2manybikes, how much does the pad weigh when after it's been soaked? I have been eyeing one of these for my dog trailer but I keep thinking it would be REALLY heavy...of course I tow 55 lbs of dog so a few pounds wouldn't matter much..

I'll have to soak it and weight it. The one for Bailey would probably not be as big as one for a 55 lb dog. Bailey is only 29 lbs. maybe around twice as a soaking wet towel of the same size ?
This is the type I have, I think Bailey has the small one on this page 12" x 18". I don't see any weights. You could email and ask.

I'll post here after I soak Bailey's and weigh it.
