New RTIC Tumbler

Yeti won a lawsuit against RTIC earlier this year and RTIC had a fire sale on Tuesday. Just delivered to my front door and have it filled with ice and bourbon for a test (just an excuse).

They're a great company. Located a few miles away. The owner is in my dog group.

how does RTIC compare to Yeti. I always assumed they were a "wal-mart" brand but perhaps that assumption is false?

RTIC is half the price and keeps things cooler longer.
Yeti is a great product but RTIC does a better job for much less.
(Personal opinion and observations from owning both products)

Not a Walmart brand. Their quality is just as top notch. I love all my rtic items.

GSD from Von-Den-Wolfen Kennels in Germany. His initial trainer was Thomas Lapp.

I own both a yeti and RTIC cooler. Both are great but my $ goes to RTIC.

Thank you! I've got 3 K9's. The one in the pic is Jet from Kelly Creek Kennels. Sire is Czech and mother is DDR, both from Eurosport in CZ. He's a protection dog. We train him continuously at Paramount K9. The other 2 are females, a CZ 8 year old and a female we adopted from Mission K9 Rescue. She's a one year old retired CWD EDD dog that came out of Kuwait.

Back on topic: I keep my water cold all day with an RTIC tumbler.

Just curious, how does your German Shepherds handle the TX weather? I had a bull mastiff and he loved being outdoors during the winter but didn't like being outside in the summers.

My dogs are all indoor dogs. They love AC! With very warm weather, we only work and train in the early mornings. We only go for walks early mornings or evenings after 8. ( heat from asphalt is bad for their paws) The heat in summer means keeping an eye out to make sure they don't get overheated but all the stuff mentioned above usually means they aren't stressed by heat.

These dogs are all on raw diets, live inside the house and live better than a lot of humans. I am religious about their care... they are family. : )

I should've bought a few cups, but I was all caught up on the coolers!

I bought a half dozen to give away to my customers and some to give away to those who refer folks my way.

All with free 1 day shipping!!
