My lab mix instantly took to this bed; she's always hot, and this really seems to help keep her comfy.
Perfect size for my Mastiff and holds up well outside. He actually uses it!
I'll admit, I was pretty skeptical about a 'cooling' bed, figuring it was just another gimmick. We live in a humid area, and my husky mix just seems to radiate heat. However, after a few days, I noticed she's spending way more time on this bed than her old one, and she actually feels cooler to the touch after laying on it. It seems the elevated design and mesh really do promote airflow. Color me impressed.
This cooling bed is exactly as described regarding its mesh ventilation and size. The frame feels robust, and my German Shepherd gets on and off it easily without any wobbling. While the bed itself is excellent for my dog, the packaging was a bit minimalistic; just a plain box with no protective wrapping inside.
Winston, our elderly Bulldog, has always struggled with the heat, especially here in Arizona. We used to find him sprawled on the cold tile, trying to cool down, ignoring all the fancy beds we bought him. The first evening we set this up on the porch, he cautiously sniffed it, then slowly got on. Now, it's his favorite spot for his afternoon naps, and he doesn't seem to be panting nearly as much. It's truly made a difference in his comfort.
