Even on the hottest of days Indy will be up to mischief somewhere, most likely trying to find lizards behind a plant pot or imagining there is one hiding from her somewhere. Yes Indy has a vivid imagination bless her. If your dog is experiencing one or several of these symptoms, you should seek medical advice from a vet. For the following locations next day delivery may take up to two working days: Aberdeen (AB 30-35, 41-54), Northern Highlands (AB 36-38, 55-56), FK (17-21), HS (1-8), IV (All), KW (0-14), PH (15-32, 34-48), Eire (Republic of Ireland) (EI (ZZ75) (All)), Glasgow (G 83), Guernsey (GY 9), Oban (HS 9, KA 28, PA 20-99, PH 33, 49-99), Isle of Man (IM (All)), Arran (KA 27), Orkney Shetland (KW 15-99, ZE (All)) and Cornwall (TR 21-25). With gel mats, the gel inside is activated by pressure – so when your pup (or cat) sits on the mat it cools them down. As you can see from the photos we tested the mat inside and outside, it is very easy and light to move from one place to another. Rufus opted to chill his paws in the shade, under a tree in the garden. For some reason the lower half of his body must not have been hot?! We are definitely not doubting his intelligence here, absolutely not!

Mely in particular loved this cooling mat. Being far squishier than the others she loved the not so firm feel to it. That said when we placed our hands underneath it didn’t feel as cold as some of the other mats. Could this be that with the softer material, there isn’t enough pressure between the mat and Mely’s weight for it to work as well? Not sure what to make of Mely’s face haha The Details We all want the best for our pets, so when we see them struggling to cope with things like discomfort or heat, we want to do whatever we can to fix it.To keep it feeling cooler, the manufacturer says it’s made using ‘new HNN cooling technology’. What that actually means is a bit of a mystery though, and I still haven’t found a formal definition that isn’t simply repeating the product description. In the photo below, you can see the base unit, power cable, and instructions. The little white piece is for draining it if you need to move the cover.

It comes with a 60 day trial period. They have an extended two year manufacturer’s warranty and will fix or replace any parts if needed. PriceDogs eyes often glaze over when they are too hot, a key way to avoid this is by trimming its coat to help it cope with warmer temperatures. Mats and beds are better for them than lying on the ground, as it provides their joints with more support and is, of course, more comfortable. Top tip: What I really like about this one is that it feels like a plush, comfortable, and supportive mattress topper when you lie on it. It’s the kind of topper I’d be happy to have just for the level of comfort it provides and the relief from pressure points across the whole body.
