How the Cool Bed III Works

Unlike a fluffy dog bed that is designed to retain heat to keep a dog warm, the Cool Bed III is designed to radiate heat back into the air or the floor surface to keep a dog cool. The water-saturated Cool Core inside the Cool Bed III absorbs the dog’s natural body temperature of 102°F and coverts it to room temperature, which is normally well below the dog’s body temperature. The difference created between the room temperature and the dog’s body temperature is how the Cool Bed III provides a cooler, refreshing surface for your dog.

For example, even if it is 80°F in your house, the Cool Bed III is 22° cooler than a dog’s 102°F body temperature.

The Cool Bed III provides a permanent, natural, cool spot for your dog, inside or outside in temperatures under 100°F, without chemicals or electricity.

Care & Instructions

Cleaning or Storing

The surface can be cleaned using a damp towel or sponge and mild dish washing detergent. Do Not wash in a washing machine.

Grapefruit seed extract is an all natural, non-toxic antibacterial. Add it to the water when filling and place a few drops inside the bed before storing to help prevent bacterial growth.

How to Use the Cool Bed III

The best results will be obtained when used in a shady area. When using outdoors, always place the Cool Bed III in a shady, cool spot, as this will maximize its heat wicking abilities. Be sure not to place the bed on sharp objects that could puncture the Cool Bed III. Keeping the Cool Bed III indoors overnight near air conditioning will super cool the bed for outdoor use the next morning. When using indoors, be sure to place the Cool Bed III out of direct sunlight. The cooler the spot you place the Cool Bed III, the better. An ideal place would be a cool tile, linoleum or concrete floor. An area with good air movement will also help keep the bed cooler. You will soon figure out the best location for your new Cool Bed III, and your pet will love you for it!

Filling & Usage

Step 1

Remove the Cool Bed III from the box. Locate the filler cap on the bed and open it by grasping the base of the cap with one hand and the tab of the cap with the other. Pull the cap open.

Flatten the Cool Bed III and let it sit for a few a minutes to allow the cool core interior to retain its shape as all air has been removed for shipping.

Step 2

Place the Cool Bed III in the intended location with the cap side of the bed up for filling. Place a towel under the filler cap end of the bed to absorb any accidentally spilled water. Using a calibrated container with a pour spout, begin carefully filling the Cool Bed III with cool water.

The bed will take the following water quantities:

• Small: 1-1.5 gal
• Medium: 2-3 gal
• Large: 4-6 gal

Keep in mind, the more water used, the more cushioning and cooling capabilities the bed will have. You can experiment for the optimal feel of the Cool Bed III. Ultimately the recommended quantity of water for best cooling capabilities is as listed above.

Step 3

Now that you have your Cool Bed III filled, close the filler cap and begin to knead the bed to help work the water into the Cool Core.

Now pull open the air adjustment valve and gently work as much air out as you can, using sweeping motions across the Cool Bed III with your hands. Sweep the air towards the valve allowing the air to expel from the bed. Seal the valve when most of the air has been removed.

You will feel how comfortable the bed will be at this point. The bed should feel very soft and spongy and you should feel water squishing around inside the bed. Now decide if a little more water is desirable or if it’s just right for your pet. Add water if necessary, repeating the air removal process.

Note: A little air inside the bed will not affect the cooling capabilities of the Cool Bed III. If you choose, you may expel air as needed, though it's not necessary.

Moving

Do not lift or move the bed by its corners as this will cause the foam core interior to separate from the sides. Fold the bed and wrap each arm around either end of the bed to move.

Emptying

STEP 1: Open the filler cap.

STEP 2: Roll the bed from opposite end, expelling the water out of the cap. (much like rolling up a sleeping bag).

STEP 3: Store with filler cap open.
