Don't dogs love warm water?

I guess it depends on where you live. Here in Queensland Australia summers can get very hot. I was a volunteer at the RSPCA and we gave the dogs large blocks of ice to lick on hot days and they loved them. My cat also loves his frobo.

You got me Tray. I didn't buy it for the dog I bought it for me!!!! I never liked eating cold cereal because the milk always got warm before I finished. This was only frozen bowl I could find (I only use the blue portion). Now I have to scrape the ice milk of the side of the bowl when I'm finished...................perfect!!!

My dog seems to love cool water, and I sometimes put ice cubes in heer water.

I used to put ice cubes in my dogs water bowl on really hot days. No need to do that now with the frobo dish, she loves it

No. The water stays pretty warm though. I use this in my salon. I am happy with it.

I haven't tried all hot water but do hook it to the garage sink and use hot/cold mix to bathe the dog with no problem.

My dogs don't like the nozzles either. I don't use them much and put cotton balls in their ears when I do. It seems to fix their fear of it.

Nope- no heating pad. I don't think a heating pad is needed though because my dog is very warm in there with its linings plus his favorite blanket.

I think your dog would enjoy this one. Even more if your dog loves water. My 2 puppies love this and even more today because of the snow outside. I would give it a try and if he turns his face away maybe put a little bit of peanut butter under it. Good luck!

Even though I have serious questions about one or two of what seems to me idiotic design flaws on this machine I would say the engineer is dumb but not stupid. They wouldn't be that stupid. Yes the warm water works fine. Even though the manual is too skimpy on explaining things, it appears to have a temperature sensor that adjusts the amounts of cold and hot that enters. Works great on mine.

Yes. There has to be a little movement in the water to distribute the warmer water. I have water plus some white vineger in my footbath which I change every 3 sessions. So i turn on the footbath, without bubbles, turn on the heat button, and in 10-15 minutes the water is hot-and if you leave the heater on, it gets really hot! I have a little place set up in my bathroom with a chair, towels, foot creams, clippers, reading glasses! I turn bath on, tidy up my house for the nite, and by that time it is nice and hot. Then I bring my book and a drink, and sit for an hour in the bath. If it cools too much, I turn heater back on for a bit. I had 2 other footbaths that did NOT heat up the water or keep it hot as was advertised. This does it all. Love it!

not an issue but some dogs can be a little intimidated by the sound and moving water; give them time and I suspect they'll come around; good luck

We go to the dog park once a week. Huskies in southern California get hot fast. They love water so we spray them down quite a bit. After I think 1.5 years there is no indication that there is anything wrong. Our last trip was today. Both unit still a little wet. I tried it on my leg at setting 85 of 120 and got the jolt. These are solid. Very happy with the quality and durability. If one or both needed to be replaced I would be the same ones again. NOTE: Water resistant and waterproof are not the same thing. I have not tried fully submerging either unut but both have been hit with significant water pressure. My personal opinion is that they would likely be ok with a short "dip". Take what you will from that. We go to the dog park once a week. Huskies in southern California get hot fast. They love water so we spray them down quite a bit.

The Chilly Mat works by the gel creating a lower temperature than your dog's body temperature, making it feel cool to them. It can also be placed in the refrigerator or freezer for a short time before your dog is going to use it. However, some dogs are sensitive to that much of a temperature change and may not like it super cold.

It does not require water, but my dogs like it mixed with water. They love it.

I have a couple of these in horse stalls with the cords put through a hole in the wall to the plugs outside. We're in our fifth season now and they are holding up well. I would think it would work fine outside if your animals don'tfool around with the plug or cord. I think the water heats to about 40 and I would guess that it would just heat more consistently to melt snow or sleet that might accumulate.I did an experiment a couple of weeks ago leaving a regular water trough and the heated one in the horse stalls. Neither animal drank the colder water but drank from the heated water.with all horses getting collect in the changing weather here in California, and dehydration perhaps being a contributing factor when the temperatures go from cold to hot, I think these are good investment. Good luck

Yes, in fact that's the way our dog likes it best. We just stir in a little really hot water and let it set for a little while.

It's like a reusable hand warmer.... I never used it tho, the snuggle pup is warm enough for my yorkie, it's the heartbeat that is the great thing. :)

Yes, hot water no prob. The tub is strong and sturdy. We use it for dog baths and many other things.

both of our dogs love the water. they jump in the pool with the collars on and so far we have had no problems with the collars. by the way, this is the second year that they have been doing this.
