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.
The best way to cool a dog down immediately is water. Water hose, bathtub, lake, stream, anything. Whatever is most readily available is the best option. At Derby Lane, a greyhound cool down pool is available for the hounds post-race. Run water over the dogâs legs, entire underside, neck, and top of the head. Avoid wetting the dogâs back unless youâre able to get out of direct sun immediately. Focus on the three most important areas until the dog has cooled down: the chest, between the back legs, and the top of the head.
