"The last cooling mat that I had for my 16 year old dog got shrunken-up so it didn't lay flat under him anymore. It was time for a new one, but the stores around here only carry them in the summer...it's now winter... Someone recommended Chewy.com I am sure glad they did!! Not only was this mat less ..."

"It doesn't really keep cool for long and it's not as thick as other cooling beds. It's not the same size as a standard crate so it doesn't fit well. Since it is so thin, it does not stay cool for more than 1/2 hour. It's ok, but not great."

Bottom Line

If you are looking for a budget-friendly cooling bed for your pet, this could be a decent choice, but be prepared for potential durability issues and limited cooling time.
