The cooling pad/bed is well-made, the fabric really does feel cool to the touch. It has rolled pillow sides for head resting. I can put it in my dog's outdoor bed, which has a roof for shade, open sides, and the cooling bed is a great addition for outside doggie lounging.
Personalized customer service experience, they showed great care when my shipment got lost in transit.

My Biscuit boy and I absolutely love his cooling pads! 🐾💙
As a military family, we’re always on the move. We recently relocated from San Diego, California, to Fort Worth, Texas, and the heat here has been unbelievable! Thanks to these cooling pads, Biscuit can finally relax, stay cool, and get the restful naps he deserves.
Thank you for helping keep my sweet fur baby comfortable and happy during this hot Texas summer! 🥹🐶💕 great quality stays cool !
The team at Pellsbarn was able to help me see that my billing problem was transposition of numbers. They were prompt and very kind. Both on line and via the phone..
At first I thought it was a scam, but Pelsbarn emailed me with the delay, and to make it up to me, they upgraded my order and gave me extra items for the delay. I am very satisfied with the quality and customer service.

First time ordering. Arrived and was too small for my dog and quality was poor. Asked to return. They tried to get me to keep them and get 20% in new merchandise, then 30%. I got very direct and they finally came back with full refund, I have to pay to mail back and an $8 fee for restocking. Bottom line-$85 to ship back. Think before you order.

They actually have a quality product that is as good or better than advertised!! That’s a rarity these days. Both my dogs love the truly cool fabric and I love its quality construction! I can say with confidence I’d buy this again… actually I’d buy it for myself if it was bigger! ♥️

Updating my previous one star review because the experience has worsened. They have asked for the UPS tracking number or other previously reported information in no less than 25 emails. I have repeatedly replied provideding the tracking number. UPS confirms they received the package. TODAY after nearly a month of receiving endless emails to the point of harassment they had the audacity to ask for my order number. It is truly astonishing. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS "COMPANY! Do not order from this company. Shipping took forever ultimately had to purchase something else because it thought it would never arrive. The chemical smell was unbearable WITHOUT OPENING THE PACKAGE. Returning the UNOPENED package has been a nightmare. I had to pay significant shipping costs and they still refuse to refund my money despite proof they have received the UNOPENED return.

I have 10 emails in which I requested a return within my 14 days Pelsbarn keeps emailing me refunds options 20% 30% refund Or choose another item and not have to return the items I purchased. My dag doesn’t even like your product. I’ve tried numerous times to get the address to return the items and get a full refund. Pelsbarn is not living up to the return of 100% refund if you are not satisfied.
I will be reporting this to the Better Business Bureau and place online constantly not to buy your products!

I ordered the dog car beds and did recieve the seatbelt restraints making the beds unusable. I have spent 3 months, numerous emails, phone calls. They asked for pictures of packaging which I no longer have. All I want is for them to send the seatbelts. How hard is that. I will not use this company again . Customer service is
horrible .

If I could give it no stars I would. The products were bad quality, cheaply made, and did not cool my hand down, never mind provide effective cooling for a dog. I had to message repeatedly to ask for a return address and return form. They then asked for photos and generally delayed the process.
I paid a considerable amount to return the items (they offered me 20% back to keep them which I didn’t accept as they are that bad) and they also charge a $7.99 restocking fee, so all in I will receive around half of what I paid for my order back.
They received my return order 15 business days ago and have not even acknowledged that they have it, never mind actually processed a refund.
Avoid.

One of the worst! Stay away from this company. It’s pretty much close to a SCAM. Their products don’t do what they promote literally NO.
It took a month for them to finally ship their cooling mat. And the mat suppose to cool our pets it’s a joke! It’s some thin fabric that doesn’t do ANYTHING.
Since their products are scam I’m pretty much sure that they help shelter animals is a scam too.

I ordered two cooling mats for my dogs about 2 weeks before our vacation they got there after we left My dog sitter opened them up for the dogs to use and they did not like them. When I
Returned home I contacted Pelsbarn to return them and was denied the chance to return them as it was past the time frame and now I am out $100+ for a product I can't use. Unhappy with Pelsbarn to say the least. Will not recommend this company

I placed an order for the car bed and it looks nothing like the pictures on line. It is missing the cover and blanket it was suppose to come with. My dog likes the high sides to snuggle in but it is not what I ordered. Customer service went back and forth with me and agreed to send missing items only to later be told they were in back order and instead would send a cooling mat but instead received a thin sheet . Makes no sense . I could have used one of my pillow cases and accomplished the same thing.

