My husky mix didn't like it as much as the gel pads, but both the terrier mix and whippet mix love it. They find the gel pad too cooling.

Immediately once i got it out of the box i could feel how cool and flexible it was, it wasn’t cold however but i think i might put it in the fridge (in a ziplock bag of course haha) for a bit and it’ll be a little colder. it’s super breathable, thin, but not like it’s gonna fall apart
