A thing is attached to the dog's collar, when it gets too hot for him or her, a message is sent to the phone to inform them that it's too hot for the dog.
Very good invention.
That does sound like a really neat tool. I usually do not take my dog in the car if it is warm out because I always get nervous. However, there are times when I have to when we are heading up north or something. During these trips we usually stop at the restaurant to eat and I always get nervous that it is too hot for my puppy.
I have never heard of these cooling collars before. However, I don't know if it would be helpful to my dog at all. She seems to always be hot and panting. She has a lot of fur and we need to keep her trimmed short during the summer. There are times where I have to drench her in cold well water and she is still panting! Crazy dog.
