Arf Pets Dog Cooling Mat - Solid Gel Self-Cool Pad | Durable & Non-Toxic

I didn’t believe the hype until I saw it for myself. Our puppy is black, high energy, and Missouri summer humidity and heat is no joke. I got this help get her cooking relief quicker than laying on tile. This pulls the heat right out and you instantly feel the cooling sensation. She quickly figured out the benefits of laying on and it truly works, and she loves it. Molly is a medium-large 7 month lab mix who weighs about 42 lbs. and the size is perfect. Even when we get a bit overheated when working in the heat it feels great to lay on. Highly recommend. Made well, easy to wipe clean, no weird odors.

I bought one back in the summer for my senior tripawed dog who is pretty furry. She needed something to help cool her down during the humid New England summer days but that didn't get her wet (she was recovering from amputation). So, I went looking for a cooling gel mat. I found this one. It took her a week to get used to it. At first she would just walk around the mat. But once I sat on it, called her over, and handed her a few treats after laying down, she took and immediate liking to it. She constantly sprawls out on it. So, I also got one for my car since we do a lot of car rides. And I just purchased this one so that it's my "travel" one.Some things that I think folks should know- It is kinda slippery. While my tripawed puppy doesn't have much trouble on it, it can sometimes take a second for her to get back up and off the mat. She's a front leg amputee. I have the mat on an area with carpet so she'll sorta go to the edge and then stand up.- While it does cool and cool for a while, after about an hour the spot can get pretty toasty. My dog will move around on the mat on her own. But if your dog doesn't, it becomes a heating pad. Though it doesn't take long to cool off, again.- They're heavy. While that's not a problem for me to move them around, it might be for someone else.The two mats I've bought before have held up really well to wear and tear. But my dogs also don't go trying to nibble on it. Occasionally they will "dig" but that's like once a week for a minute.I'm extraordinarily happy with these mats and definitely recommend them to folks.

This mat is so nice!! Our dog gets so hot outside in summer and he will come in and lay on the mat and it takes no time for him to cool off. My only complaint it that it is a little thin and my dogs toe nails tore a whole in it the first day.

I ordered the X-Large for my 130 lb. Newfoundland mix and he LOVES it !!! With this triple digit summer heat & humidity, it’s the first place he goes to after being outside. We’ve had it for 2 months & I am seriously impressed with this Cool Mat & wish I’d found it sooner !!! I did notice that the cloth edging has started coming off with wear, but it doesn’t affect the cooling gel inside, so I still give it 5 stars. It makes My “ Bear” happy - and so am I !!!!

I have 2 Blue Merle Great Danes that will both turn 8 years old the beginning of July 2017. My male named Memphis is 265 lbs and my Female named Cheyenne is 255 lbs which is mostly muscle on both of them. I have always had an issue keeping Memphis cool in the summer time as he is naturally a Hot dog while Cheyenne gets cooler quicker. As they have gotten up there in age I was looking for something that would give them some relief form the summer months here on the Gulf Coast in Texas where temps regularly hit 100 degrees with a "Real Feel" of 105-115. I decided to spend the money and try one of these large 55x36 pads to put on my males bed under a sheet to see how it worked. Honestly I can't believe how wonderful these are! After only one night of sleeping on this on top of his mattress and under a sheet the difference was night and day! For the first time since we rescued him at 1 year old not only does he actually cool off but the inside of his mouth is cool as well as his ears. With all older big dogs you can expect a little joint swelling and such just as a natural part of life. After one night sleeping on this he was running around like a 3-4 year old dog with minimal pain. This pad also dramatically reduced any swelling he had from normal wear and such. Even those Fatty little nodules that he gets started to reduce in size immediately. Memphis absolutely loves this pad and will not get on his bed unless it is there now. For the first time in a long time he is so comfortable that he sleeps all the way through the night without waking up once. I have never seen him so at ease. He has never been a complaining dog and always pushes forward but it actually brought tears to my eyes to see him pain free and in full on Memphis mode again. Before this purchase I was worried about him making it through the summer this year, After buying this I am sure he will be with us for years to come. It worked so well that I bought a second one for my female. She loves it after sunbathing on the deck as it cools her off almost instantly. The pad is extremely durable and I find that it lasts cooling for close to 4 hours. If Memphis starts to get hot we just change out the pad with the second one I purchased. We take the heated up pad and lay it on the tile here in the house, with in 20-30 minutes it is Ice cold again and ready for use. The pad wipes clean easily and stands up to the massive claws of both of my Danes without puncturing. The only improvement I would suggest to the designers is to give the cooling pad some more of a texture to the outside so it won't be as slippery. Memphis and Cheyenne both are able to get on the pads and get situated but they both are very cautious when walking on them due to lack of a textured surface. Immediately after writing this review I am purchasing 2 more just to make sure that if they need them we have them as summer is already getting hot. I cannot thank the maker of these pads enough for giving my Babies the relief and comfort they both deserve.

