    Abstract: Animal health and wellbeing is of significance to our society, whether the animal is wild or domesticated. Many humans have practiced methods to secure animal interests in both their natural habitats and in modern day society/homes. The presented device is designed around these principles for the wellbeing and humane treatment of the animal, while it is being caged, crated, and/or kenneled. The invention is a portable unit that may be added/attached universally to the outside of any cage, crate, kennel or specialized porous animal pad, and provide air conditioning for the animal within the enclosure. The invention is powered by either a DC or AC supply, so it may be used in the home and on the road. The complete device conceived as “Kool Kennel” and/or “Kool Kushion”, consists of a thermoelectric Peltier Module used for cooling and/or heating the ambient air “The KK Module” along with various air diffusers to connect the regulated air to the animal crate or pad.
