We just got the pad today. My dogs love it. I was not sure they would want to sit on it but they sat on it with me and happily laid down. I bought the large for my small dogs and it’s great that it works even for my Yorkie.
My Maltipoo has seizures and the heat exerbates it– this pad is probably a life saver for him. Thank you for inventing this for our dogs.

I live the cooling pad. I first saw it a year ago. I have an aging lab (12) who loves to lay on it after she has been running around with my younger lab.. My younger guy just loves to lay on it. They both get hot after romping around.

I purchased two of the Crazy Warm pet pads and my dog loves them. My dog is 16yrs old and never seemed satisfied with her bed. Once I brought this Crazy Warm Pet Pad she became content and settled down.
I discarded all of the other beds she had as results of the first purchase I went back and purchase the second Crazy Warm Pet Pad . She sleep on both, one during the day and the other at night. This has been the best purchase for my Katie and plan to purchase one for my granddaughters dog..

This is an amazing product. My dog absolutely loves it. I bought my 1st one from PetSmart. Decided to buy another for upstairs right from this website.
This year I bought two more for gifts. Highly recommended.

This cooling pad is the greatest, I’m ordering another one. I’ve stolen the pad one too many times at night from my dog – this pad is great for menopausal ladies too!

I never do ratings or reviews but this one is worth talking about .
We camp a lot and my chi s love to be outside even when it is hot they love it for a good cool down only problem is I only bought one and they don’t share so I will be getting 2 more lol

I very rarely write a product review, but this pad just deserves it. Bought this at my local PetSmart (in Canada) yesterday for my 11 year old black lab who is not liking the warmth anymore.
He loves it already. I was sceptical, but it really works. This will keep him comfortable throughout the summer. Thank you for such a great product.

My fur babies would always wonder around the house once it was time to go to sleep at night. Since purchasing “The Crazy Warm Pet Pad” all (3) dogs no longer get up in the middle of the night. They sleep well and now I have uninterrupted sleep myself! Not 100% sure how it works, but it works.
Now it is time to wash it, and I don’t want to wash the “magic” out of it, so need washing instructions.

I bought this pad for my dachshund because of the calming effect. She is a rescue as are both of her doxie house mates but Kenzie is very skittish and shy.
She loves this mat and shares it with her girlfriend Layla. She also seems more calm and brave. I am definitely going to buy one more if not two!
Miranda
I recently purchased the green and orange bowls for my Boxer. They arrived promptly and efficiently packed. The colors are vibrant and they seem to be very durable.
I am so happy I found something that will last and as someone who is trying to live a more eco-friendly lifestyle, I could not have found a better product or company!
