This pet cooling mat lowers temperature by 5-7℃ — and it's on sale for under $25 on Amazon

While double-digit temperatures can often be made better with pool days and ice cream, our furry friends don't cope as easily with the heat. Whether you're a pet parent to a short, medium or long-haired pooch, dogs are unable to sweat and, therefore, face a greater danger of overheating come summertime.

Luckily, there are a number of products designed to keep pets cool, including this Pet Cooling Mat from Amazon Canada. Dubbed an "awesome" cooling mat by dog owners, this non-toxic gel pad has racked up dozens of five-star reviews and an "Amazon's Choice" title.

How does it work?

This pet-friendly cooling mat is insulated with a non-toxic gel that, when activated by pressure, absorbs body heat and delivers a cooling sensation, lowering the temperature by 5-7℃.

Its surface is waterproof, puncture-resistant (necessary for sharp nails), and easy to wipe down. Depending on the size of your pooch, it comes in four sizes, 50x65cm to 80x120cm, and requires no electricity or refrigeration.

The gel-based cooling pad can be placed on the floor, in a kennel, in a car or outside, keeping your four-legged friends comfortable on hot, sunny days.

According to the brand, the cooling mat can help keep pets cool for up to three hours, but for maximum benefit, it should be flipped over every 30 minutes. For an extra cooling push, let the mat rest for 15-20 minutes before allowing your animals lay on it again.

What Amazon reviewers say

Earning top marks for being easy to clean, comfortable and durable, Amazon shoppers say the Mora Pets cooling mat "works great" and promise it "quickly" cools down their animals.

"My dog took to this right away," writes one five-star reviewer; "we love this thing."

Reviewers say the cooling pad is a "massive help" on hot days. One shopper said it worked so well at keeping "[their dog] as cool as possible" that they decided to order two more "right away."

It's "awesome," writes another user — "very useful for summer."

Despite its 4.2-star average rating, some say the mat is "definitely not puncture-proof" and write that while it's "cool at first," it does tend to "warm up very quickly."

Should you buy it?

As a pet parent, the main goal is to ensure your pet is always comfortable and healthy, so it might be smart to invest in something like the Mora Pets cooling mat, especially during extreme weather conditions. Dubbed an "awesome" cooling pad by reviewers, Amazon shoppers call this heat-regulating pad a "massive help" on scorching days. However, some note that it "warms up very quickly," so it's important to maintain more than one line of defence against the heat this summer.
