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.

Never write reviews, but this is worth it!
I never write reviews, and I never spend more than 20 dollars without thinking about it for a week (unless it's for my dog. Shes spoiled). However, i have been looking for something to keep my Berner cool during the summer. And she takes a while to warm up to things that are new to her. So I got it in April hoping she'll figure it out by summer. Plot twist, day 1 after laying on it for 5 minutes she figured it out. She loves it! She usually will lay 5 different places around the house, but she has defaulted to the cool pad 4 out of 5 times, with the exception of that one time being when I'm not near it (because Berners are clingy, but so am I with her so it works lol). I had a cheap one from somewhere else that busted, but she never liked it nearly as much, and it never got as cold. I debated getting the XL and I probably could have. I'm sure their whole body doesn't need to be on it, just their core.Also, I love cold stuff too, so I definately tested it. I put it on carpet and it felt like I was laying on a cold cement basement floor. Not sure how it works, I was definately skeptical. But If they made a couch of this stuff I'd buy it!

I do have dogs, who do use cooling pads (Bindos, RIP!), but their pads have to be pre-frozen, which isn’t always an option, due to freezer space. So I saw this on Facebook, and checked it out. I’m very suspicious about claims for cooling. I went so far as to read the patents. It seemed legit. So I ordered one large pad to test it. Then I got to thinking. When I’m driving, daily commute in Florida, or long road trips, my back gets REALLY hot. I had the dealership check my car, and they say the seat heater isn’t on. But it feels like it! So the day after I got the Cool Pet Pad, I decided to test it for myself, in the car! I folded it in half and dropped it down behind my back. Almost instant coldness! It was great for a couple short trips around town. Then I tested it on a 13 hour road trip. When I started to feel too warm, I dropped it down behind me. Nice and cool for several hours! Even after the cooling wore off, it still kept my back from overheating. Now I just keep it in the car, and it has settled into position and just stays there against the back of the driver’s seat. I guess the dogs are on their own- I’m never giving it up! Just kidding, I’ll be buying one for their big kennel. I’m a _little_ concerned about how well it will resist nails and digging, etc. I plan to get a cover for it. (Sorry for the bad photo- it’s in there straight and pretty now!)

I have an Old English Sheepdog puppy and he sleeps *hot* - so much so that he can’t even sleep comfortably on a crate mat and would move to the wooden floor. I installed this over his crate mat and he sleeps so happily in there now. He loves this cooling pad.
Sometimes when our heater is running a lot, I pop it into the freezer for 20 mins before bedtime, and I can tell he is so happy to go in there and spread out on it.