Ok, I'm going to be straight with you about this product.1. EFFECTIVENESS. My dog loves it! He will ALWAYS lay on the mat when we are upstairs and going to bed. I don't think it stays cool for the 3 hours the company claims, though. More like an hour before he will move due to the heat, but he will always return after it cools down again.2. DURABILITY. I think the durability of the mat is its biggest issue. If you have read some of the other reviews, it does rip very easily. I have bought 3 of these cooling mats for my dog and each and everyone of them rip within the week. The material does not hold up well against the normal movement of a dog rolling over and readjusting during sleep. The company should really look into finding a stronger material. It isn't worth the $70 they charge.3. CLEANING AND PORTABILITY. The mat is easily folded up and transported. Also very easy to clean. Just wipe or hose it down.4. OVERALL. If you have a dog that has trouble staying cool, or you have a lot of carpet in your home, this is definitely a must have. I have a 100 lbs. American Bulldog, and he is always hot. Even with the dozens (literally dozens) of little rips in the mat, it is still effective at keeping my dog cool. I've purchased many cooling mats before, and this one seems to be head and shoulders above the rest. Which is probably why they can charge $70 for a mat that will rip the first time your dog uses it. If the material was a little stronger or the price was a few dollars cheaper, there would be no competition with this mat.

Great product! Pet-friendly, looks great, is a good weight, nice size, easy to use, and if it gets warm, turn it over or put it away for 15 - 20 minutes, then they can use it again. It honestly is that easy. My dog loves it when he gets hot! He tore the edging loose; nothing else was affected, the mat itself was still intact, so if there is a way to make that edging more secure, that would be "most excellent!" I find the thickness nice, offering a bit of padding, but we put it on our futon. It is stable on surfaces like the floor, a pet kennel, or a futon. My medium-sized dog is 54 lbs; I get size 27"L x 43"W x 1"Th, and he has plenty of room to stretch out and cool off.

My Doberman, who never seems bothered by heat, hit a wall this summer. Panting, pacing, flopping off his plush bed like, “I’m DONE.” So I got him this Arf Pets Cooling Mat—and let me tell you, it’s been a lifesaver (for both of us).Real Talk:He’s picky. Like, “sniff it for 5 minutes before deciding if it’s worthy” picky. But the moment he rolled onto this cooling mat? He stayed there. For hours. No water, no freezing, no setup—just instant relief.Cooling Performance:It’s pressure-activated, so the second he lays down, the chill kicks in. Stays cool for a few hours, resets on its own when he gets up. No damp spots, no weird smells. It just works—quietly and consistently.Perfect Companion to His Plush Bed:He still loves his cozy, cushy bed, but when he gets overheated and flops off onto the floor? This cooling mat is right there. Now he alternates between the two like he’s running his own spa rotation. 🐾🛏️❄️Material & Size:The 27” x 43” size is ideal—gives him space to stretch out but still fits neatly next to his regular bed or inside the crate. Durable, wipe-clean surface that doesn’t crinkle loudly or slip. And it holds up great, even when he does that little pre-nap spin and dig routine.Travel-Friendly:We take it in the car, on patio days, even to vet visits. It folds up easily and weighs next to nothing, so it’s become part of our summer essentials.Value:For the price? Absolutely worth it. Especially when I see how much more relaxed he is. No more restlessly shifting around trying to cool off. Just calm, chilled-out Doberman vibes.Verdict:This summer has been brutal, and this mat is the cool-down he didn’t know he needed. If your pup is struggling with the heat—even if they usually don’t—this is the fix.

Definitely keeps our puppy cool, and she loves to lay on it on hot days. She isn’t usually much of a scratcher or digger, but for some reason she loves trying to dig this mat. So far the cover has held up well (you can see some discolouration where she has scratched, but no ripping or tearing!). Overall very happy with this product!Update- we have now had this mat for 10months and it continues to be our puppy’s favourite place to take a nap! She absolutely loves this mat, and it has held up very well for the amount of use it has gotten- It is a little misshapen from a battle with our Roomba, but no rips or tears. Definitely worth the money in our opinion!

We got this as our dog has never dealt well with the heat, despite being a kelpie, and now she is old we thought we'd look into what was available.Once it arrived, she was not certain about it at first, but a couple of weeks in and for the rest of summer she would sleep on it everytime, day or night.The funny thing is, summer came and went, we are in the depths of winter and even on cold nights, she still seems to like it! We have carpet everywhere, there is even actual sheep skins if she wants (and sometimes she does) but often enough she still chooses the cooling mat!That's probabaly all I need to say really.

My dogs love this mat!We got this mat for our 120lb Alaskan Malamute. She doesn’t sleep in bed with us because she gets to hot, so she sleeps on the hardwood beside us. We wanted to get her something to cushion her joints but everything keeps her to warm. We found this mat and it was perfect!When we first got it, we actually thought it would be thicker, but we put it down where our malamute sleeps and she took to it immediately. When walking on it in bare feet you can feel how cool it is on your skin, and despite the thinness of it, the gel is VERY comfortable. It’s perfect!Now I find our golden retriever sleeping on it too so I will be picking up a second mat in the near future but for now the mat is actually big enough for both dogs (120lb malamute and 90lb golden retriever) to sleep together on it.I read complaints about the material being thin and holes were easily punctured. I’m not sure how that happened, because the material has held up great for me. We do get our dogs nails cut and dremmeled on a regular basis, possibly once a month, but that’s part of having a dog, keeping up with the grooming. :)I don’t believe that the mat will rip or be punctured if that is the case.

Good product. Easy to clean. it is not too cold, but effective. no break.

This and comfortable, retains cooling. Durable fabric. I originally purchased one and now have three of these! I keep mine in the fridge and switch them out for my pup's crate when I go to work. I have no AC in my apartment. My pup lies on them when it is extra hot out. They fold easily, and the gel is in smaller compartments which makes it easier to handle. They are so easy to clean. Love!