The quality of the items I purchased was far above what I was expecting. This was my first purchase from this company. The items were thoughtfully wrapped and included a keychain in the shape of a paw print that has room for a beloved pets fur, being I had lost my sweet boy 6 months ago, I had his fur here in a little case so I can add it tot he keychain now! My remaining two dogs have wonderful cooling mats for their crates now! The customer service was also very helpful and responsive. I will 100% be using this great company again!

EDIT: 28/09/26.
It is now 15 days since my Return was received (and acknowledged) 15 days.
Pelsbarn themselves said I should expect my Refund once the return has been inspected etc., which can take up to 10 days. Says on their page too.
I gave them the full 10 days and emailed asking about my Refund and heard back saying that the "inspection process can take up to 10 days" (useless email really as I stated that in mine to them🤷)...then 13 days and emailed asking when I might expect to hear about my Refund... then 15 days and emailed Again saying I'd like to hear back by return that my Refund is being processed Or has been and it's on the way. Both of these emails have remained unanswered/acknowledged and I am Still none the wiser as to When my Refund will hit my Bank.
After my initial Review, Pelsbarn replied wanting additional information which was given and the Return was able to proceed... and I thought Thank Goodness because this is no small amount when I depend on state pension and disability benefit And I used some of the little savings I have. So, YES PLEASE PELSBARN, I would very much like to have my Refund back in my Bank Account ASAP. Really, I shouldn't have to Still be chasing you for this.... especially when you have the nerve to send numerous emails every week showing your products And one today wanting to know "how you did" 🤷 Really? This whole debacle has been going on for far too long now and needs to be resolved.
If I could give 0 stars I would have.
I ordered a cooling mat which was on offer for BOGOF.. but only one arrived AND to be perfectly honest I was surprised and very disappointed with the size. It in no way measures up to the size of the older cooling mat of the same "Large" bought elsewhere. I contacted their customer service as advised on their webpage and received a standard reply, saying someone would be in touch within the next 3-5 working days. That was just over 3 weeks ago and every time I Very Politely ask that someone gets in touch with the return instructions and return address, I get their standard reply. I am a pensioner relying on state pension and disability benefit. I used some of what savings I have to give my dogs some relief and comfort during the recent hot weather AND Pelsbarn really sell their goods - making them sound way above products of a similar make. In actual fact, there is absolutely NO difference between their cooling mat and the others I bought from Amazon - and at an such an extortionate amount, I wish dearly I had gone back to Amazon. Do yourselves a favour and don't waste your money or like myself, you'll end up wasting your time as well, trying to get a refund - which is supposedly promised on their webpage... but like the "someone will be in touch etc.," it won't be forthcoming. Just so everyone knows, in my last email this morning to Pelsbarn I let them know I would be leaving a stinging Review - and guess what?... I got their standard reply. A Very expensive lesson learned for me - one I could really do without but we live and learn And I have already told my many dog walking friends not to waste their money and time. Disappointed and very let down by a Company that shouts about how good they are . 👎👎👎

The cooling mat is amazing! My dog loves it and it cools her down quickly. What’s really outstanding is the customer service from Pelsbarn. The item was shipped to an address where I was staying for a couple of weeks and because of a mix up with the USPS, it ended up being sent back to Pelsbarn. They were in constant communication with me and ended up re-shipping to me at my home at their expense. That is the definition of excellent customer service and going the extra mile!

Do not recommend, product is average. But the customer service and experience is even worse. They sent me the wrong bed. I ordered the cooling bed. And received the “fluffy bed”. I reached out to Support and didn’t hear back till three weeks later after multiple attempts. And to make matters worse, they asked me to send multiple images to prove the inaccurate delivery (which I already included in my original ticket). Images of the bed, images of the wash tag images of the bar code, etc. After sending these multiple times, they then tell me that they’re going to send me a return label to return it. Then what? When I asked, they said they could send me the correct product, only after they received the return item. I don’t know about you, but I think an honest company should send me the correct product Or issue refund in a prompt manner. If they solve the problem from the beginning and took care of it, I would be a repeat customer or give them a positive review. They declined.
Also, I don’t know how they have 4.9 stars on their website that’s also false advertising.

Pelsbarn provided a simple and enjoyable shopping journey. The website worked perfectly, my purchase arrived as expected, and I couldn't be happier with the service.

I purchased a cooling bed from the company but my dog never took to it. I contacted the company to return the bed for a refund within 30 days of purchase and they graciously did so with no problems. The quality of the product is peerless, and I would hesitate to purchase other products from the company.

Fast shipping and a great product that my Lily girl is using when she is overheated!
