Best Cooling Mat
-
Works and is easy care
I have a golden retriever with a thick undercoat. She seeks this pad out when she comes in after chasing a ball and is panting to beat the band. After a few minutes of laying on it, she has cooled down enough to return to her normal activities.

Relief for our hot pup
After reading quite a few tips from people trying to cool their dogs on these extra hot days, we decided to purchase this cooling pad from Chewy. We added it to our Autoship and asked that it be sent then. By the next day, we had the pad on the floor and our very hot German Shepherd was lying on it. He doesn't use it as much as some people's pets, but he does seek it out when our house is really hot. We are so happy to give him some relief in our non airconditioned house.

Works in kennel
Bought for my cocker spaniel who just moved to Florida with me. It fits well in her kennel and she has not been able to destroy it. Today she had an accident in the kennel. The pad was easy to hose off outside and dried quickly. No residual odor was apparent.
Best Dog Cooling Vest
-
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.

We bought 2 of these this year. 1 for the new, big dog (3XL) and 1 for the little dog (XS). The little dog had one before but the velcro stopped working. It is really hot here in the summer and these things work well at keeping the dogs cool, but the velcro wears out sooner or later. We will probably be getting another one for the medium size dog as her velcro is wearing out too.

Works great
Ike suffers from the hot weather and this jacket helped keep him comfortable during these humid hot day this summer.
Best Dog Cooling Bandana
-
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
-
Keeps her cool
This cute smiley bandana really keeps my girl cool on our hot summer days. It's really easy to use with a little rinse in cold water now and then. A great product!
-
Our pup loves it
My dog loves wearing any bandana, so it wasn’t difficult to get her to wear it. This one is stitched really well and works as described. It even washes well (cold, hang dry) My lab/pit/? mix is 65lbs and the Large fits. Her black fur heats up quickly in the sun. The cooling effect worked very well around her neck, but seemed to keep her more comfortable everywhere. I love the smiley indicator so we know to re-wet it. To give you an idea, it is still damp after 40 minutes in 90F+ temps. I can’t wait to test it on longer walks.
Best Cooling Dog Bed
-
Great bed!
I could tell this was going to be a great bed because when I pulled it out from the box the bed was noticeably hot from just coming off a truck in the heat. But by the time I got it up two flights of stairs the bed had not only cooled down but actually felt cool to the touch. It's a little big for my dog's crate but I knew that when I checked the size. It's perfect and I feel a lot better knowing he has a comfy and cool bed for the summer.
-
Great bed
My dog had disk surgery and recommended a good bed for him and this has been great.Soft but firm and great price.I purchased 5 of them and he can lay in any room he wants.
-
My dog is happy!
July 2024. Hot in the house so I notice my dog going to his cooling bed. He even sleeps on it as opposed to on the bed with me! Lightweight and easy to wash. Comfortable too. It has a 2” comfy foam inside.
Best Elevated Dog Bed
-
Decent Bed
We bought this bed for our cats to use in their catio. So far, they haven't really used it though. I'm not sure why. The bed itself is built of quality canvas material, and appears to be very durable.
-
Elevated Dog Bed
I’m waiting for my dog to be driven to me from Kansas. I’m sure he will love it while laying on it in my back patio.
-
Perfect Beds!
Purchased two beds for our Aussies. You would have thought it was Christmas. They were SO excited! Great quality and easy to set up too!
Best Dog Pool
-
Dog Recommended 10 out of 10!
The minute we took the pool out of the box, the dogs were trying to get in it. It's been hard getting them to get out long enough for us to change the water. While I can't comment on its durability since we've only had it for a few weeks, but so far so good! It's very easy to pack up and the pattern is super cute! Great quality for a great price!
-
Just what we were looking for
This pool is surprisingly durable, a great size (we got XL) and best of all, can be folded right up after use! My pup loves it.
-
I love the ease of this pool!
This pool is great. Easy to set up, easy to empty and will withstand my dogs nails. They love it!
Best Dog Water 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.
-
Smart product
This water bottle with drinking lid is the best. The pups can drink easily from the smart lid/cup design and the bottle holds plenty of water for a long walk. Love it and it’s snazzy because the bottle is orange and the lid black!!!
-
best I've found!!
I've tried a few products to give my dog water on walks/hikes, and never thought they worked great. Then I found this Kong H2O, and it's the best!! The clever design of the drinking receptacle being built onto the lid works well, the shape of the receptacle is really easy for my old lab to drink from, and on a long walk, if he doesn't finish the water in receptacle, I can just pour it back into the bottle rather than wasting it. Highly recommend!
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
-
Standard in my household for many years
My cats and dog have enjoyed this fountain through many years. It’s got most parts dishwasher safe and the pump is pretty easy to hand clean. My animals are attracted to the running water which is healthier than something sitting in a stagnant bowl. I’ve had several petsafe fountains but always come back to this one.
-
Cat water fountain
I tried to replace the plastic fountain with a stainless steel fountain. My cat refused. I bought this plastic one which looks similar to the old crusty one. My cat accepted the new fountain. The old fountain was smaller and easier to handle.
-
Excellent Fountain
Just ordered a second one for our cats. They have had the first one since 2016. Now they have one on the screened porch and inside, too!! Great fountain that we all love!!
Best Frozen Treat for Dogs
-
Scrappy ice cream
My dog absolutely loved it he got it on his birthday and got it 2 days after since he is a small dog but absolutely loved it I will be ordering it again.
-
Jamie approves
My fussy dog loves this!! I got it for his 2nd birthday as a treat but may have to get it again soon!!
-
Pooch creamery
I make these and on extremely hot days, when I sit down with an ice cup for myself my dog enjoys one of these.
