When Ma was at Global Pet Expo she met with The Green Pet Shop and snagged me a Cool Pet Pad. I
have been chillin' out ever since.
The Cool Pet Pad is a gel filled cooling pad that is weight
or pressure activated. All you need to
do is lie down on it and the gel starts its cooling action - no electricity, water or refrigeration required (though you
can super cool the pad in the refrigerator if you want it to last a bit
longer).
The cooling effect can last up to four hours if not
refrigerated first - if refrigerated, it can last up to 6 hours. The pad recharges automatically after a short
period of non-use at room temperature.
It is flexible and folds up easily so you can store it or
take it with you on an adventure. It is
pretty sturdy too and wipes clean with a damp
cloth. The gel inside is
non-toxic so if something should happen to the Cool Pet Pad, no harm will come
to a pet.
Chillin' on the Cool Pet Pad
Ma thought this would be a great product for those hot
summer months - actually year round here in South Florida. Imagine going for a walk or just hanging out
in your yard during the summer. You get
hot, right? And then you go inside and
try to find the coolest place in the whole house to lie down. Well, now you can just go find your Cool Pet
Pad, lie down and chill out.
I took mine outside with me.
Yes, I know a rest in the grass is cooling but I wanted to see if the
Cool Pet Pad would do the job too. It
did! Though outside in the heat the
cooling effect doesn't last as long as when it is set up inside.
The Cool Pet Pad fits inside both my crates as well. It provides a bit of extra cushion in the
crate while also keeping me cool.
The Cool Pet Pad comes in four different sizes: Small, Medium, Large and Extra-Large. Prices range from $24.99 (Small) to $84.99
(Extra-Large). The folks at The Green
Pet Shop say it should last for years. I
hope it does - that would be super cool!

Bailey's always trying to find the tile floors in this house when its hot so I think he'd enjoy one. Don't know if Katy would use it or not.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea and we know when it is very hot finding a cool place is not so easy. Nice one Oz. Have a fabulous Friday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Ooh, what a grreat idea!
ReplyDeleteWe really need one of these
ReplyDeleteLily & Edward
We have one of those cool pads, and it is big enuf two of us can lay on it, BUT for some stopppppid reason Mags and Gussie think it is a pee pad so momma always has to clean it off. Dummies!
ReplyDeletestella rose
Wow, I can see Torrey loving something like that.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, my pyrs would absolutely LOVE something like that! They are always searching for the coolest place to nap.
ReplyDeleteWow what a cool pet pad :-)
ReplyDeleteWE have TWO thingys (Different Brand) like this. We keep them in Jennifer Jeep from Spring to late Fall. OURS are now 3 years old and Still working GRRRREAAT. When we travel LONG ways... mom will put them in the COOLER with the ICE... while we are eating our LUNCH... and then they are all ready to go fur the remainder of the trip.
ReplyDeleteThey REALLY do work. In FACT mom actually put them each in a Pillow case beclaws we sometimes got TOO cool. Just sayin... Not a complaint... just sayin that they do work GRRRREAT.
I have one of those Oz! I keep mine on the sofa because without it the sofa gets too hot to nap on. You know a puffball like me is always looking for a cool spot to nap in. BOL!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

this looks so so helpful. we love to take piri out on outings but sometimes worry that it's too hot!
ReplyDeleteI bet my corgis would love that at an agility trial! At home, nothing beats the A/C vents on the floor!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea Oz and would sure make chillaxing easier!
ReplyDeleteWe bought a really expensive one of these fore reilly some years ago....he would not even sit on it !!!! Am thinking of getting one for Denny to try though :)
ReplyDeleteThat's really a wonderful thingy. We have one too what we used at the dog show last year. But I was to busy to lay down, so it cooled my paws and that was ok too :o)
ReplyDeleteThe mailman just arrived and brought me your package for the limerick contest. Thank you very much! My boys are thrilled with the Salmon biscuits! I've got to admit they really do smell tasty, although I don't think I'll do a taste-test ;-) Thanks again, your contest was fun!
ReplyDeleteTeach would love this. Being a black dog in the summer time he seeks shade where ever he can find it.
ReplyDeleteOz I think my mom needs one of those...wonder if they come in queen size. She is always saying she likes cold sheets
ReplyDeleteHugs and happy weekend my handsome buddy
Madi your bfff
Now that's a nice little summer treat.
ReplyDeleteAroo to you,
Sully
I have something similar, but Mom has to put water in it first. You always have the neatest stuff!
ReplyDelete-Mister
Now that would be a great pad to have for going to the summer obedience trials and fur camping in the warmer weather

Mr Bailey, Hazel & Greta
Oh wow!!!! I have never heard of that before!!! My huskies would just LOVE this during the summer!!!
ReplyDeleteღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
I think I might want one of those, Oz! What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteVery cool I have to say! I usually hop in my pool if it is too hot, sit in the shade or go in where the a/c is running but this is a cool idea. In FL it is always hot making it a great idea.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds awesome, and the company sounds great too. Sheba would love one of these to sleep on in the summer when it stays hot at night.
ReplyDeleteJan, Wag 'n Woof Pets
This would be great for car rides! (especially because my AC is broken...)
ReplyDeleteHow very pawesome!!
ReplyDeleteSmileys!
Dory, Jakey, Arty & Bilbo
What a fantastic idea! With our temperatures staying above 100 most summer days, it would be a miracle worker! I will definitely have to check into one.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome product, thanks for telling us about it.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about your place, but you'll have to leave that in the middle of the floor because that's always where I lay to cool off! Looks like a great product, they have ones for warmth why not cool ones? Great review! Love Dolly
ReplyDeleteGreat review and looks like a really cool product! I really wonder if it would hold up to the nails and weight of my big dogs. It would be nice to put something in their crates at hunt tests while we sit there all day waiting in the heat. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWow….dat look pawsome Oz my pal…I see if we can find wun in da UK for Lola...
ReplyDeleteThis would have come in handy yesterday! I was chillin by the pool (just a kiddie pool in the yard - the pink one) and Shiner was by me in the grass. I laid a towel down for her because I noticed some sugar ants on her, but she didn't want to lay on it anyways. Sounds like a neat product!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting product. Sounds like a great way to stay cool. :)
