Some people living in hot climates get a heavily furred dog
just because they like the look and feel of a fluffy puppy. However, as the dog
grows up, gets heavier and furrier, it starts to fall ill because it can no longer
cool itself by sticking out its tongue and panting alone. The only possible way
to keep such pets cool is to keep them indoors when you have the aircon cranked
on. For folks that aren’t home during the day, this leads to huge energy bills
that unfortunately cannot be avoided without getting the beloved pet ill or
dead.
However, this little known company called MRT Corp., has
come with a new kind of air conditioned dog house that promises to keep a dog
cool during sweltering summers without you having to leave the aircon on
through the day.
The Japanese company
claims that the dog house comes fitted Peltier elements that connect to aluminum
(Al) plate on its floor. This allows the dog house to remain as much as 10-15°C
cooler than the temperature of the room it is placed in. This allows your furry
dog to crawl into his home and remain cool even when you have turned the home
aircon off.
The same dog house can also be used during the winters when
the same mechanism will allow the dog house to remain 15-20°C warmer than the
room temperature which means that you would be able to turn the home’s heating
off when you are at work during the day. The unique dog house has a product
life of at least 18,000 hours and retails for approximately USD507 though you might
have to check current exchange rates and shipping costs to your region to get a
more exact price.
