Do you think this product would travel well? I want something to put on my dogs camping cot to keep him cool when we camp. Thank you!

Yes, I think it would. I has a seam where you could fold it, or you could roll it up, perhaps around a wrapping paper core.

Sure! It is flat and I am actually storing it now at the bottom of an empty suitcase. I say yes. Go for it.

I think it would travel well. I will probably make a simple pillow slip-type washable to protect it. I got the 16 x 12 small one; it came folded in half so only takes up 8 x 12 in refrig. Dog is not trusting of it yet, but I think she will figure it out soon.

Maybe if its a short ride. It is easy to transport but is basically a blanket made into a sleeping bag with a thin pillow attached. Like I said it pretty good for naptime but that's it. I would suggest a critter pillow neck pillow and a blanket. They have them online but I bought mine at Target. The kids love the animals and they are smaller so perfect for kids. The are useful to keep in the car too for when they fall asleep there.

Probably not so well if they do any clawing our scratching. That being said, we used one for years camping with our 60 lb dog walking across and sleeping on the bed with us. And we used it occasionally at home where our 3 cats laid on it. Ultimately it wore out (small tears at the seams) before the pets got to it. The mattress is well made...and keeping bedding on it may help protect it while in use.

Love my cages. I bought the pink and blue for my pups. Yes it would work well for traveling. Carrying easily.

Absolutely! We used ours at home & up at our ranch (while our pup was small). I would suggest having a towel to drape over top as it it netting & sun beating down on top might get pretty warm. Have fun!

I haven't tried it for that, but thanks for the idea; one of my dogs has both fear of thunder/fireworks and travel anxiety. It should work, it's based on the same principal - to provide snug physical contact during a situation causing anxiety. The question is "how much will it work?" I have found the thundershirt does not eliminate my dogs' thunder/fireworks fear, but does moderate it somewhat. Normally my dog is literally glued to my leg during thunder events. With the shirt, she still wants to be near me -- but she doesn't need to be in constant physical contact. I will try the shirt for short drives and see if it helps alleviate the fear. My dog crouches in fear on the floor of the backseat and has uncontrollable drooling. Based on the small success with storm events, I expect I might be able to get her to stop the drooling - still huddle on the floor, but not uncontrollably. Good luck.

Hello John,This is a heavy tarp; not appropriate for backpacking. I could see using it camping out of a car or truck. It is meant for outdoor use. It has a bit of an odor, that waterproofed canvas smell. It's a quality, heavy weight tarp. I play ice hockey and shoot into it for practice. It will take a fair bit of abuse. Good luck,Gary Schoepfel

I think this would be excellent for that! The tracking monitor does need to be held out level when you're actually using it to track so you probably wouldn't want to use it to continuously keep track of your dog as you hike, but it would be very easy to keep the monitor in your pack and pull it out if you lose sight of your dog and need to find her. You could even keep the monitor turned on in your pack and set it to alarm if your dog roams further from you than you would like.

Yes. I have it on my couch for my dog to lay on. She actually gets too cold sometimes. Great product.

I'm sure this would work when you travel - I have not gone anywhere to test it but it seems very durable. The only thing bad that happened with mine was that when I got it out for the spring/summer season a few days ago it seemed to have some mold on it from being folded in a closet. If it was mold, it must have been put away damp which was my fault. I washed it off with Lysol spray cleaner and it is fine.

Well, to be honest, it's a hard call. It's a large sleeping bag and perhaps if you rolled it tightly, it just might be able to tuck underneath the main pack. I would go to a camping place store, see if they have a similar sleeping bag and ask if you can roll it up. :) Then get it on Amazon.

The bed stays cool and you would be suprised on how much your dog will love this product. My Great Dane is very picky about where he sleeps, this dog bed was the only way I could get him off my bed. I suggest you try it out, if he is addement on still trying to sleep on the 500 thread count then you can get it fit on the bed itself by a tailor.

I didn't find the bag to be too hot. We overnighted at just above an 8,500ft summit in Southern California with windy conditions and it kept me warm. It's light weight material allows for good night sleep in most conditions. It should be comfortable to use in both situations.

It's really only warm on the top. For summer camping it should suffice. You could put another bag in it.

I probably never have my dog in a crate for that long, but from my exposure to the mat I would said it will not stay cold that long and it might well keep some of your dogs heat and pass it back to him. I am just not sure about that. Sorry!

It would though in its full configuration, it's pretty bulky. I would suggest strapping below the pag, along with a sleeping pad.

It'd be a snug fit I imagine lengthwise, and I'm not sure what that would do for the tents longevity though. I own the cot and the tent and if you want to use the tent on the cot be forewarned that the rain fly that comes with the tent does not hang over the sides of the cot, causing rain to pool onto the cot when it rains. Personally, I'd use the pad under the tent, as it was intended and use my Teton sleeping bag inside the tent.
