Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We have a 4 month old bernese mountain dog pup who had begun sleeping in the master bath once he learned the tile floor was cooler overnight than his kennel, which is in our room and where we prefer him to sleep. It had gotten to the point where we had to close the bath if we wanted him to spend time with us, and then he would then paw sadly at the door. We got this cooling pad to put in his kennel and now it is his favorite spot upstairs again. We can leave the bathroom door open and he chooses the cooling pad every time. I think that is sign enough to say it is effective and liked by the dog. It is worth noting that when we tried putting it on the floor not in his kennel he saw it as a pee pad, but he is still a pup so who can blame him, thankfully it was very easy to clean after that accident. UPDATE: It has been four months, Theodore is now 8 months and 80+ lbs (and still growing!) and this mat is still his favorite place to sleep. he has chewed off the fabric at the edges, but the gel didn't leek and it still keeps him cool nicely.
