Review of the Dog Cooling Mat
Posted by Dog Approved QA Team on
There are a lot of ads and offers for various types of cooling mats this summer. All promise to make doggos more comfortable in the heat. We thought we had better do some research and check these out!
There are two primary types of cooling mats on the market: those that contain a gel and can be refrigerated and a multilayered fabric alternative. Many confusing ads on Facebook and Instagram claim features of both, but a little investigation shows these are not really from legitimate sellers!
The fabric ones are generally a Nylon Polyester Blend top layer and a mesh bottom, so it facilitates airflow, and the top will always be cooler than the surface it is on. This configuration seemed more practical to us, so this is the style in this review

Review Floating Rubber Dog Frisbee with Handles - Water Toy
Posted by Dog Approved QA Team on
If your dog is like ours they love the water, but with Woody's big jaws, a few chomps can destroy expensive water toys and end the fun pretty quickly. We hoped this strong rubber dog frisbee with handles might be the answer. See tests with the dog approved dog testers in the pool, playing tug of war and general dog chewing/chomping.
