  My yellow lab loves this bed and so do I! I have bought various types of beds for the past 6 years and this is by far the best. Hannah has always been a very warm bodied dog and all of her old beds would make her sweat and make me crazy trying to keep them clean and odor free. This one is perfect - no more sweating and she loves to lay on it. I would recommend purchasing a sheet as well! Thanks for keeping us cool in Sunny South Florida!
  
  

• great soft cool bed for my 12 year old lab

  I live in southwest FL. and have a 12 year old lab that was raised in the north. He has arthritis and the hard tile floor is hard for him to flop down upon. I bought the Cool Bed III. He hates new things so it took a few weeks for him to go to the bed on his own.( he can not walk steps and my husband built him a ramp and it took him awhile for him to use it on his own ,a very wary dog) He always stayed for a while after I helped him go to the bed. Now he uses it all the time.
  
  

• Really cool!

  I was skeptical about this bed, but it really is cool to lay on! A bit messy to fill (put lots of towels under it when filling), but you only have to do it once. Unfortunately my dog still prefers sleeping in the bath tub, but I would definitely recommend this bed!

  The dogs' votes are in and they love the bed and it hasn't even been filled with water yet! Once the true summer temperatures arrive, I want a little extra relief available. The quality of the bed is excellent and I can tell it will last a good long time. There are a total of 4 dogs in the house ranging from 25 to 45 lbs. So, the large bed was a must! So far, there's room for the ones that want it. When the temperatures get up in the 100's, I may just have to get another one (for me!) ;-) Heartily Recommend.

  My 14 year old golden retriever (who can't stand the heat) loves this bed! I found it hard to believe that it would work, but it's great. Shadow say's, "Two paws up!".
  
  
• Watch out for creative puppies

  I have an 8 month old Lab pup who is usually too warm during the day. He slept on the bathroom tile before we got this bed a week ago. He was gradually using the Cool Bed more and more.
  
  Then, he thought it would be amusing to pull the stopper out. He put his head under the corner of the bed, found the tab, removed the stopper, and let loose about a gallon of water. Fortunately, I was home at the time and heard the sound.
  
  I called the manufacturer and they are sending a new stopper for free. Apparently this doesn't happen often. After putting everything back in place, we will probably put Bitter Apple or Bitter Yuck on the stopper.
  
  One other note on this bed. The instructions say "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." That is tedious on the large bed. Instead, I used a metal broom handle laid flat to get the air out. You don't need to apply much pressure, and you catch all of the air in a couple of sweeps. It's far faster than using your hands.
  
  
• Cool bed gave instant relief!

  We bought the large Cool Bed lll K&H Large Cool Bed 3 for our almost 11 year old labrador retriever. He was having respiratory difficulty, frequent rapid panting, and subsequently was diagnosed with laryngeal paralysis LP). I would wake at night and hear him panting. He was clearly uncomfortable, standing, panting, constantly repositioning himself in his old bed or on the wood floor. The first night we set up the Cool Bed and ever since, he has slept through the night. Hot weather is always the worst for LP, and the Cool Bed has allowed him to be comfortable through the summer and has delayed his need for surgery. This water bed made such a difference that a week later we order the medium size Cool Bed for our 16 1/2 year old Terrier/cockapoo X. He has arthritis and old age breathing, snoring, and coughing issues at night. We do not usually rave about or believe in anything that suggests a "quick fix" - but, honestly, I have not been awakened by our little canine hacking or coughing since sleeping on his Cool Bed. And, though blind and going deaf, he still runs up and down the stairs like a puppy!
  
  These beds were easy to set up. We filled a bucket with the recommended amount of water, and used a funnel to gradually pour it into the bed. I set a towel under the spout. Use your hand to run it through the bed as you add it. The most challenging part for me was turning it over, but if you roll it as suggested in the instructions, it wasn't too difficult. I did go back and order the fitted sheets for the beds - and, in the future would order them at the same time as the bed. I think that they are more comfortable and sanitary for the dogs. If I had any suggestions for the product, it would be to include one fitted sheet with the bed. Overall, great bed; it really does help a dog with arthritis, aging bones, and respiratory issues! I was tempted to curl up on the large one myself!
  
  
• not too bad
  By A2DC9XP9DDDQOO on 2008-08-09
  My dogs use it which makes me happy. It isn't too cold but I think that's b/c the water I used, wasn't cold either (hard to find cold tap water in AZ during the months of July and August.) I will empty it and re-fill it in Oct. when I can get some good cold water in it and see if that makes a difference. I like it though.

  Set up is a little bit of a hassle, but simply put, both of my Newfoundlands LOVE their cool bed and that is all I care about!!!!
  
  
• Can't teach an old dog
  By A2R0WCZCVFDUKB on 2008-08-16
  Filled it with 8 gallons of water and waited for my dog to swoon over the new coolness and comfort of a water bed. She has been on it about 4 times (in about a month), but still prefers the tile floor in the kitchen. I wonder if I put it in the middle of the kitchen floor? I think not.
