I have used Conni products before, we brought one when my Mother many years ago, along with another brand. I found Connie's purple bed mat to be of better quality and overall superior, compared to other brands. It has lasted a long time - my Mother used it, I have used it and two of my Poodles, Cody and Simba, both became incontinent when they developed Cushing's disease. I also observed that the Connie products were less hot compared to other similar products. Interestingly enough, I happened to be given some Connie sampler mats, little tiny ones .... which were perfect for using in the bottom of my Ferret cages!
