FORGET MY DOG I'VE BEEN USING THIS FOR MYSELF!!!

I actually use this myself under my fitted sheet. Many people get hot when they sleep especially with the new foam mattresses. They don't tell you when you buy those mattresses that they will trap heat. I go this for my dog. But when I looked at those other expensive "cooling" mattress topppers and what they were made of it was the same as this mat which is safe for both humans and dogs. So I tried it and now I use it more than the dog!

I am sold. These work great indoors and in the shade.

I've only had it for a few hours and my kitty LOVES it. I plopped him on after I took it out while he was nosing in curiously. He just laid down on it and didn't move for a while. I bought this because it's been a brutal first summer for him, especially since he was born in late autumn. He huddles near the front door of our apartment to get some of the draft under the door when the AC isn't on. Also, when I apply pressure to it, it definitely is cooler than the floor and is a soft gelatinous material.

I have 2 of these in medium for my boy who's really bothered by heat, even in Winter. . I leave one in the fridge while he's using the other one. They're very sturdy especially when you consider how lightweight and slim they are. This is the second set I've purchased in 3 years. For what these pads do, the price is terrific. Such a small price to pay to make my pup so happy!

Bought this to cool down since its been pretty hot and she seems to love it. She lays on it a lot and likes to put her blanket there too. She usually likes to destroy stuff but has not tried to destroy this matt yet and we've had it for 2 weeks. I would say it's a great buy.

I have a 20lb huge and fluffy cat. Living in Arizona with our temps hitting 120 it's near impossible to keep the apartment cool enough. I needed something to help keep my cat cool. I put it in his favorite spot in the shade inside and he doesn't get off of it. If I move it around he moves to where I put it.It gets cool when pressure is applied. No issues with nails yet but I'll update if needed. He takes up the entire thing when he stretches out. I will be buying another.Note- my a/c went out for a bit last night and it cooled me off a bit too.

The pad arrived 4 days earlier than expected, in excellent shape - both contents and packaging. We showed it to our pup, put it in one of her "bed places", she sniffed it all over, then settled down on it as if it had always been there. She usually moves around to 3 or 4 different places in our bedroom at night, but now is spending most of the night on her cool pad, presumably because it is more comfortable than the carpeting. Highly recommend. Also recommend working for a few minutes with your dog to introduce it as a place to rest, so they don't think it's a toy. We let her sniff the pad, then patted it and told her "Night-Night" and stroked the bed a few times. She got on it and we praised her and the bed and then went to bed ourselves. All went well. Thanks to this company for a great product!

I bought this for an off label use to help with hot flashes and night sweats for myself. I got a medium one and I put it directly under my fitted sheet on the bed. So nice and cool. You can feel it pulling the heat from your body, but it's very comfortable on my bed. It will heat up with your body but just move around a bit and the gel moves and you get a cool spot again. Literally, this has revolutionized my sleep. I fall asleep faster and stay asleep because I'm cooler. I don't even have a dog but with it being summer at the moment, I do find my long haired cat laying on my side of the bed a lot more now so maybe she is getting relief too! I'm really happy with this purchase!

Bought and gave it to the dog to lay on. He went to it immediately laid on it and hasn't been back to the cool floor since. He goes straight to it, and when it got warm (talking TX heat here...) he was laying on it and was NOT panting as he normally would be about that time. He loves it! Even seems to be more stretched out on it than he normally would be on his bed. We put it on his orthopedic bed we bought here. He is happy furbaby!.

. Thanks.Wow these are really nice! Feel ice cold like a cold compress! Am probably going to try some body pillow cases as covers and see how that works. I will be ordering another for myself because I am a hot sleeper, it feels lovely!

GREAT GREAT PAD. In this pic, my 60 lb pitbull is sleeping in it. He loves it. When it's all unfolded, he can fit his whole body on it as you can see

Actually buyer/user.... wasn't paid to review..tl;dr: Good quality, great price for the large size. Definitely recommend.Was a bit skeptical of quality, since the price for the size was better than others advertised. But I am not disappointed. Pad is large -- easily fits my 60, 32" long big bulldog. Nylon cover is not too cheapy at all, and it does let you wipe off/rinse off spills. (I spilled my yogurt on my dog vying for window fan space. Cleaned right off). Suggestion: I use an over-sized pillow case as added protection and for when I use it from the frige.One note of advice: I first put it in the frige the night before the heatwave, to give my dog an extra-chilly bed area. Lol -- he did NOT like that! Too cold for him and he didn't trust it for 2 more days. I loved it though. lol.

