Cooled Crate Mat

I have a couple of mats I use for bedding in my 4 month old sheepies crate.

He has a habit of lifting up the mat and pushing it into the corner so he can
sleep on the crate floor instead. At first I just figured he thought the mat
was a toy but I'm thinking he might prefer the crate floor because it's cooler?

I've heard stories of dogs liking tiled bathroom floors for this reason. I was
thinking about getting a cooled mat for his create e.g. miracool. Has anyone
any experience with these? Would you recommend them? Which Brand?

Fozzie has ALWAYS pushed the rug in his crate off to the side. Last night I didn't move quickly enough and he started to scratch to push the rug that is in the bathroom...otherwise known as the dog bedroom. This is the bathroom we just had remodeled so you could imagine the delight in getting their room back :D We also have fan facing Fozzie's crate all day long even though he is on our lower level which is on a concrete slab. It can get really cold down there when the air conditioning is on (all the time).

I also saw one of those cooling mats in a catalog. I came to the conclusion that Fozzie would probably chew on it and get some toxic gooey gel stuff all over the place. So, the crate and tile it is!
Does anyone have a link or two to one of these coolmats?
No experience with these, but the Drs. Foster and Smith have one

With Bogart's love of ice cubes,
he would be offering the other neighborhood dogs cocktails,
shaken not stirred.

I have a neck wrap (for human use) made of the same stuff as this bed, and its wonderful. I'm thinking of ordering one of these for each of my dogs, and one for ME to lay on during the hottest part of summer! 8)
