Hi Nancy,
I am writing to tell you how absolutely THRILLED I am with my Silver Eagle cooling 'crate pad' !!! Your products are simply AMAZING !!!
I was judging the Charleston [ SC ] Dog Training Club's outdoor agility trials earlier this month. It was a terrific event...but HOT !!! Both the exhibitors, and 'the other judge' were raving about these wonderful cooling products, so, after my ring finished up, I went to take a look. I purchased a crate pad, and I have to tell you, it was the best money I've EVER spent at a trial !!!
A few weekends later, I was showing my dogs in Vero Beach, FL. The local news station gave the temperature at 98...although 3 different banks with outdoor time/temp display signs had it at 108 !!! My Silver Eagle cooling pad, and some well-positioned reflective shade-cloth kept my dogs fresh, oh so comfortable, and ready to go !!! I wanted to crawl inside with them...it felt like it was air-conditioned in there :) It really made all the difference ! ( Note to self: buy Skeets, my Pointer, a coat at the NEXT opportunity !!! )
...
Sincerely,

I purchased [the Cooling Crate Mats] for my pekingese and was amazed. They lay on these and it really does keep them cool. Very important for short nose dogs to not over heat. After laying on the mat for several hours I picked up my dog and it had kept so cool even in warmer weather. I would highly recommend these mats and blankets to anyone with breeds that over heat easily. Best product I have purchased. Gel mats do not come close to the preformance of this mat and could very well save your dogs life in hot weather.

From a customer of our Australian dealer, Silver Eagle Outfitters- Australia:
I would really like to thank you just so much for making
me aware of the wonderful cooling rugs that you have on sale for dogs. A
couple of weeks ago when we had the very hot weather, my lovely old Border
Collie ( Aust NZ CH Glentress Chain Reaction ) who I love dearly, had a
terrible turn. He was panting until his tongue nearly reached the ground
and he was quite disorientated, his gums and tongue had a bluish tinge to
them. As it was on a Sunday, I didn't quite know what to do, because, by
the time I got to see a vet, I am sure he would have died. But I remembered
that I had bought one of the cooling rugs from you a little while ago, so
I quickly soaked it and put it on him and I laid him down. I am just so
pleased to say within a matter of 10 or so minutes, he was panting normally
and his gums and tongue had returned to their normal colour. As that was
well over a month ago now, I am very pleased to say that he is still with
us. If and when it ever happens again to any of our dogs, I will definitely
not hesitate in using your cooling rugs, as I am absolutely certain in my
mind that it did save my dear old dog's life that day.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,
-Marilyn Adams
I purchased a K9 cooling vest early this year, and have
used it this season at the coursing, not only on my dogs, but also on 2
other runners. Both of the trainers that I lent the rug to were very impressed.
I am looking forward to using it again this summer, as I believe it (Cool
Champions t K9 Cooling Vest) is an important asset to any trainer.
I would like to order another royal blue rug.
Thanks in advance,

I just want to say thanks on behalf of my two Pet Greyhounds. The difference your Cool Champions K9 Cooling Vests have made is remarkable. What really freaked me out was to see both of them laying on the concrete pavers in the sun sound asleep in 30 degrees (C) [86 degrees F] heat!(see photo)

"I have seen many fads over the years and was a bit
skeptical at first. Because I live in Queensland and the humidity is so
high, I decided to try the Coolweave greyhound rugs for my dogs.
This is a remarkable product for the Australian climate. The dogs are extremely
contented and lay down for hours keeping cool, despite our high temperatures.
The rugs also give the added advantages of protecting them from flies as
well as UV rays. They are simple to use and the rugs stay cool for the whole
day.
Any serious trainer or owner of horses and greyhounds needs this for their
animals. I am extremely impressed. These cooling vests are sensational."

Last night I took [my dog] Skye for her herding lesson.
It was 6pm and still quite warm. Skye showed no interest in the sheep no
matter what the trainer tried. I was ready to give up and drive the hour
and half home. Then I ask if we could try her in the cool vest.
What a difference. She took out after the sheep and finished her lesson.
The trainer and people watching were amazed at the difference and remarked
that she was like a different dog with the vest on.
... I was so thrilled with difference your vest made I had to tell you.
