The Green Pet Shop Chillz Gel Mat, Large - Pressure-Activated Cooling Pad for Pets 25-50 lbs - Non-Toxic, No Water or Refrigeration Needed - Ideal for Home, Travel & Crates

Prefect on very hot days.

This is a remarkable product that provides hours of cooling for indoor environments and comfort to pets and humans alike! My cats and dog curl up together and no one fights, but I still recommend buying one for each pet and one for yourself. I love the pad for sore legs and muscles. Lay it on your couch and prop your legs up for instant even cooling relief, or lay the pad over your sore muscles, it works great! I do not recommend sleeping on the pad as the material does not breathe, and is intended for small to medium sized animals whose hair prevents covering the entire pad. The gel will eventually warm but cools again in a few minutes. This product will not work outside in the heat, so bring your pet inside when it is hot. My puppy chewed the corners but the product is still sealed. Laying on the pad will cause air to pocket in the corners as it is air tight, so he careful not to put too much stress on the seams. This is a great item and you'll be happy you bought it.

Less than impressed honestly. I live in Southern California, where it's hot as hell on the regular, and this summer, it has been in the 90s-100s pretty regularly. I have two pugs, and not only do they overheat easily with all of their rolls, one of them can't use her back legs and get water or cool off as easily as the other, so I figured this would be the perfect solution for her. I ended up ordering two because the sizes were funky. I ordered a large for our handicapped dog, and it fit perfectly in her dog bed (i don't know the dementions of the bed, but it's an XL dog bed, usually for large dogs). I noticed when I got it that the pad wasn't cold, or even mildly cool to the touch, so I attempted to put it in the freezer, which was a mistake; it expanded and I accidently broke a part of my freezer drawer (I'm not knocking a star off for that obviously, since it was my own mistake, but I want to make sure people know what will happen!). Overall, the pad still didn't seem cool once it thawed either. We normally have to put ice packs on our handicapped pug when she overheats, and I still find myself doing that just as often as before. We still keep it on her bed out of habit, since it also stops her from peeing into the dog bed, but it isn't cold in the slightest, so now it's really just an overpriced pee pad. I also purchased an XL pad because of the great reviews. Our other dog normally likes to cool down on the tile floor in our kitchen, but she is also old and can't go down the stairs to the kitchen, so I figured I'd keep it on the carpet. She seemed totally uninterested in the thing. I'd have to bribe her with treats just to sit on the mat, but that was the only time she'd go on it. I even put her water bowl on the mat, and she'd rather whine in front of the mat for water than to go over it to drink. I'm not sure if it's the texture of the mat on her nails or if she's just picky or just doesn't see the point, but she has zero interest in it. I attached a photo of her napping, and no matter how much I tried to get her to nap or even sit on the mat, she wanted nothing to do with it. So now I have these two pads that are basically a waste of money. I feel like if you live somewhere that's already cold, the mats will also be cold. But if you live anywhere that gets warmer than 70°, it's useless. Pretty disappointed, as our family was looking forward to finding some temperature relief for our dogs.

I bought this mat for our Blue Heeler because the Oklahoma summer heat gets to him. He like it at first but not for long. However, I tend to sleep hot so I slip it under my sheet to cool off before bed. Works great for me! Stays cold for about 15-20 minutes. I fold it up and after not using for about an hour, it will cool off again perfectly. It's comfortable for temporary use.

EDIT: After several months of use, this mat has failed. It got sliced open from the dog's nails, I assume, even though the nails are kept pretty smooth and short. The half of the mat with the cut dried out and lost it's cooling effect. Shortly before this, I tried washing off the mat with a damp rag and leaving it outside to dry for half a day in the shade with a breeze. Mildew somehow grew on the mat in that short period and I was never able to scrub it off. We threw it out. I don't think I'd purchase this again. Original Review: It really does feel cool for a pretty long period of time. My dogs don't seem really "drawn" to it, so I don't think they recognize an extreme benefit to the mat, however when I place it directly in their fave bed, they do seem to stay cooler for quite a while. I would be careful about stepping on it yourself, or if you have an extremely heavy dog, since when I stepped on it accidentaly, I could feel the gel inside kind of squashing out of place, and in other reviews people have said that the gel disintegrated or got chunky when the mat was stepped on. I don't think my 50 lb dogs harm it at all, but I could see a 100 lb+ dog possibly doing damage over time. The outer material seems pretty sturdy and we've had no scratches or tears over the couple weeks we've been using it. Overall a pretty nice mat for the purpose.

Muy bonito y eyos anda comodos

Good quality and works well

My dogs loved this mat. I have Keeshond and he is always hot. Then one of my dogs cut the mat and the gel came pouring out. Had to throw it away.

My dog had yet to use this pad and it was accidentally stepped on once by a person (no shoes). The one step ripped the pad open. Then with the vacuum released, the gel pad slid into a lump at one end and could not be flattened out again. I doubt it would have survived much use by my little dog, even with a sheet over the pad to protect it.

Good quality however it can be slippery on tiles.

Mi producto llego rasgado , me lo quedaré por que mi perro esta recien operado y lo necesito . Nimodo

No le gustó a mi perro, no la usa

Product is as described. Does get chilly. Only trouble is my dog won’t lay on it, but my 12 year old uses it to cool off.
