Air conditioner for pets??

Hi there,

I'm wondering if there are any types of pet carriers or other portable unit (crate, pen, etc) that have either attached air-conditioning, or if something can be attached.

This would not be for constant use. My enclosed-bed pick-up truck is not air-conditioned (maybe a unit can be installed in the back canopy??). For the rare time that I might need to take a pet for an unexpected trip to a vet, I worry when it gets warm, and am looking for a solution that would not entail my having to sell my vehicle, or installing an a/c system "after-market" which I have discovered will cost me thousands (and presumable only installs the a/c to the front cab).

I was hoping that there may be something that is available to animal care professionals or rescue associations that I might look into, or if any car-savvy person can think of some alternatives.

Thanks,

Linda

The only thing I have found are pet carriers that have compartments with ice to keep the pet cool. Here are some other items I found that me be of value to you:

If you invent a small AC I know people who will buy it!

Most of the canine agility people in Texas use clip on fans for their dog crates and the backs of their trucks. This one is quite popular: http://www.dogtreatwarehouse.com/cacofan...

You can easily put a fan (powered by batteries) on the cage. What type of animal is this? If it is a rabbit then rub ice cubes on its ears.
