What is inside the cooling pad? I love this idea but I"m a little worried what would happen if for some reason my pup chewed on it.

I don't know what is inside since I have not cut it open to find out. I would think it would be the same gel that is in the freezer packs that you use in coolers and lunch boxes.

It's relatively good. It reduces the temperature of your laptop by a few degrees. Unfortunately for me though, since my internal fan is barely working, it wasn't enough for mine, but I'd say it's pretty good. Not a fan of the material that the chill pad is made of though. Thought it would be made of a harder plastic. Hope I was helpful

They make a safe, heated snuggler pad especially for birds. ID remember the brand, but I did see it for sale here on AMZ.

I haven't noticed any difference, but I have a large dog that is a heavy chewer and she makes short work of them--gone in 20 minutes. Don't know how old your puppy is--could she be teething and have sore gums?

It keeps the dog cool while lying on it by pulling the body heat from the dog. When the dog gets up, the pad releases the heat into the air & cools itself back down. I use mine when traveling & at dog shows. It is not "ice cold" just keeps them cooler.

There is a pre-applied thermal pad. I use the term pad, because it doesn't seem to be a paste in the normal sense of the word.

I would think to get the most cooling would be directly on the mat. However, if your dog likes to "scruff" before lying down then a towel or pillow case is a good idea to keep nails from damaging the mat.

I'm not sure what a cooling pad is. if you explain I'll let you know. I will say it's vast in space.

Not that I can tell. I would imagine a cool pad would do enough but overall no. It is normal..

I use the pad for my 30lb pug in the car when going on long trips. It keeps her from panting, which she did even with the AC on high. I keep it in the fridge when not in use - Perhaps you could freeze it to keep it cooler longer.

I think the product has some sort of guarantee if chewed through the outer layer. You would have to check with the manufacturer

The pad is whip stitched on the edges. I'm not sure what would happen if you cut that off unless you have a machine to re-stitch the edges.

it does get a tad warm if dog hasn't moved around and the pad cant "re charge". . I have sometimes put in in the freezer/refrigerator for a while to re-cool and/or if I think my dog might be on it for longer than usual when I leave the house. (I also use one of those non mesh laundry bags (cotton) as a cover. It is thin enough that doesn't compromise cool ness of pad.)

What I do is spray the pads lightly with the " Bitter Apple spray " that you can get in a pet smart ot pet co, or here on Amazon, and your dog will never shred the pad when it's on the pad holder again. The Holder is great.

Your pup shouldn't (maybe if he chews it...)I have 2 big dogs & had no problems. But I put a seat protector over mine also. I inflated it the first time over a year ago & it's just starting to get a little soft now. But it works great!

Hello Denise, This heating pad works best if you can place it in a substantial cover that would not let your pet parrot chew through and possibly expose the electrical heating element wires. The heating pad has a very thin plastic cover around it. The pad only heats up to around 100 degrees and does not radiate heat very far into the space. I placed my heating pad under the thick dog bed between the floor and dog bed. My dogs have to lay down and snuggle into the bed to get warm. Perhaps if you bought the large heating pad and wrapped it around the cage on the outside of the cage that might be cozy and relatively safe for your pet parrot. I hope this helped. Good luck.

No, not at all. Could be your dog got into something? Might want to check his teeth, Make sure no plaque or tartar buildup, I recommend Plaq clnz gel.
