Best Cooling Mat
-
Cool mat for hot dog
Our senior lab has trouble regulating her temperature and was constantly going from bed to bed, panting and drooling. Our vet told us that as Black Labs gets older, they have difficulty cooling down and recommended this mat. She now sleeps soundly through the night-- no panting, pacing or drooling! We love it and she does too
-
Green cooling
Self cools which is great as we live in an RV. Bert just loves it and sleeps on it almost constantly. It's great when temps get hot or humidity is high. Got a medium so the whole cat will fit.
-
Amazingly cool
My GSP loves this mat especially after a long walk. Bring in Florida he gets really hot in this heat and humidity so this mat really helps him cool down pretty fast! So glad I bought it
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
-
The cooling top! Hot natured dog loves it!
My mini Aussie is not so mini and loves to stretch out. Plus she is going on 10 yrs old and her hips bother her. The size, quality of the cover, thickness and not just some squishy mattress! Very firm and cushiony! She loves it and the cooling pat gives her options
-
Great size and cushion
Wish it could be a little longer but otherwise great bed, very cushioned and love the cover that you can take on and off to wash it.
-
Love it!
My boy is very fuzzy, so he's hot all the time. He has found comfort in this bed and that makes us all happy.
Best Elevated Dog Bed
-
Goldens LOVE LOVE LOVE these
These are the only beds my dogs crawl into before I finish assembling them. We use them year round. In the winter, I put their fleece on top. The mesh is soft and stretchy enough to make the bed super comfy for a 65 lb dog. We now have them in the bedroom and living room. Oh, and another perk...the robot vacuum goes underneath! (This is crucial for a golden home) The Large is a tad big for a golden but lets two cuddle together in one cot if preferred. The medium is too small for a golden. They're like the three bears.
-
Amazing and Loved
Ok, holy cow, I did NOT expect such greatness from these beds. Truly an all weather bed and dog resistant. I have big dogs and they like to bounce around on these beds switch from one to the other. The beds have shown no wear or tear, claws and rough housing haven't even phased them. They dry quickly after having pouring rain on them, they're not molding or smelly. The colors on them are great. Love the colors. Super easy to set up. I have no complaints and we've had them for quite some time now. Still under a year though.
-
Not cheap material
Affordable, but durable. Have a 5 month old cane Corso puppy that is teething and this thing has been his chew toy of the month and has held up to it all
Best Dog Pool
-
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 !
-
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!
Best Dog Water Bottle
-
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.
-
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 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
-
Cats are drinking more!
My cats love this fountain. One cat likes to drink from the bowl, and the other prefers the stream of water. Both are drinking more from this fountain than they did from still water in bowls. The water must taste better and be healthier for them, because it is filtered and turned over constantly. Love the product!
-
Got water?
I had a simple water fountain I bought as a black Friday special. I replaced it with this fountain. In the house we currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats. Within a short time all the animals were using it and we removed all other water bowls. We noticed we had to refill it more often as the animals were drinking more and more water daily. I'm very pleased and glad the animals are getting healthier because of it.
-
Size
Okay this water fountain holds a lot of water and makes it pretty easy to clean which, with two cats and a dog, has been a game changer. The cats are obsessed with the falling water feature and drinking more than ever! Love.
Best Frozen Treat for Dogs
-
Porter the dobie loves peanut butter ice cream!!
I think Porter tried all of the other ice cream but he loves peanut butter.He likes it in treats, he likes it in his morning food & he could eat peanut butter all day long!
-
10/10!!
My dog absolutely loves this ice cream! My dog has a very sensitive stomach and this product doesn’t brother him at all! I will definitely be buying the other flavors!!
-
Yummy
Both my kids love it. I always thought ice cream was bad for animals but this is more not quit pure ice cream
