Cooling Equipment
Cooling vests and bandanas help dogs avoid heat stroke in extreme temperatures.
Cooling Mats and Beds
Desert temperatures can reach 140 degrees Fahrenheit or more.
Cooling beds, cooling mats or elevated cots allow the dogs to sleep comfortably and avoid thermal injury from the hot sand.
Paw Protection
Ground temperatures and rough terrain can burn or cut the dogs' paws. Booties help avoid injuries and salve helps heal damaged pads.
Nose Protection
Salve helps heal chapped and scraped noses.
