When you have extra time please go back and listen to Episode 10 - Car Safety Setups & Keeping Cool it really covers an immense amount of useful information, so much so that I broke it down and redid it to a) remove the pandemic-isms and b) update some of the products I have found to be even better to help us and our dogs stay cool this summer.
What it boils down to is a little bit of science, good cooling products and a great car setup. I help you keep your pups cool so the stress from the heat is one less thing they have to deal with.
Here are the products I mention/recommend and no, I do not have an affiliate account. I would love one but the hours in my day slip away and I'd rather just give you the information than figure out how to get paid to share it :P
- Ryobi Supercharger (I call it a rapid charger) - remember to compare to the Ryobi days sale Home Depot has usually from Memorial Day weekend through Father's Day. I did not link it because it will expire and you will be disappointed in me
- Jackery Portable Power Station - I have seen several exhibitors with these, these are on the high end for price but ask them, I bet they are worth it
- Marbero Portable Power Station - I have zero idea of the quality but for the price, worth a try?
- Eagle Peak Pop-Up Tent (Easy Up, which is a brand but we use it as a proprietary eponym) - I do not have this one but would buy it, it has vents, vents are important for wind gusts
- Aluminet with Bungees - I have this one and love it
- Magnets - Remember, don't be cheap
- Spring Camps - I might have called them clips
- Cooling Coat - Love this one
- Cooling Mat - Spend the money and get this one
- Govee Thermometer - I zip tie this bad boy to my crates where their heads would be if sitting up. It has been very reliable, just does not have a great range.
