Angel had her pad exactly 45 minutes and the siding came apart and the liquid came pouring out
I bought this to replace another brand that lasted less time than I expected (one season only)
This is somewhat heavy, but this is a good thing as the gel is a thick layer across the whole mat
Unfortunately she does NOT like the fabric of this and will not lay on it unless it has a sheet covering it
Living in Arizona with a Pug that get overheated all year long laying on her belly, I wanted to try this
So anyway I am not sure if it would of done a good job or not as I can't trust her or it not sure if the liquid is toxic or not Very good so far
