Arf Pets Self-Cooling Solid Gel Dog Crate Mat

Bandit is an Alaskan Malamute who is a 3 yr. old Rescue from N. CA, We were all burned out of N. Ca. after the 2018 "CAMPFIRE". We relocated to N.W. Texas in June or 2019. Heat was in 100's when we arrived. To help keep him cool inside I bought 2 of these. Pictures below worth a thousand words and say it all! I just ordered 2 new ones after 2 years use of the old ones! These are his favorite place to lay and keep cool. These work great! I highly recommend them and so does my Alaskan Malamute! How do you keep an Alaskan Malamute Cool in West central Texas?

This is absolutely the best product I have every purchased for my furry friend. He looks like a little sheltie Aussie mix but DNA test says he’s some crazy random 15 breeds. But he’s very fluffy always seems hot for years. I try and groom him regularly. I have the shave his belly so he can lay on the tile to cool. I have always felt so bad he was panting and hot fairly often. Well now we are senior on palliative care. On accident found some tumor that is fairly uncommon/abnormal and risky to operate. He has his good and bad days but he always wants to be on his mat. The gel adds some cushion. It’s heavy but colds up. I actually lay it at the foot of my bed and 90% of the time that’s where he This is absolutely the best product I have every purchased for my furry friend.

I take it to work and put in under my desk. And it definitely gets cold I rolled over on it one morning and yea got chilly. He was having a rough day the one I propped he’s head with the blankets. But he still wanted to be on the mat. If you have a long haired dog, double coated dog, a dog outside playing in heat a lot, a smooshie faced dog, or a senior pet. I highly recommend. Wish I got it years ago. He does have a cheap dog bed then and orthopedic bed and like my bed. He goes where the mat goes lol! Thank you to ever thought of these you only ever see warming beds and that’s the last thing we needed! GET YOUR PUP ONE … more

My 10 year old corgi/cattle dog mix started to claw at her pad while in her crate. She seemed to be hot and wanting to get to the cooler bottom tray. Tried different options but she still kept on clawing and keeping us up at night. We thought we'd try this to see if she might like the coolness and BINGO, she immediately stopped the clawing and seemed much happier and content. Such a great option for us!!

Had mat for under 1 month, Labrador retriever loved the mat, but as dogs do he pawed the mat and the material covering the gel layer tore and exposed the gel material.

So glad I ordered these mats. With 3 older dogs it helps keep them cooler on these warm summer days. Easy to clean, seem durable, they are heavy though so be aware of that. My only complaint is they are slick so my older dogs slide and fall easily, we have to be very aware when using these. Some kind of texture would be beneficial. I would definitely recommend them.

Only lasted 3 days before my 6 month old Aussie Doodle had it chewed up.. bought this to replace the standard plastic mat that came with her kennel. She has other chew toys in her kennel but I guess this tasted too good. Honestly don’t know what to do next.

Very cool and very heavy. My momma put a sheet over it so it was more comfy for me. She said I probably could have used a smaller than XL but it's great!! I.no.longer get up in the middle of the night to lay on the cool floor. I lub it!!!

I purchased 2 arf pets cool gel mats x large and BOTH do not cool. I personally sat on both with not a hint of cool. Chewy, I'm VERY desapponted and onto Cabela for quality products.!

I bought this for the upcoming heat wave in the PNW. It seems cool to the touch and it seems like it actually works. I think my GSD forgets about the mat when she's hot. One of my cats seem to like it though. It's worth having something when I don't have AC.

I have a 100lb dog that is very hot all the time. This mat works so well, we take it everywhere we go with him! After he lays on it for a little bit, his belly actually feels cool. He doesn’t radiate heat anymore! The mat is super easy to clean and travel with. Wish I bought it sooner!! For size reference, I bought the largest size!
