🏆 "If my dog could write reviews, this would be a 10-paw rating."
"Best cooling mat ever," writes one customer who also calls it "fantastic." It keeps their dog "nice and cool no matter where he is," adding that they take it in their vehicle and to the cottage.
"My dog who is panting all the time has adopted her new cooling mat in a second!" shared another. They said it's a real "game-changer for her."
Another said it "keeps my dog cool and comfy!" They love that "the material stays cool to the touch and doesn't need any extra effort like freezing or wetting it." They continued, "It's lightweight and super easy to move around the house or take on trips."
While one person said it "feels cool to the touch," they did complain about it feeling "super thin" — their solution was laying it on their pup's bed. Another important note is don't leave it in the sun for too long, as that can damage the cooling fabric and colour-changing abilities.
The $47 price tag might feel a bit steep for a pet mat, but shoppers say it's definitely worth it for the cooling relief it offers their dogs on hot days. It might feel a little thin on its own, but you can always layer it over your pet's bed for extra cushioning. If you want to prevent your pup from overheating, this is a smart summer purchase.

To Parents on the First Day of Kindergarten: What Your Kids Really Need From You
This school year is THE year for me—my youngest is going off to kindergarten. The bittersweet feeling of this transition is acute. As much as this is a big moment for our kids, the first day of kindergarten for parents is equally momentous. The last 5 years have been filled with so much parenting intensity. There's been joy, exhaustion, struggle, love, self-doubt, and all the rollercoaster of emotions that come with the early years of parenting. We've survived sleep deprivation, tried to keep our patience during many a toddler tantrum (which still rear their head once in a while), managed the ups and downs of potty training and now we have a 5-year-old who hardly resembles that little baby we brought home years ago. Our 5-year-olds are now eager learners, excited by the world around them. They are now able to (mostly) hold a conversation with us for longer than a minute, even if it is about their favorite insect or fictional character. With our help and guidance, they have made amazing developmental leaps and are now ready to take on the new adventures that kindergarten will bring. The first day of kindergarten for parents: The kids still need us As a mom in this stage of life, it's easy to feel like our kids don't need us anymore. Sure, they are still young, but they are so independent in many ways. There's no more changing diapers, hourly feeding (well, unless raiding the pantry counts), rocking, and soothing. However, after experiencing the first day of kindergarten with my 9-year-old a few years ago, I have a little more perspective on what this transition means for parenting. As you might have guessed, these kids of ours, even with their 'big-kid' mentality, still really need us. They need us to model kindness With school and more interaction with friends, our kindergartners will inevitably encounter some experience of unkindness. Many of our kids have probably encountered a bit of this already. Kids tease, they 'unfriend,' and they may even push or shove. This is normal, but it is difficult for us when we realize that the safe bubble we've tried to create for our kids is no longer realistic. They will get their feelings hurt. The first day of kindergarten for parents means mentally preparing yourself for this reality. What we do know from research, however, is that kids are wired for kindness at some level. In lab experiments, babies as young as 9 months gravitate toward the kind puppet or character. For this kindness instinct to really take hold in older kids, however, it has to be modeled…a lot. Schools that implement kindness programs tend to maintain a kind atmosphere even into the middle school years (yes, it's possible)! Modeling at home is crucial too, of course. Our daily interactions with our kids, but also with store clerks, waitresses and yes, even other drivers, all illustrate to our youngest observers what it looks like to be kind in a sometimes harsh world. They need us to help them find their passions With the first day of kindergarten comes a whole new world of learning for our kids. Many kids gravitate toward certain topics right away—dinosaurs, trains, cowboys, mermaids. This intense interest in one topic is perfectly normal and actually quite beneficial for kids' developing brains. While kids don't have to find their lifelong passion in kindergarten, I have found it helpful and fun (for them and us) to offer them opportunities that might spark their interests. School does a lot of this for us by exposing them to many different topics and skills. However, some kids may not find their interest in school. The first day of kindergarten for parents means that you may have to play a big role in helping them find their passion. My youngest child, while he loved preschool, didn't find anything that totally piqued his interest. I took it upon myself to find books, videos, etc. that might be something he could really get into. So far, it's been comic books! He loves 'reading' them and trying to write his own. You never can tell where a simple interest can take kids' learning. They need us to help them figure out their emotions Little kids (and even not-so-little ones) have big emotions. Although our kindergartners may be mostly past the tantrum days, those big emotions sometimes still overtake them. Long days of learning and less quiet time often mean meltdowns come day's end. Many schools are getting on the bandwagon with social-emotional learning, but it often falls on us parents to help our kids cope when big emotions try to take over. Kids often hold their emotional selves together well at school, and the teachers may report they are so well-behaved under their watch. Once at home with us, they often break down and let out all the emotional tension that has piled up during the day. We should consider this a good sign! As hard as it is to be the 'emotional trash can' for our kids, it means they feel safe and comfortable with us to let their guard down. This struggle has been real for me and my now 9-year-old. Even as a third-grader last year, he often came home an emotional mess after the ups and downs of a busy day. We can become the 'emotion coaches' for our kids to help them figure out these emotions, label them and understand that no emotions are 'bad.' It's also important to realize, however, that we don't have to get our kids 'back to happy' too soon and that making them happy all the time may not even be part of our job. We can listen, we can guide, but we usually can't force the emotions we want them to have. Ultimately, modeling self-regulation is the best gift we can give them. We don't have to join their emotional turmoil but we can be there to support them as they work through it. They need us to help them find meaning in their struggles (but not always fix the struggles) This relates a lot to the issue I just discussed, but in a more tangible way. Upon entering school, kids encounter a lot of challenges they haven't experienced before—kids who don't 'play nice,' teachers they may not enjoy, school work that is hard, etc. These are real challenges, and our kids need real guidance. However, in many cases, we cannot 'fix' the problem. It's tempting as a parent to try to fix it all—change teachers, separate classmates, call the principal…the list could go on forever. In some cases, this type of intervention might be needed, but in many cases, we just need to be patient. The first day of kindergarten for parents oftentimes means reminding yourself to be patient. Many times, kids work out their differences with classmates, they learn to love that teacher after all or the little extra explanation you give on that math problem makes the concept 'click' in their brain. Patience often pays big dividends in their maturity, growth, and in ours. Many times, our kids don't really need us to fix the problem; they just need us to listen and provide a context of meaning for their struggle. They just need a hand to hold as they face the challenge themselves. Kindergarten parents, I will be with you in spirit as you drop off your little ones. Enjoy the moments and be ready for a whole new parenting job. Best wishes for the first day of kindergarten! Solve the daily Crossword
