Dog cooling products to help your pooch beat the heat

This Cool Club Dog Paddling Pool just pops up in seconds, with no need for inflation, so it's ideal to use to cool your pooch down if there's a sudden spike in temperatures. Designed to be used as both a doggy splash pool and an outdoor bath, the pool features a mesh pocket to store toys in and a convenient lead retainer, which will come in handy if you have a dog that likes to make for an escape come bath time.

Our review: "With three doggies to worry about cooling down, I went straight to Pets At Home to buy this paddling pool when the recent heatwave was announced. My Labrador Retriever cross, Barney, absolutely loves water so I knew he'd be all over it. However, Gina, my Yorkshire Terrier Jack Russell cross, isn't so keen and my Cockapoo pup, Bella, hasn't really been swimming before so I wasn't sure how they'd react to it. To my surprise, the paddling pool was a hit with all three and they've been constantly dipping in and out of it when they need to cool off. I love it because it's easy to put up so it can be filled whenever the hot weather comes about and can also be neatly folded away, ready for another day, when the sun goes down."

Keep your furry friend entertained and engaged at the same time as making sure they're cool and refreshed with this Pets at Home Ice Pineapple Cooler Dog Toy. Made from durable, non-toxic materials, you simply fill it with water and place it in the freezer for the water to turn into ice before giving it to your dog. Your dog will enjoy the feel of the ice turning into slush as they chew into the different textures on the rubber to give them a fun and cool hit. We love the tropical holiday feel of all the toys from this range.

Our review: "I bought my dogs the watermelon and lolly shaped toys from this range and they just couldn't get enough. They're perfect for dogs who love to chew as the rubber is soft on their teeth but it also feels a bit hard at the same time because of the ice inside. I felt they were actually quite hydrating because of the condensation produced on the outside as the ice started to melt. The dogs were happy they had new toys to play with and I was happy they'd got something to cool them down."

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."

With three layers of cooling fabric, this POPETPOP Dog Cooling Vest is sure to keep your pooch's temperature down. It has surface mesh for reducing heat from outside, a middle cotton layer which provides cooling through evaporation and heat absorption, and an inner layer that transfers the cooling effect from the jacket to your dog. The vest is designed with reflective strips, which will be perfect for taking your dog out for walks in the early hours or late at night when the weather is coolest.

Customer review: "Crazy hot day. PoppyDog was panting but as soon as I got the coat wet and on her she just went to sleep and it seems to be working. She's comfortable and happy and keeping cool. Poppy is an 8kg Border Terrier and I bough Medium and there's plenty of room in it for her. It fits her back length and I shortened the straps to their tightest and she's perfectly happy in it."

It also has grips on the feet, which make sure the bed doesn't slide about when your dog is getting in and out of it.

Customer review: "Our Husky loves this, he suffers so much in the heat and has really appreciated this since he's had it He even likes to sit out on it at night when the sun has gone but it's still too warm inside."

Another item your dog can wear to keep cool is a bandana. The All For Paws Chill Out Dog Bandana, with its water splash design, is just what your dog needs on warm weather days.
