Canine Cooler Bed

I live in the desert and my dogs needed an escape from the heat, even indoors. I bought two pads at a great price, and the dogs loved them. They would lie on them all the time, and they seemed to help them cool off. However, after only two months, both mats split in similar places near the seams. It certainly seems like a design defect. I was immensely disappointed, and not interested in shipping them back for the warranty as the cost to ship was not worth it. Would have been happy if they had actually survived more than two months (I also had the pad that was actually rated for more than my dogs' weight.)On a good note, the Amazon associated store did a great job in getting them out to me in only two days when I paid for standard shiping.

I highly recommend this product, especially if you live in hot/humid weather. Our dog sleeps on it every night and since using it, her elbow callouses have disappeared. She used to sleep in the tile or wood floor to keep cool but now sleeps only on the Canine Cooler mat.The initial set-up - filling it with water and removing the excess air seemed a bit complicated at first but it was actually fairly easy.Every dog should have one of these...highly recommended!

This bed is great for my dog with arthritis. It also keeps her cool in the summer.

my dog wont go on it, great idea though

After reading the mixed reviews on this item, I bought it anyway because I figured it was really the only way to find out if I liked it or not. I was really excited to see how it would work for my hot dog of an English bully. It worked absolutely great for two and a half days- that is when my dog decided that the red plug-thing that holds in the water looked too much like a dog toy. Thank god I already have a dehumidifier to suck up the two gallons of water out of my carpet :) Those two days weren't long enough to know anything about the seams, like other reviewers complained about.Anybody on the fence about buying this, like I was: IF your dog NEVER chews on anything (haha) and will have ample supervision...this might work great for you! Otherwise, it is a total crap-shoot.

I rated it 3 stars, because it is cooler than say vinyl flooring, but it doesn't offer that much relief. If you want to get an idea of what it's like, put a piece of 1 inch foam in a zip lock bag and saturate the foam with water. Close the bag and lay it on the floor. That's basically what the bed is. It is cooler than other surfaces, but my dogs gave it a mediocre response. They would rather lay on the tile or laminate floor.I would shop around. I got mine out-of-season on clearance at a pet store chain.

No problems with mine at all. My pups love these!I also tried the Cool Bed II, but it's much more flimsy, and tends to bunch up. I ordered two more of this Canine Cooler, so I can keep two upstairs and two downstairs!I also used it at an agility trial and it helped keep them cool.I wish I'd bought one a few years ago!Years later.... I had to throw these away, they cracked and no longer held water. What is better is the Cool Bed III, those are holding up!

Living in Arizona, staying cool is a big concern of mine. Not just for me, but for my pug. I was SO excited when I discovered the "Canine Cooler" and even more so when I saw how much my pug enjoyed it. The Canine Cooler worked great for approximately 2 years until one day it ripped...ALONG THE SEAM! I was SO disappointed, as was my pug, and to make matters worse, I am NOT the only person this has happened to. So, you may want to re-consider before spending your hard-earned money on a product with a design flaw.
