Years later and my dog still seeks this out in the heat of the summer. Low profile. Works well. 5 stars easy

I got this mat for an aging pug with a bum ticker and a double fuzzy coat - he is hot all the time and often sleeps on our hardwood floor in the dimmest part of the house just to stay cool. I bought this mat to keep in a more communal area where he can actually see the rest of the family and socialize instead of removing himself to his "chamber" - so far he has used it a few times but it isn't something that he's gravitating to, nor do my other pugs with shorter hair seem that interested. Not sure if it's the cooling effect itself or the thinness of the mat or what - I can't exactly ask them - but they just haven't taken to it. When I do find one using it they seem comfortable enough so I'm not sure what the problem is. Size-wise it's good - my old guy can sprawl all the way out and have his whole body on the mat, and two of them can belly-sleep side by side and still be on the mat. (I have been blessed with overly large pugs, too - tall and heavy, about 28 lbs each, which is huge for the breed.) The mat definitely starts to cool right away; I can feel it when I step on it barefooted. Overall the product is good and works as intended , I apparently just have defective dogs who don't appreciate it. :/

Tldr: I recommend this for people without ac. It works perfectly as intended and probably better for humans. I'm able to sleep in the heat with this!Full review: Got this for my cats as a precaution for the summer weather but they actually seem to not need it which is good. I live in a camper and can't run my ac all the time yet. It gets hot around 4pm which is when im asleep cuz of my jobI don't run my ac while asleep and have been heating up at those times so one day I just laid on this and it worked like magic. It absorbed my body heat and cooled me down and I slept perfectly fine. When I wake up the mat is very warm because of how it works but I felt cool. I just let this lay flat on my RV couch when I'm not using it and about 20 mins later it'll be cool the touch* again like it advertisedI use this with my shirt off and just shorts on so I make skin contact. Doesn't work nearly as quickly or noticably with a clothing barrierThe mat is thin, slightly squishy because of the gel inside, the cover material is smooth and waterproof. Folds well because of how thin it is but I always just let mine lay on the couch. Because it's thin, soft, and smooth it's perfectly comfortable to sit or lay on(*The mat itself isn't cool. How it works is that it absorbs your body heat and makes you feel cooler as a result. If you want it to be actually colder, stick it in the fridge or freezer for a few hours. I don't feel the need to do that though, it functions perfectly as intended)

Lo compro para prevenir lo más posible el roce entre el piso y sus codos que le generan callos, que se mantenga frío es ideal para el ya que es cruza de husky y vivimos en clima cálido.

Definitely keeps our puppy cool, and she loves to lay on it on hot days. She isn’t usually much of a scratcher or digger, but for some reason she loves trying to dig this mat. So far the cover has held up well (you can see some discolouration where she has scratched, but no ripping or tearing!). Overall very happy with this product!Update- we have now had this mat for 10months and it continues to be our puppy’s favourite place to take a nap! She absolutely loves this mat, and it has held up very well for the amount of use it has gotten- It is a little misshapen from a battle with our Roomba, but no rips or tears. Definitely worth the money in our opinion!

This and comfortable, retains cooling. Durable fabric. I originally purchased one and now have three of these! I keep mine in the fridge and switch them out for my pup's crate when I go to work. I have no AC in my apartment. My pup lies on them when it is extra hot out. They fold easily, and the gel is in smaller compartments which makes it easier to handle. They are so easy to clean. Love!

We got this as our dog has never dealt well with the heat, despite being a kelpie, and now she is old we thought we'd look into what was available.Once it arrived, she was not certain about it at first, but a couple of weeks in and for the rest of summer she would sleep on it everytime, day or night.The funny thing is, summer came and went, we are in the depths of winter and even on cold nights, she still seems to like it! We have carpet everywhere, there is even actual sheep skins if she wants (and sometimes she does) but often enough she still chooses the cooling mat!That's probabaly all I need to say really.

I'm so glad that I took a chance on this cooling mat. We got a new puppy (lab/G. Shepherd mix) and she runs hot and pants laboriously while sleeping indoors even at 73 F. She doubled her weight in one month (14 lbs to 30 lbs) and she seems to literally feel growing pain while I swear she looks bigger by each day. Being used to purchasing warming cushy mats for my other two older dogs, I never thought I'd need a cooling mat for our indoor dogs.Since the puppy refuses to use any pad that retains heat including carpet, opting for cooler tile/wood floor, I removed the kennel mat from her metal crate that she sleeps in at night. She slept a bit more comfortably on the bare crate plastic lining, but my husband and couldn't sleep for a week with the noise from the lining thumping and rattling with even with the slightest puppy movements.I noticed this mat under Amazon's Today's Deals one day, and immediately placed the order thinking it was a divine sign. After placing the impulsive order, I checked the reviews and almost cancelled the order due to some of the negative reviews, but decided to give it a try to save our sleep trusting the Amazon's return policy. The mat arrived quickly and it was unexpectedly heavy (around 8 lbs), but also unexpectedly thin at not even a quarter inch thick! It was quite warm from sitting outside on my porch on a hot day and I initially thought I was taken for a ride, but the mat actually cooled down very noticeably within 15 minutes.This mat was the answer and it works miraculously! Its weight spread over the crate plastic lining eliminated the thumping and rattling noise of the metal crate, and our puppy slept most comfortably I've seen that night! Even more drastically, we actually slept through the night and my husband complimented me for finding the product in a relief.I only use this mat for night time confinement while crate training. It would be foolish to confine a dog with anything destroy-able in a crate while she's alert and awake during the day. The lining isn't a cheap plastic, but rather more like a sturdy sheeny nylon fabric material that wipes up well. Once our pup gets older and still needs cooling, I'll simply stack the cooling mat on top of another mat if she starts to prefer some cushion.The only thing I could suggest to the manufacturer is to offer the product in more decor-friendly colors than the screaming electric blue. Other than that, I highly recommend this mat for any pup that runs hot with high metabolic growth rate or environmentally overheated.
