An Expert’s Breakdown – Dogster

Key Features

High-Quality and Durable

Along with the premium, non-toxic materials, the pad can withstand paws and claws without being damaged. It’s made with durable fabric that’s chew-resistant, pilling-free, and claw-proof. It has anti-wrinkle properties as well, so it looks polished even after it’s been rolled up and folded for a while.

I was impressed with the thick material and quality design. Sometimes fabric can lose its shape or texture after washing, but the Cooling Mat has held up well against dirty paws and a few wash cycles.

Multiple Colors and Sizes

The mat comes in three colors and three sizes. The color options are gray, ivory white, and rose pink, and the sizes are medium, large, and extra-large. While Zonli doesn’t offer a small size, the medium should work just fine for smaller pups and cats.

I ordered a size large for Micah (he’s 54 lbs) and it fits him perfectly.

Reversible

While the mat is marketed as a cooling pad, it’s double-sided and designed for year-round use. The light-colored side is meant to cool your pet when it’s hot and the darker side is designed to keep them warm when it’s cold. This means your furry friend can switch from being comfy and cool during the summer to cozy and warm during the winter with a simple flip of the mat. It’s convenient for you too, since you don’t have to buy a completely different item when the seasons change.

Easy to Carry and Travel With

I was surprised with how compressible the pad is. The design is lightweight and the material is soft and flexible, so you can fold it up to pack it or compress it down into a smaller size for storage. It rolls up easily too, which is perfect for moving it around the house or taking it outside.

I’ve only used the mat in my house and backyard (and once in the car), but this would be a great product to take camping or bring on road trips.

Is the Pet Cooling Mat a Good Value?

Zonli’s Cooling Mat is a great value. This is a high-quality cooling pad that prioritizes safety and is effective at keeping pets cool. It ranges from $60.00 to $80.00 depending on the size and is competitively priced. When looking at other cooling pads, Zonli’s mat has several features that set it apart from other brands, like advanced technology, non-toxic materials, and an innovative design. It’s also reversible, so it’s like getting two mats for the price of one.

What countries does Zonli ship to?

Our Experience with the Pet Cooling Mat

We’re heading into the summer months where I live and Nevada summers can get hot. There are several ways I like to keep Micah cool when the weather warms up but Zonli’s Cooling Mat has been one of the best. The pad has over 100 five-star reviews on Zonli’s website, and after trying it out, I see why people and their pets love it.

First of all, the material is heavenly. The mat is soft and plushy and it’s 100% Micah-approved. The cooling side actually feels cold and the heating side has a velvety texture that’s perfect for staying cozy on a cold day. It looks classy too. I like the wave quilting for its sleek look, but the pattern also serves a practical purpose by enhancing breathability.

I like when pet products are hassle-free, so it was important for me to have a mat that’s easy to set up and use. I’ve passed up several cooling pads because they have a long prepping process. But that’s not the case with this one. It doesn’t require water or electricity and doesn’t have to be pre-chilled or refrigerated. Instead, it uses an innovative self-cooling technology that’s scientifically proven to reduce body heat and keep your pet comfortable. And best of all, it works! The material stays cool (even in 90°F heat) and it’s been great for indoor and outdoor use.

Unlike other mats, Zonli’s pad is flexible, so it fits almost anywhere. I’ve been rotating the mat around the house throughout the day so Micah has a cool spot to rest no matter what room we’re in. A few places I’ve put it are the floor, the furniture, and Micah’s bed. It’s also been great to have outside and put on the back seat of the car.

To say Micah loves the mat is an understatement. He fell asleep on it seconds after I unwrapped the packaging (the mat was still folded and the tags were still on). He lays on it all the time and it’s become one of his favorite go-to cooling spots. It fits him perfectly too.

Micah is a 54lb Standard Goldendoodle and I ordered a size large (28” x 48”). When I initially saw the mat, it looked a little small, but after I flattened it out, it was just the right size. Micah has room to lay flat and snuggle with a toy or two. That said, I wouldn’t mind having an extra-large size for him as well. A lot of the time he’s half on the mat and half off due to the rectangular shape, so the extra-large would give him more room to relax and space to sprawl out in all directions.

If you have a dog over 55 lbs or have a few four-legged family members who don’t mind sharing a space, I’d recommend sizing up.

Conclusion

If one thing is true, it’s that the cooling mat paid for itself in a few days. All it took was opening the package for Micah to decide the Cooling Mat was the best thing ever, and since it arrived, he’s used it every single day. I love that Micah has a cool place to lay and I’m looking forward to using the velvet side in the winter months.

For anyone contemplating getting a cooling mat for their furry friend, look no further. Not only is Zonli’s Cooling Mat soft and comfortable but it’s a great way to beat the heat.
