Stop pets overheating with cooling mats for cats and dogs

Your pooch or kitty can chill out in complete comfort on the All For Paws Chill Out Fresh Breeze Cooling Dog Mat. The mat features a sparingly plastic noddle mattress that allows air to flow through, making it a super refreshing place for pets to unwind. When it comes to keeping it clean, you can remove the zip-fastened cover and pop it in the washing machine on a cold cycle.

This Pecute Dog Cooling Mat is long-lasting, high-quality and non-toxic, so safe for all pets. It can be rolled up easily, so it's ideal for travelling or for storing. The cooling pad is activated by your cat or dog when it lays down by absorbing their body heat to keep them from overheating. To clean the mat, all you need to do is spray it with a bit of water.

Customer review: "Bought this for my pooch as she is always looking for something cool to lay on and our last one perished due to general wear and tear (not from this seller or make), was looking for another especially for the summer and very hot weather already arriving and it’s the perfect size for her, I recommend an XL for bigger dogs like huskies, German shepherds, golden retrievers etc as there’s plenty of space for her to lay and cool all of her. Certainly does the trick and she’s so much more settled now we have one!! Great item, 100% recommend."

This Volwco Dog Cooling Mat Pad can be used in your pet's bed. The mat's subtle design makes it a bit easier on the eyes than some other gel beds on the market. Made from fabric, it’s harder to destroy than other materials, and it’s washing machine friendly, so dirt and wear can be washed off with no problems.

Customer review: "this was a very pleasant surprise! It is lightweight fabric, but it is cool just like gel pads. Husband and dog fight over it in hot weather :)"

This fabric PawHut Portable Elevated Pet Bed has an elevated design that increases the airflow around your pet. This allows them to cool down when relaxing or sleeping both inside and outside, and it keeps them lifted off hot tiled floors and patio slabs. In addition, the raised bed is foldable, portable, and lightweight, so you can easily take it on trips with you. It can support pets weighing up to 31.8kg.

Customer review: "Sturdy can easy hold my bulldog male who absolutely loves his bed. He kicks the bedding off most nights as he prefers to lay on it as it comes 😃"

If you know your dog or cat prefers a bed versus a mat, then this Scruffs Cool Bed has all the qualities of a cooling mat but the appearance of a bed. It has a foam base for enhanced comfort and support, along with breathable mesh for improved airflow. The inner self-cooling mat is hard-wearing, non-toxic and offers a temperature that is typically five-10 degrees cooler than room temperature.

Customer review: "We have one in the car and one in the house, Lilly is only a tiny dog Cavalier but loves to lay full length this is the perfect bed. Also, the gel pad is great for the summer, you can take it out which is also great. Love it and I know Lilly does."

Scruffs Self-Cooling Dog Mat is designed to provide much-needed cooling relief to your pet on those hot summer days. Designed to be five-10 degrees cooler than room temperature, there's no need to pop it in the fridge or freezer, it just needs to be sat unused for around an hour to reset the cooling properties. According to reviews, this mat is more rigid than some other mats on the market, and it folds away quickly and neatly.

Customer review: "I did my research before buying and was won over by knowing ‘scruffs’ makes quality reliable products that I’ve had no problems with in the past. The cool mat itself has been a saviour - my dog loves it and we take it everywhere, used throughout the house, on her bed, in the car, in the garden - she goes from panting where she’s clearly warm/too hot to laying on this cool mat and being relaxed and cool enough to stop panting and many a time has fallen asleep on it… excellent product, keep up the good work ‘Scruffs’."

If you are looking for an un-expensive option to test trial your pet, then this Mega Jumble Self Cooling Gel Pet Dog Cat Cool Mat will work nicely. Activated by weight or pressure, this mat recharges itself as your pets move around. As expected, this mat is not as high-quality as some of the more expensive versions but works well as a first try to see if your pet likes it.

Customer review: "I ordered this due to the heatwave to give my dog something to lie on to keep her cool. It instantly cools when you apply pressure. My dog and two cats have all taken turns lying on it and seem to like it. It was a bit smaller than I thought it would be and you would definitely need a bigger size for a bigger dog."

Another budget option is this RSW Smart Choice Pet Cooling Mat. If you're worried about puppies and kittens getting too hot and overheating, or other smaller dogs and cats, this small mat is ideal. It's well-designed, water-resistant, robust and cools down quickly, and can be used both at home and away in crates, kennels or cars.

Customer review: "As we have somehow been blessed with a bit of sun in the UK, my 12 year old pup began to feel the heat and couldn't find a way to cool off or get comfortable. I scanned the Internet for some solutions until I came across this cooling pad. For less than a tenner on Prime I thought I'd give it a shot and hoped that it came before the sun disappeared for good, and it's honestly been one of the best things I've ever bought her (also thankful we can get some more uses from it and we got a little more sun too!)."
