GelFoam:
Gel-Pedic pet beds are made from a new patented material called GelFoam. GelFoam molds to the contour of your pet's hips and joints relieving pressure that can cause pain and discomfort. It provides superior comfort for pets of all ages, especially those ailing or suffering from arthritic conditions.  Gel-Pedic beds are available in small, medium and large pet sizes.

The properties of the Gel-Pedic pet bed work in accordance with the laws of thermal equilibrium. Two objects will strive to reach thermal equilibrium by transferring heat until both objects have attained the same temperature. The more dense an object is, the faster the heat transfer will occur. The natural properties of the GelFoam make the Gel-Pedic pet bed one of the most dense beds on the market.

A dog's natural body temperature should be 101°F - 102°F. If your pet's temperature is normal or even less, the foam of this fancy dog gel bed will insulate your pet from environmental temperatures that are cooler than their normal body temperature. The reason this is possible is because the dead air space within the foam cells slows the transfer of cold through the bed, allowing your pet's normal body temperature time to warm their nesting area.

The Gel properties of our dog and cat beds promote cooler temperatures during the warmer months. The bed's skin or outer surface, which is at room temperature, is very dense. The Gel will transfer your pet's body heat much faster than standard bedding materials, such as poly-fill, giving them a cooler and more comfortable nesting area.

Nesting Shape:
Many pets prefer to cradle or to sleep in a curled-up position. Gel-Pedic dog and cat beds provide a patented contour that gives your pet a natural pre-nested shape for ultimate comfort and security.

Each cat or dog bed is an average of 3.5 inches tall, making it easy for pets with sore hip or knee joints and muscles to painlessly enter the bed. Other pet beds compromise the security of the 360° shape in order to allow the pet to enter the bed.

The Gel-Pedic pet bed utilizes natural eucalyptus to repel fleas, mites, and ticks from your pet's bed, while providing aromatic freshness. The Repel-a-Flea system consists of 2-4 bars of natural eucalyptus plants placed in special reservoir pouches. These pouches are molded into the GelFoam bed. The dimensions of the pouch are 2” x 1” x 1”. Eucalyptus has been proven to have several benefits, such as:
- Natural aromatic freshness for the home
- Pure supplement for Rheumatism/Cough/Bronchitis
- Repels insects (used in bug sprays and candles)
- An ingredient for relief of minor aches and pains of muscles
- For temporary relief of nasal congestion

Eucalyptus repels insects -
“Thousands of plants have been tested as potential botanical sources of insect repellent. Most plant-based insect repellents currently on the market contain essential oils from one or more of the following plants: citronella, cedar, eucalyptus, peppermint, lemon grass, geranium, and soybean. Of the products we tested, the soybean-oil–based repellent was able to protect from mosquito bites for about 1.5 hours. All other botanical repellents that we tested in our initial studies, regardless of their active ingredients and formulations, gave very short-lived protection, ranging from a mean of about 3 to 20 minutes. Preliminary studies suggest that the oil-of-eucalyptus products will confer longer-lasting protection than other available plant-based repellents."
