From Kate Johansson of Sit Means Sit - Dog Training for the Real World!
"We had our first HOT training days this weekend. I had the kool kollar on all my dogs and client's dogs during the 91' heat and we were running big, long, complicated field trial marks and blinds. Today we were doing cover drills through thick Scotch Broom which makes it even hotter for the dogs.
Everyone was so impressed with the difference it made having the melting ice around the dogs' necks. The dogs did not get as hot and they cooled down afterwards a lot faster. I want eight more for myself to keep loaded in the cooler for back up and everyone I know wants at least one. So, it looks like we need at least 30 of them... I am spreading the word with all my clients and friends."

I bought a couple KoolCollars for our two labs this past Jan.
Last weekend (2nd weekend of April) it was in the low 80's and the dogs were laying in the shade panting away so I dug the the collars and inserts out of the freezer (where they always are) and placed the collars on both our dogs.
Within minutes the panting quit and both were cooled down. They really do work and will be used through out the Summer.

"Thanks again Chad for the collars. I have already used them in several situations.
I am very impressed by your customer service.
A friend of mine turned me on to the collars, and they helped his dog with an overheating problem. He had a problem with one of the freezer tubes leaking and you met him at his job site to warranty the leaky tube, that is what convinced me to go with your product.
Thanks again"

"Heat stroke in warmer temperatures is a concern especially with working dogs. The benefit of external water (melting ice) and a cooling source (KoolCollar) can help aid in the cooling process.
KoolCollars can help aid with keeping your dog cool. Along with fresh drinking water, available shade and ones awareness of the temperature and the type of exercise the dog is undergoing.

"Dear Chad,
I would like to thank you for your donation of the four Kool Collars to our club the Port-Van Pointing Dog Club. As you know our club has been in existence for 32 years and we are a multi breed club. Our club is made up of English pointers, German shorthairs, wirehairs, Vizslas, Setters (English, Gordon & Irish) and a few other breeds. We hold a fun trial monthly and hold training seminars through out the year.
The reason that I am writing to you is to tell you about how the use of your Kool Collars helped the dogs in our club.
Last summer on a very warm day we were running our fun day field trial when we experienced a very scary event. We had two of our Gordon setters and two of our German wirehair pointers running in midday braces. One dog of each breed was wearing your Kool Collars and two were not. The two dogs wearing the collars finished the braces with good bird finds and in good condition even though it was very warm that day. The other two dogs did not fair as well. The German wirehair had to be carried from the field, cooled and given an IV by a Veterinarian who is a club member. The Gordon setter had to be cooled in a water trough. I truly believe that the difference was the use of your collars and I thank you very much for them. The 37 members of our club are sold on your product and we will continue to use them.
Thank you, John Lewis
VP Port-Van Pointing Dog Club"

Chad~
Every year my husband and I always go to the sportsman's show and it's always nice to see you and your business there. Kool Collar's are such a great and wonderful product that we own three...one for each dog. I've had Friends and family ask where we got them and I mentioned where. I think if you were to list your product in a hunting or outdoors magazine, I think you would find an winder range of clientele.
Overall, the product is great! We use the Kool Collars every summer and I know the dogs thank us for that:)
Your loyal customers,
Jennifer & Brian Handbury"

"Thank you for the collars. My heavy set lab is happier than ever. He cools down faster than ever with his new collar on. Before, I used to worry about him having a heat stroke. He's able to get more exercise now, due to being at a healthy temperature. Thanks again, and best of luck to you!!"
From C.Peterson Vancouver, Washington
"I'd like to report that I've been using KoolCollars with my Labrador Retrievers for several seasons now with excellent results. In the summertime, they are used to cool the dogs down during exercise, and, in the early fall hunting season when it's still hot out. The nylon collars are tough and the blue gel has stood up through numerous repeated refreezing cycles.

"I have been using Kool Collars on my three labs for a number of years now and find them to be an excellent product. I always have a supply in the freezer for the dogs on hot summer days. They also come in handy on warm early season upland hunts where the dogs may be active for many hours and heat stroke can be a serious problem.
I recommend them highly for both pet owners and hunters.

From Linda M.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you! We have been looking for something that really works to keep our dogs cool for a long time. We bought 3 of your cool collars at the Portland Sportsman show and they REALLY work!
We were not sure at first because we had tried those soak in water things before and they didn't work very good. The melting ice really makes our dogs happy to work in the heat.
Thank you! We're telling all of our friends."
From Velma Christianson, Phoenix Az.
"We purchased two of your KoolCollars, one for our Pug and one for French Bulldog. We also use the KoolTubes refills.
My husband and I retired 5 years ago and drive our RV from our home in Eugene, Oregon to a piece of property we purchased just outside of Phoenix, Arizona for the winters.
As you know, Pugs and Frenchies are very apt to get heat stroke. We use the freezer tubes while in our home in Eugene and inside the motorhome. We fill them with ice when we are outside in Az. and when we take the dogs on our golf cart.
These collars are a real God send. Our dogs love them and they have become quite the hit! All of our friends have ordered from you and just about every dog running around here is wearing a KoolCollar now!
Thank you and keep up the work, Godbless.
Velma, Robert, Yoshi and Gunner Christianson."
