I have three...the ones with the little gel pellets that swell when soaked
in water. I have found that they are very helpful to keep the dogs cool in
very hot weather....either at shows when traveling. In motel, I soak them
over night in the bath tub so they are ready to use in the morning. The
largeone that is the size of a 500 vari-kennel mat is very, very heavy when
fully soaked. The other two are much smaller - about half the size of a 400
vari-kennel mat, but are certainly enough to keep the dog cool and much
easier to handle. Some GSD people I have talked to, feel they should not be
used at shows so the dogs can adapt to the heat and that it is much harder
onthem to gait in the heat if they have been laying on a cool mat all day.
Would be curious to know what others think of this philosophy.
