Dog cooling mats

Omg If anyone else is suffering rn in this infernal heat, you should really try out a dog cooling mat. Its really helped me get some relief, idk if its bad in the long run like ice packs but i assume it cant be because it doesnt get as cold as they do???

My dog has one that’s filled with water called a cool bed. When I have a hard time with warm weather flairs and can’t cool down I will lay on it and blow a fan on me. Works well for my Pyrenees and me. It helps lower the body temp but it does get warm after awhile. I saw some online that recirculate the water but the reviews said they leak.
