What a GREAT product for keeping dogs safe on hot days (Spring, Summer and Fall here in South Texas), I only wish I had thought of it first! After I saw how much our dogs enjoyed licking the ice to get to their treats I ordered a second one for the dogs we have to keep in separate areas! My only suggestion to someone who lives in an area where you have consecutive 90 degree plus days is to go ahead and order the kit mentioned in the box for an additional bucket, lid and post as it takes a couple of days to freeze the water in the bucket. dj
