over 1 year ago Tammy,Kimbler. I put my ripe tomatoes, the ones without unhealed cracks or bruises, in a box in a single layer, then set them on the floor in front of my air conditioning vent. It's just enough of a cooling effect to hold them a bit longer. If I want 4 or 5 days more, I put the box on the floor in the corner of the basement.
Dog Cooling Pads. These are gel-based and work by a chemical in the pad that absorbs the dogâs temperature and cools them down. The COOL PET PAD is weight or pressure activated. As soon as your 4 legged friend lies down the cooling effect starts. It will last up to 3-4 hours of constant use and will last for years.
Treatment consists of cool water (not cold water) bathes or rinses. If the water is too cold, or if ice is used to cool a heat stroke victim it can cause a decrease or loss of skin circulation, which can delay cooling. This should be done immediately for a few minutes and then the dog should be taken to the veterinarian's office or to an emergency veterinary clinic immediately.
