dog product, nothing is indestructible and there is always the potential for water leakage after a good chew session (try a Bella’s Pain Pack instead!).  However:

Cool Bed III comes with a two year limited manufacturer warranty which covers defects in materials and worksmanship!
