Best Cooling Mat
-
So cool
This is fantastic for the summer. Nice for us too! I'll stand on it if I need a quick cool down. Our corgi will sleep on it.
-
Nice option to offer my Persians in hot weather
Cats are absolutely attracted to these mats when the temperature rises. Easy to wipe clean and easy to store in off season.
-
Perfect for camping
Just used for our second camping season. Was perfect both summers, providing a cool spot for her to lay on a hot afternoon! Worth the cost if you want your pup to be comfortable in hot weather.
Best Dog Cooling Vest
-
cooling vest
This fit our boy just about perfectly. Just wet it, wring most of the water out, and put it on them. After being outside in Oklahoma's 105-degree heat for a bit, his back and chest were cool to the touch. It works as long as it is damp. I don't recommend going out in that heat for any length of time with a dog but with this vest it is possible.
-
Works well
This vest is simple to get ready to use, easy to put on my dog, and cools well. It is also attactive.
-
bEST PURCHASE!
5 plus stars! Spirit loves the vest. It keeps him cool during his walk and cools him down after his walk. Easy to wear and take care of the material Best purchase ever! I have suggested it to my daughter for her training class.
Best Dog Cooling Bandana
-
cooling dog bandana
truly worth every penny, the Canada Pooch cooling dog bandana helps my pup survive the hot, humid days in Jersey and is still able to enjoy long walks
-
Love these cooling bandanas !
I love that these cooling bsndanas snap ! The small fit my 19 pound dog papaya perfectly . Just wet , wring and wear! The brand is a bit pricy but these are worth it. Bought the cooling popsicle vest also Hot in California and we have no air conditioning. These work well to cool my dog off.
-
My dog loves his bandana all you do is get it wet and it starts cooling the water itself if you put it in the freezer with I definitely recommend you just need to loosen it up and put it on and it’ll keep a good cool temp and it never gets too cold I love the surprise of the smiley faces
Best Cooling Dog Bed
-
Dogs LOVE it!
My dogs love this bed and use it as soon as I get it laid down! It's easy to clean and maintain too.
-
The Best
I bought this for my son's dog. He loves it. My son and daughter in law love it too. It got Bodhi out of their bed and into his own comfy, cool bed.
-
My Dog LOVES It
Got this bed for my 8 year old Belgian Malinois and she loves it!! Super comfy and the material is nice.
Best Elevated Dog Bed
-
Quality
This elevated bed has held up well. Its been moderately used inside and outside. Now outside in kennel and my dog uses it more than the dog house.
-
Should have bought this a long time ago
I like its looks I like the chocolate color. I like that it's lightweight easy to assemble easy to disassemble. Easy to clean under. And best of all my dog loves it,!
-
Well-made and the dogs love them
I was surprised that both my "country" dogs hopped right on these beds and stayed there! I think it's better on their joints and I know they'll appreciate them in the summer heat. The beds were quick and easy to assemble and look very well-made. I have big dogs and, so far, I see no sign of any bowing or skewing.
Best Dog Pool
-
so far so good
holds shape well even when empty. dogs haven't ripped it with their claws. I did put a pad underneath it since it's sitting on a brick patio.
-
Functions.
It’s great. I didn’t need one this big. My dogs love rivers and lakes but they were hesitant about the pool. I put my camp chair in and then the dogs follow me in. I should have gotten half the size. Easy to clean and put away.
-
Dog Pool is Perfect !
Easy fold out pool & filled with water hose & took like 15 mins & had hours of fun every day all summer with dogs & kiddos ! Best money spent all year !
Best Dog Water Bottle
-
The best!
Love this for hiking and have tried a couple different bottles. Super sturdy and the lid is the perfect size to get a drink. Highly recommend!!
-
Best dog water bottle I have ever used.
Big capacity and cup is big enough for dog to drink easily. The stainless steel interior is much more durable than plastic and easier to clean. Love this bottle!
-
Best thing since Sliced Bread!
We live in a suburb of Phoenix & this is the best! The stainless steel interior with ice & water keeps my pup's water cold for hours. The design is awesome! Every time she drinks water, everyone wants to know where I got it. Then I get to boast about Chewy & their World Class service.
Best Dog Water Bowl
-
Perfect bowl for my dog and me.
The depth and weight of this bowl is terrific for feeding my 75 pound Pittie. Also, and just as important, the non-skid bottom is most helpful. It keeps my boy from having to "chase" his bowl around and me from having to hold it still for him.
-
Perfect
Exactly what I wanted. Beautiful, easy to clean, doesn’t move around (though I also have it on a silicone mat). Our new giant labradoodle rescue pup loves it.
-
Very nice bowl
Ordered 2 of these for my daughter's dog, they are great quality and perfect size for a medium size pup (35-40 lbs). Love the non-skid feature and cleaning is a breeze!
Best Dog Water Fountain
-
LOVE IT! Have had one for 10+ years
I have had this same fountain for over 10 years. I just bought a second one for another area of the house. My dog and cats all love it.
-
Great Product
This is my second one. I wanted two for when I’m traveling. Not easy to clean, but I like that they drink more water with the fountain.
-
This is the Best Fountain Ever!
I have had mine for close to 10 years - I bought it for my kitten, who has grown into a mature older man-cat, using the exact same fountain. I just replace the pumps when they die, as the body is very durable, the plastic is very scratch resistant, and with some patience and an array of good bottle brushes, I can scrub out all the nooks and crannies no problem. The cats love the fountain, and it makes a really nice splishy splashy noise in the background of my office that I miss when it's down for disassembling and cleaning. Excellent purchase, all around. Heartily recommend.
Best Frozen Treat for Dogs
-
How easy it was to make
My girls live this and peanut butter is their favorite! They get 2 spoon fulls every night. I even give this out at Christmas to my friends dogs.
-
Yummy!
Easy to make, dog loves it! Not recommending people eat it but did a little taste...just like peanut butter!
-
Literally makes my dog smile
I give this to my dog once or twice a year and she likes it so much she smiles and scrunches her nose up while she eats it. One of our dogs favorite treats for sure.
