does anyone have a cooling bed? Need reviews please

[Guardian Angel's White lightning]

Since titan has these enormous hygromas, we were told to get a cooling bed for him. Which would be perfect because it will also keep him cool (since he is always sitting by the door or on the kitchen floor looking for cool) But all of the ones that i have seen online are waterbeds...wh ich is fine, although does anyone have one that they reccommend? One that doesn't "pop" or "puncture"  We purchased an air bed that they claim doesn't puncture.....y eah..maybe my dogs should be testers for puncture resistance.... they don't even have nails and managed to puncture them!!!! Please let me know i need to buy today...4/3/08

I was looking on petfooddirect. They have those water cooling bed. But I don't know anything about how well they work. Another suggestion I had for you was a cot. Do you think they would work? It keeps them off a hard floor, air circulates around them to keep them cool.

I tried one of those water cooling beds for Tipper about 6 years ago. So, maybe they have been improved over time...but it ended up lasting less than one day, water leaked everywhere, and it was a big waste of money.

Cirra has had the Canine Cooler bed by Soothsoft.  She had a medium size when a puppy which she chewed - not the  bed's fault.  Then we got a large one because she had won a gift certificate in a photo contest. We had it outside in a screen room with a cover all last summer.  Cirra really liked it however it burst a seam in the Fall when we brought it inside. We have sent for a replacement at the company's expense.  They are plastic so need to out gas.  That has been our experience so far.

Cirra has a Kuranda bed which she likes and has held up great.  She is still on their website as a Dog of the Month - Spring 2006.  www.kuranda.co m  I remember we had a difficult time getting it together however I think they changed something regarding that.  I would buy another one.