This is a great bed topper or just a good pad on it's own for my large German Shepherd. She is 11 y/o and very slow and stiff and has an extremely thick coat of fur. Normally I would have her shaved and groomed for summer, but she can't travel now, so I can only brush her, and she gets very hot. I put this on her slightly raised bed, and she loves it. It is easy to clean, and now she doesn't dig a cool spot in my garden bed to lay in. She has a huge dog house with a covered patio, but now she chooses this bed up by the house in the shade when she is outside. She used to dip in the pool, but her hips are too bad to get in and out now, so she has a kiddie pool by this bed! Spoiled, but she's a gem! Great price for the quality!

I put the cooling mat on the sofa where she loves to rest. Figured it would take her a couple days to accept the mat in her territory. Was I ever wrong. I put the cooling mat on the sofa, she walked over and sniffed it. She made a couple of turns on the mat, laid down, curled up and slep for three hours. I was so excited. She has already learned to get off of it occasionally, it cools off, and back she goes to the mat. I�m going to buy her another one. That way she will have a cool mat all the time. Excellent product. By the way, my little dog is picky, and she had no hesitation to make the mat her�s. Thanks your for improving the quality of my babies life. ??

We just got this today and even though it was in a hot usps truck and then on my hot front stoop it was still cool immediately out of the box! My dog doesnt use dog beds because she likes the cool tile more but she is actually using this! I am hoping the light padding it gives will help her aging joints because lord knows the hard tile does not. I also like that the large size can be folded in half to use in the car.

I�m literally shocked at how well this product actually works! I have 3 dogs including a very hairy and thick coat Aussie and they all absolutely LOVE it! They have not stopped laying on it since I got it. And I tested it out myself and it is literally freezing cold to the touch without even needing to do anything! I�m thrilled that I don�t have to put this in the fridge or freezer for it to get cold. I�m very happy with my purchase and I would highly recommend for anyone with hot pets that need a good, easy, and instant way to cool down!

I love this mat and, more importantly, my Miniature Schnauzer loves it. I got this to take whenever we travel with her and when we're at my mother-in-law's house at the pool. My dog likes to lie under the wicker sofa outside while we swim, and if you have a Schnauzer, you know they do the famous Schnauzer Sprawl, where they stretch their back legs out when they lie down. At first, when I put it on the floor and asked her to get on it, she wasn't sure because "What's with the big blue thing, Mommy?" I coaxed her onto it and had her lie down. She agreed and then, when I told her good girl and she could go if she wanted, she stayed! I got the look of "Yeah, no, I'm good right here. Thanks!"This item really does stay much cooler than the surrounding air and she loves lying on it at the pool. We're on our way to the beach next week, and I'm sure she'll like having it in the shade at the pool there. There's no need to put this in the fridge, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to make it cooler more quickly. Great product and I'm very glad we have it. Also, it folds up much smaller than its full size, making it very easy to pack for the road.

Cassie Poo was able to try this out right after a 1 1/2 mile hike this morning here in Texas. I think her face says it all. I�ve had to coax her on it at first, then when she realized the coolness, she didn�t get off it for HOURS! Cassie Poo thanks you!

This mat worked perfectly for me. I actually bought it for myself because I am always very warm. Very happy with delivery, quality of the product is excellent. I don't know if anyone has ever bought this for the same reason I did, but I am very happy that did! Very well worth the price! I would definitely recommend this mat!

I got the large so both my small dogs can use it at the same time and it seems smaller than the dimensions listed, but both dogs still fit comfortably. The pad is also thicker than I had thought but the thickness makes it very comfortable. It wipes cleans easily and takes their scratching without any trouble. I noticed it takes a few minutes of their lying on it before it starts to feel cool but once it does it seems to last. They both enjoy sleeping on their bellies on the mat very much!

I bought this for my cat during the summer months.He seems to like it, and will lay on it when he feels is appropriate so I�m definitely happy there and got my money�s worth.However! The big kicker here is how much I love this thing! I have a foam mattress and have always tended to run hot while I sleep so I always wake up covered in sweat. This pad is nice and cool to the touch and the coolness doesn�t go away quickly. My boyfriend came over and immediately wanted one for himself.We are definitely going to go for the xl next time so we can spread it out on the bed but if you have a small-medium sized cat a medium sized mat is perfect.

My 130 pound rottie I adopted used to only want to lay on tile and hardwood because that's pretty much all he had ever known and he panted all the time. I got him this in hopes it would help him feel cooler and want to lay on his bed I bought him to give his aching joints a break from laying on hard surfaces all the time. He finally is falling in love with laying on softer surfaces and walking like he is less sore whenever he gets out off the bed thanks to this chilling mat. He loves it.
