Warning About Cooling Mats

Just saw this, for anyone who uses cooling mats....

Do not leave your dogs unsupervised on cooling mats. A woman who bought one for her dog wasn't watching when the dog chewed a tiny hole in the mat and died. Vets put a piece of the mat in a glass of water and it swellled and filled the glass. Apparently the dog ingested some and it expanded in her stomach.

Also, most cooling mats contain antifreeze.

How horrible! Thanks for this
 
Forgot to note that this applies especially to ones made in China. But I'd still be careful of any that contain cooling material.....
