The Green Pet Shop Dog Mat, Extra Large – Pressure Activated Cooling Pad, (80 Plus Lb.) – Non-Toxic Gel, No Water or Electricity Needed for This XL Dog Mat

A Game Changer for My Golden Retriever!
I recently purchased The Green Pet Shop Dog Cooling Mat in size Large for my Golden Retriever, and it has been a game changer! Before getting this mat, my dog used to move from place to place at night, trying to stay cool. Now, he stays in his bed and sleeps through the night, completely relaxed.The pressure-activated cooling feature works perfectly. As soon as he lies down, the mat starts cooling, providing immediate comfort. The size is ideal for my large dog, giving him plenty of space to stretch out and enjoy the cooling effect.The mat is also incredibly easy to clean and store. It’s durable and well-made, withstanding the daily use and weight of my Golden Retriever without any issues. It’s also portable, which means I can take it with us when we travel, ensuring he stays comfortable no matter where we are.Overall, I highly recommend The Green Pet Shop Dog Cooling Mat for anyone with a dog that struggles with staying cool, especially during warmer months. It has made a huge difference in my dog’s comfort and quality of sleep. Worth every penny!

It works!
They DO work, as soon I took it out of the package that had been sitting in the mailbox for a few hours in 110 degree weather it was COOL to the touch!My cat immediately took to it the second I put it down, and loved it. And after 1-2 hours of my cat being on it, it did loose it’s coolness some and my cat became uninterested… so for a quicker reactivation, I just fold it up and stick it in the freezer for 5-10 minutes then put it back down, to which my cats becomes interested in it again, and it tends to stay cooler for longer when its been in the freezer. If it gets damp from being in the freezer, just wipe it down because cats don’t like to get wet.It is a little pricey, but the cool Gel technology is much more effective than “a cool material” like some of these other cooling mats.And if it helps my cat than that makes it even more worth it.

Great for personal use
I use this to keep myself cool! It works great. The coolness – without any refrigeration – is great.

Our “double-coat” dog has needed this for years, and now he has it!
I am naturally sceptical of advertiser & seller claims for products, but thought we’d give one of these a try for our 13-year old “Half-scale Otter Hound” mutt, who has the same double-thick, oily coat of Otter Hounds and many other water dogs. He’s always panting, particularly at night, and wanting to go outside several times a night, even in deep winter cold, to cool off, which is a pain for us, as he needs help getting back up the steps and into the house, due to arthritus. Additionally, he needs a soft dog bed to rest his painful joints, but the bed makes him heat up quickly, so he’s continually moving to the bed, to a cool, hard floor, struggling to get up, and panting all the time. We got this cooling mat about a month ago, and he avoided it for the first 2 days, then settled onto it sometimes, and seemed OK with it. Around the 4th day, I moved it to his dog bed, and WOW– what a change! No panting at all, he seeks it out every time he lays down, and obviously prefers it. Even more, he sleeps so much better, so that in the mornings, despite his tired, old joints giving him a lot of pain, he even RUNS around the yard, and RUNS to meet my wife when he wants to come back in. He plays more with our other 2 smaller dogs, and overall seems a LOT more comfortable and happy. The Green Pet Cooling Mat in his dog bed is HIS Spot, now, and he’s learned on his own to get off for about half an hour to let it “re-charge”, and then gets back on. I just now bought a 2nd mat of the same brand– We plan to either put it on the floor or in one of the other dogs’ beds— They used to rotate beds a few times during the night, although these days, nobody else gets “his” bed with the cooling mat. I have heard the other dogs “digging”/”scratching” the fabric the middle of their beds sometimes, just like he used to also do, and I think it’s an instinctual canine reactionj to being “too hot”, i.e., “digging down to cooler soil”, so we’ll see how this goes. If it goes well, we’ll probably order a Small cooling mat for our smallest dog. The mats seem quite durable, aren’t nearly as heavy as some make them out to be (my wife has severe spinal stenosis and bad arthritus, and she said to leave word in this review that she has no problem at all handling them. My only regret is that we didnt get some of these years ago. A very good product, and it seems well-made, to last a very long time!FOLLOW UP, about a week after I posted this item, above: We received the 2nd cooling mat, and right away put it in the “medium-size” dog bed, normally preferred by our 3-year old Corgie-Lab mix. She avoided it the first day, although our “big” dog that we bought the first cooling mat for, went for it right away, switching back and forth from each cooling mat-equipped bed, as needed. The 2nd night, our Corgie-Lab mix finally discovered what it was all about, and now, if not sleeping on one of our laps, prefers to sleeping on “her” mat atop “her” dog bed. So, now I have 2 dogs that love these cooling mats. Our “little” dog, a Jack Russell-Shi Tzu mix has a thin coat, and thus looses body heat easily, but I suspect as summer comes on (this is 13 May), we might buy a another mat sized for her, as well. Suffice to say that our dogs seem to really like this product, and I can heartily recommend it.P.S.: When the dogs go out to the back yard, to chase squirrels, bark at passing dogs, or do other “Dog Stuff”– I’ve learned that picking up each mat and holding it up vertically so that both sides get air helps cool it off quicker, so that even if they’re outside for just a few minutes, they return to a cold mat. The original mat we got for our “big” (actually only 85 lbs) dog is still large enough for him to sleep on half of it, then roll over to the “cold half” for more comfortable sleep. Although he has still panted for short periods, at night on it lately, mostly he just dozes off and snores for hours at a time– a refreshing change from having him panting and moving around restlessly all night before we got the mats. Some reviews of Dog Cooling Mats suggest putting the mat into the refrigerator, but I think that would be far too much cooling in a short time– these things are cold to the touch when you pick them up– and the object is to slowly draw off the dog’s body heat without over-cooling it, and they do that very well. We’re quite satisfied.

En tiempos de calor es bueno

Mi perrita siempre anda buscando cool spots y se duerme sobre esto. En el auto es maravilloso porque le da soporte y se mantiene fresca. No lo dejen en alAuto porque deja de funcionar. No es helado pero sí fresco y tengan cuidado que sus garras no lo penetren.
