Cosmo Havanese keeps his cool with new waterproof tile slipcovers on his Chillspot cooling dog bed. We reviewed the Chillspot earlier this summer and love how it keeps Cosmo cool without having to submerge him in water! Though he loves a good splash as well!
Chillspot without tile slipcovers
The slipcovers stretch to fit around each tile and provide some extra traction which seems to make the surface even more comfy for Cosmo. We also noticed that some condensation will appear on the tile surface, especially in our humid Atlanta environment. The new slipcovers eliminate any moisture coming through, while still keeping Cosmo nice and chill.
We also like the choice of colors to help customize your look! Pictured here are the Seaspray tile covers, providing a nice complement to Cosmo's black and white fur coat. The slipcovers also are machine washable.
Chillspot and its accessories can be ordered online at Chillspot.biz.
Cosmo says, come on over and chill with us; there's plenty of room for more!
Chillspot provided us with the tile slipcovers to review. The opinions expressed herein are entirely mine and Cosmo's.
Cosmo is a hot dog. I'd been on the hunt for a bed to keep him cool on our deck during hot summer days for a long time. So when I heard about ChillSpot, a new cooling dog bed, I couldn't wait to try it out.
It turns out the inventors of ChillSpot live not too far from us in Atlanta. Mark and Ken were nice enough to give us a demo in person, but if you're looking for a cool bed, they've also made it super easy to order one online. You can also check out their video at the bottom of this post.

ChillSpot uses insulation and simple thermodynamics to replicate the feeling of a cool tile floor, no matter how hot the temperature.
Two ChillPods slide into each side of the ChillSpot
It comes with the grey insulated base, two ChillSpot tiles and four reusable ChillPods. I store the ChillPods in my freezer, and when Cosmo's ready for chillin', I simply slide them into the slots of each tile.

ChillSpot is 24" x 36" inches, big enough for a large dog or for several small dogs to share. At a total of 45 pounds, the weight concerned me at first. But each component (base, tiles and pods) weighs no more than 10 pounds, so I've been able to easily transport the ChillSpot throughout the house or in the back of my car.
Cosmo chills with Havanese pals
I took the Chillspot with us when we attended a recent Havanese playday. It was a sweltering hot day, and the pad provided some nice relief on a screened-in porch for Cosmo and his pals!

Cosmo also competes in performance dog events where keeping a cool head and body are super important! During the Lure Coursing event we attended this weekend, the ChillSpot provided the perfect place to cool off from 90 degree temperatures.

We give the ChillSpot a four paws up for its ingenious design and ability to keep my hot dog cool, even in the hottest conditions. The pods keep the ChillSpot cool for the entire day, then you can pop them in the freezer to cool overnight or purchase a spare set so you always have cool pods on hand.
Cosmo and I hope you have a chillin' summer!
