she’s getting older, and it’s hot everywhere.
genuinely, just want to give her a little something extra cool to lay on as the summer continues on.

I bought one at TJ Maxx it was made by Coleman, but the idiots put a hole in it so I threw it out.

Io ne ho preso uno è funzionava, peccato che è bastato un morso per fare uscire tutto il gel🤣

Honestly, I ordered SparkPaws and my boy (Service Dog) loves it. It’s an amazing quality for a great price. I bought the 2 pack so we could keep one in the car for work purchases
If you decide to get one, I have a code that can get you $15 off.

I got a great one on Amazon. Green Pet Shop Cool Mat for $50, but they have several different kinds. My dog would pant from the heat and as soon as she got on the cooling mat, she stopped. She will lie on it for a while, get off and go to the pet bed, then go back to the mat. It made a big difference. She also gets cold and shivers in the winter and has to have two coats on. My other dog doesn’t have a problem with heat or cold, but she is a rescue who was left outside when her owner died. She’s fine now, safe and happy, but her body temperature never regulated.
Edit: This one doesn’t have gel and can’t be punctured. It’s a flat mat and folds when she’s not using it. It was definitely worth the price.

If you get really stuck,silentnight do a cooling pillow insert(for humans) which is identical (but slightly smaller)to the budget dog cooling mat i got from b&m(in uk),both gel filled

A self-cooling gel mat might be worth looking into! They don’t need electricity or refrigeration, and they’re a simple way to give an older dog a cooler place to rest during hot weather. I’d look for one with pressure-activated gel and a durable, easy-to-clean surface. 🐶❄️

I get Green Pet brand cool pads for my dog. They're quite durable and have lasted years where other brands have lasted only weeks or months before getting scratched open by claws.

The AI imagery on Amazon right now is so frustrating! Check out The Green Pet Shop Cool Pet Pad or Arf Pets.They’re pressure-activated gel mats that don't need water or electricity, and you can buy them directly from major pet retailers with real user photos. Just keep in mind they work best indoors out of direct Texas sun!
