Highlighted Reviews

β€” Patricia

""My very large female Ragdoll cat absolutely loves this bed. Just purchased a second one for my other female as it is a tight squeeze with both of these heafty ladies occupying the same space. Will definitely think about adding a third bed when my baby ragdoll boy reaches the the one year old mark.""

β€” Kathy

""My dog doesn’t want anything to do with it. She rather lay on cold title floor. It’s was a waste of $ for me""

Bottom Line

This bed works well as a bed, but not great as a cooling pad for cats and dogs. Best for pets that need a cool and comfortable place to rest, but wants superb quality.
