Dog Cooling Pad Dog Cooling Products Hydro Cooling Mat 4 Pack for X-Large Dogs

TL;DR My puppy would get fussy when it was time to sleep and when I pull this out, she's sleeping within a minute. I love that the cooling technology is water and ice.Pros:- stays cool a moderate amount of time- you can order the ice refill to keep more on hand or replace (and they're relatively cheap)- seems durable- more comfortable than the floorCons- ice inserts take up a bit of room in the freezer- would be nice if it could somehow stay cooler longer or freeze faster- my puppy is now spoiled and will not sleep on anything elseEdit/note about plastic inserts breaking: I originally had the mats in my side-by-side fridge/freezer and had to fold them for them to fit. I had some breakage. But nos I've put the ice mats in my chest freezer and froze them flat, I have had ZERO breakage!Long version: my newish puppy would find cool spots on our laminate to fall asleep on. After a few minutes, she'd get up and find a new spot because it wasn't cold anymore. She would grumble to herself as she got up and plopped to a new spot. She found out that our bathroom tile is nice and cool and would take naps there, but we wanted her to be out in the main room with us.I found other products that used gel cooling technology that claimed to be nontoxic, but after reading scary reviews of dogs eating it and having neurological reactions, I quickly looked for something safer. I stumbled upon this and ordered it immediately.After using it for several days, my puppy is now spoiled and won't sleep on anything else. She will literally grumble/whine and wander around when she wants to take a nap until I get it out. I don't mind spoiling her though. It's nice when it's bedtime for both her and us humans because I can get it out and she will plop down on it and be asleep within minutes.It stays cool for a reasonable amount of time. I haven't timed it, but I'd say it's about 3 or 4 hours.She has tried chewing it and I try to catch her and stop her when she does. As of yet, she hasn't chewed through it. She also sometimes scratches it a bunch before she lies down. No tears either.I'm pretty satisfied. I ordered the double, because she's going to be a big dog, but for now, just the one works. (She's about 25lbs)I also ordered more inserts to be able to have more frozen ones on hand. I know they priced way past their cost, but they are still reasonably cheap.

My goal was to be able to have my dog stay with me under my tent at an outdoor craft market in 90 degree heat. This bed was EVERYTHING I had hoped! When I touched the mat, it was very cool - comfortably so - and stayed cool for about 2 hours. When I touched my dog’s belly, it was nice chilled! I bought 2 replacement ice mats so that I could switch them out, and they worked like a charm. I kept the other frozen mats in a soft, insulated cooler (like from Sam’s club), and it worked great. There was absolutely no panting, and I’m just so thrilled that I can have my baby join me on hot Saturdays and stay as cool as a cucumber. I put this mat in her stroller.

There is a freezer sheet that comes out to put in the freezer. The color is nice. The pads work well in hot climates. Very good to take in the car carrier when you live in Texas.

These mats were excellent for my cats in the extreme Arizona heat this summer. The cover is constructed of heavy duty fabric with reinforced edges that help the pads to keep their shape over time and also reduces the chance of tearing. I like both of the insulation pads included that help to keep them cold longer. These mats also have a cool touch to them when used near my air conditioner even without ice inside.But I don't like the included "ice cube sheet". It takes up a lot of room in my freezer but doesn't stay frozen or cold for more than an hour. So instead, I purchased other soft blue ice packs that stay frozen longer. These worked well with the mats to keep my cats cool for several hours. And my cats enjoy laying on the mats whether the temperature is hot or cold. I think these may work in the winter to keep them cozy with a hot water bottle inside. Another bonus with these is they cover and protect a large portion of my sofa. I highly recommend these!

I have tried many of the gel cooling mats as well as different cooling coats/fans before this. I don't know why I hadn't heard of the Coolerdog sooner- it would have saved me a lot of money! It feels and looks durable, dries quickly after being hand wiped of any mud/dirt from the day and while it does get some condensation buildup my dog does not come out of crate wet. The ice packs are easy to fold and Tetris into a cooler so you always have frozen ones throughout your trial day. 65# long coated heat intolerant dog. 2 pack mat fits great in XL ruffland and fits snug but fine in 36" wire/softside crate. 8 total ice packs to alternate through worked well for an outdoor 80ish degree crate from vehicle hunt test day.Cons: Only thing I can come up with is I don't love the snap together system. Not enough of a gap for a foot to get stuck or anything but doesn't stay together well when pulling it out of crate. The Velcro holds strong but the edges are, as expected, already getting packed with hair.Fun tip: a single mat fits perfectly on a standard chair for sitting on ringside in the summer!

Cooling effect by freezing the water pack is not suitable for humid country like Singapore. Not viable as there is lot of condensation on the bed (pic). Otherwise quality is not bad, slight cooling effect with the water pads but not cooler than my marble floor. Sad as i really wanted it to work for my furkid. Manufacturer should also consider to make it bigger, as the size is awkward for typical mid size dog (getting 2 would be odd and too big).
