4.5 / 5
Outstanding
Strengths
- Widest size range in the category - 40x30cm to 110x70cm covers toy breeds to giants
- Zero prep - pressure-activated gel needs no water, freezing or electricity
- Low price and stocked almost everywhere in the UK (Amazon, VioVet, high-street pet shops)
Watch outs
- Gel can split and leak if punctured by sharp claws or a determined chewer - retire any leaking mat
- Cooling is gentle relief rather than dramatic cold - works best at ambient temperatures around 20-28C
- Not chew-proof; supervise dogs that like to dig at or bite their bedding
