Cooling Mats for Dogs
Types of Dog Cooling Mats to Choose From
Our range of dog cooling mats covers three main types, so you can match the mat to the way your dog likes to relax. None of them needs electricity, water or a spell in the freezer, which keeps them simple to use day to day.
Some dogs prefer the firmer feel of a gel mat, while others settle better on a soft, breathable surface. Below we explain how each type works, so you know what you are choosing before you buy.
Gel Cooling Mats
Gel cooling mats hold a cooling gel that reacts to your dog's body weight. As your dog lies down, the pressure activates the gel and draws warmth away from their body, so the surface feels cool without any freezing or water.
A gel cooling mat for dogs suits dogs who like a firmer, weighted surface, and it wipes clean easily after a muddy afternoon. The gel settles back to a cool state on its own once your dog steps off, so it is ready for the next warm spell.
Self-Cooling Mats for Dogs
Self-cooling mats for dogs work without gel, so there is nothing to freeze, fill or plug in. The mat stays cooler than the room around it and starts working the moment your dog settles on it. This non-gel option suits a lighter mat you can move between the living room, the crate and the garden, and dogs who are wary of the firmer gel feel.
Breathable Ice Silk Cooling Mats
Breathable ice silk cooling mats use a smooth, cool-to-the-touch fabric that lets air move through it. The ice silk surface feels cool straight away and stays pleasant for your dog to stretch out on, which makes these mats a favourite for dogs who run warm or have thicker coats.
Many of our ice silk mats are washable, so they are simple to keep fresh through the summer. They also fold up small, which makes them easy to pack for trips away.
Cooling Mats to Fit Every Size of Dog
Our cooling mats come in sizes for toy breeds up to the largest labradors. A small cooling mat for dogs suits toy and small breeds, a medium fits most spaniels and cockapoos, and a cooling mat for large dogs gives bigger breeds room to settle.
Pick a size your dog can lie on fully, with space to stretch out rather than perch on a corner. If your dog likes to sprawl, sizing up gives them more cool surface to move onto.
Our Cooling Mats Are Safe for Your Dog
Our cooling mats are safe for your dog to use every day. They cool through pressure and contact rather than freezing, so there is no ice-cold shock when your dog first lies down, which is gentler for hot or older dogs.
Your dog can move on and off the mat whenever they like, and it works best in a shaded spot rather than direct sun. For questions about your dog's health or a specific condition, always check with your vet.
A Cooling Pad for Home and on the Go
A cooling pad from Duke & Scoop suits your dog at home and on the go. Use one in their usual sleeping spot or crate for a cooler layer, and take a lightweight mat along for the car, the caravan or the garden.
On the hottest days, pairing a mat with one of our cooling vests for dogs keeps your dog comfortable both while resting and out on a walk.
