What's the difference between the Original and Cooling Gel Dog Mat?
Our original Pawpedics was designed to cater to larger, heavier or post surgical patients who need the extra support. This means no expense was spared and we included natural latex and a more premium heavy duty memory foam base.
Our dog mat is still a premium product, but by removing the ultra plush latex and lowering the density of the memory foam by 10% we are able to cater to the needs and budgets of more dog and pet owners.
Our dog mat still includes premium perforated cooling gel memory foam and laser cut airflow channels throughout its design but is half the thickness overall. It's comparable to a camping mattress in a swag, if not about twice as comfy with all long lasting, machine washable components.
Is your bed chew proof and indestructible?
We have a rule of thumb that has not failed us for the last five years, this being:
- If your dog or pet chews your furniture or other household items (outside of their current bedding) - they will attempt to destroy a Pawpedics.
- If they only destroy their current bed, they will likely not destroy a Pawpedics. Why? A Pawpedics weighs a lot and we are convinced your pet will see it more as a piece of furntiture (like your own bed and lounge) as compared to a flimsy piece of fluffy fabric with some useless stuffing.
It takes a lot of work to move around or try to play with a Pawpedics like a toy. Not convinced? Check out our reviews by owners who have solved their bed destruction issues!
