This cooling mat really works. My dog now enjoys it in 90+ temps as we have a Swamp Cooler and not AC.Her other beds are too hot. Glad to have purchased it for her.

I ordered this in the 16" x 20" size for my long-haired cat. I chose the aqua blue with the balls on it. We have had some unusually hot weather this summer, much earlier in the summer than is normal for us. That seems to be the case everywhere.My cat took to this product right away. The top layer is a water-resistant nylon that feels very smooth and silky. The top layer also repels pet hair. The middle layer is the confusing layer. It is nylon with mica crystals added to the fabric. Many crystals have cooling properties, which help to absorb the pet's body heat and dissipate it down to the bottom layer. The cooling properties of crystals are not magic. It is just earth science. No, they are not like little air conditioners, but they do help with keeping the pet cool. The bottom layer looks like a layer of nylon mesh, as can be seen in my photos. The heat passes down to this layer and helps the pet's body heat pass on through, so that the pet feels cooler. My cat likes to lie on her regular bed, so I just put this on top of her bed. She loves it. If she doesn't like something, she gets up and moves until she finds somewhere comfortable.So, the top layer does not have to feel ice cold for it to cool the pet. I have taught science for years. This pet mat is a simple natural cooling mechanism...just like moisture-wicking clothing draws moisture away to help keep us more comfortable. All three layers of this pet mat work together to help cool a pet. Put it on a chair and sit on it to test it yourself.This product calls for hand wash or machine wash on gentle. Tumble dry low. You can use this product on the floor, on the pet's bed, in a crate, in a kennel, or even on the car seat.I would absolutely recommend this product to others. I would probably recommend sizing up one size. I can see now that once my cat stretches out, she could have probably used a size larger than I ordered. This product is a natural and simple method for keeping a pet comfortable. No mess; no fuss. 5 stars!

My puppy loves how cool it feels

I was a bit skeptical as to whether or not this would be cooling or if it was just not warm. It really does have a nice cool feel to it though.

I barely had time to take pictures for sizing purposes before my dog took this over. It is approximately 2' x 3'. I probably could have sized down due to pet size, but he has a tendency to move around while he sleeps. The picture is from the first time he laid down on this.While it has been hot here lately, we have not yet hit the height of summer heat, this appears to be good item to have for our dog.It is made in China.
