Cool K9
CoolCop

CoolK9 keeps the kennel area cool (or warm) by directing a portion of the vehicle's air conditioning to a K-9’s kennel, enclosure, or dog crate. Studies have shown CoolK9 keeps the rear area of a police car at least 10 degress cooler.

The device snaps into the air conditioning vent of a Ford Crown Victoria, Chevy Impala, or any car or truck with 2.5-inch vents. The kennel vent attachment is installed with zip-ties to any screen, vent, or door. CoolK9 comes with 6 feet of hose and is easily disconnected by squeezing the dash cup spring clip.

Hot-n-Pop Pro
AceK9

Thought to be a necessity by many K-9 handlers, the Hot-n-Pop Pro from AceK9 combines two useful tools in one device. It monitors the temperature in your K-9’s vehicle enclosure, alerting you when it’s too “hot” and allows you to remotely “pop” open the door to release the dog from the vehicle when you need his immediate assistance.

The Hot-n-Pop Pro has many redundant features so that if one part of the system fails to work, another part will continue operation. Two separate temperature sensors monitor the inside temperature. To ensure your K-9 remains cool, several different alarms signal a dangerously hot car. These include an S.O.S. horn honk that honks out S.O.S. in Morse code, siren activation, and lightbar activation.

The door-popping function of the device allows an officer to release a dog with the push of a button. It both unlocks and unlatches the door at once. The door will not release while the car is in motion, however, protecting the K-9 from an accidental release.

R.E.S.C.U.E.
American Aluminum Accessories

The R.E.S.C.U.E. electronic door opening system allows an officer to open the vehicle door and release a K-9 from the vehicle by remote transmitter.

The new and improved R.E.S.C.U.E. system includes a key ring-type two-button transmitter and a hand-held two-button transmitter, designed to be worn on a utility belt with Velcro-Fastened pouch.

The system transmitters will lock or unlock the vehicle doors and open the designated door for the K-9 Partner to exit on demand.

Included in the system are an external mount receiving antenna, multi-channel receiving or sending unit, a lighted on/off toggle switch, actuator motor with mounting brackets, all necessary wiring and cables, easy clip wiring connectors, connecting apparatus, and gas cylinders with mounting brackets. Free technical assistance is also available. The company also offers CoolGuard to monitor temperatures inside a vehicle.

Doggles ILS

Doggles ILS (Interchangeable Lens System) is a pair of goggles designed for dogs that offers a deeper lens cup, very flexible frame, and wider nose bridge.

Very popular with the military working dogs stationed in Iraq to protect their eyes from sand, these doggles also offer 100% UV protection and shatterproof, anti-fog lenses.

The basic model is a black frame with smoke lens. It fits 50- to 90-pound dogs. Other sizes are available by special order.
