Extra Large Crufts 110 X 70CM PET DOG CAT SELF COOLING MAT MATTRESS HEAT RELIEF NON-TOXIC BEDDING

I Don't have a dog I use this under my sheet on my bed to keep cool on summer nights

OK first a disclaimer, this mat only arrived lunchtime. Our Lurcher came back to discover it and hasn't moved all afternoon, see picture. For reference 2 year old around 24kg. Just the right size for him and I think he likes it.

Unfortunately this mat lasted approximately 45 seconds before there was a small tear. My dog did not chew it and is not destructive, I have repaired the mat and it seems okay, however I believe the gel may be toxic to dogs and as such the material is poor.

Firstly, the size of this mat (I bought the extra large) is amazing. I've struggled to find really generous cool mats for my labradors but this really did the trick.The gel inside is really cool too so work brilliantly to help cool my dogs.However, the gel inside is very slippery underfoot so my dogs would it very difficult/unpleasant to talk over, you just slide. Particularly dangerous for my elderly girl when trying to stand up.I also found that the material of the mat itself is really fragile, within a few hours of pretty light use there was already a significant rip in it, which even with superglue and duct tape can't be saved.I have since bought All For Paws cool mats which are all round a much better quality product.

Says non toxic in description, but the back of the box says the contents may be harmful if swallowed. Do not allow children or pets to play with it. No where on the box does it say non toxic. When I opened up the folded bed there was a small packet of silica gel inside. There was no warning of this and this can cause gastrointestinal upset in dogs if swallowed. I was not expecting this to be inside a pet bed. My dog developed a rash all over her tummy after trying the bed. She had to have treatment for this.

Great size and good quality, however only took 1 of my dogs 5mins the shred it so not hard wearing and don't know if it would have kept the dogs cool oh well back to drawing board

The mat is very easy to clean and the dog loves it always lies on it just to keep cool even when it isn't hot. This is the second one we have bought but this one is more durable than the last one we bought which wasn't a crufts mat.

I was sceptical these were any use,but the dogs were suffering in the recent heatwave so I gave it a go.what can I say absolutely brilliant,once they'd figured out it cooled them down ,wherever it was put they were there straight away.just about big enough for an adult sprocker and a 5mth old cocker pup.
