Dog cooling mattress

The Dog Cooling Mattress by Danish Design is a flat, gel-filled cooling mat designed to help dogs regulate their body temperature in warm weather — no water, no electricity, no refrigeration needed. Just lay it flat and let the gel do the work. A practical solution for dogs that overheat in summer or dogs that are prone to overheating year-round.

The cooling gel inside the mattress activates on contact with your dog’s body heat and draws heat away from them, providing a noticeably cooler resting surface. The gel recharges automatically when the dog moves off the mat, making it ready for repeated use throughout the day without any intervention. The cover is wipe-clean. Available in three sizes.

Does the cooling mattress need to be put in the fridge?
No. The gel recharges automatically at room temperature when your dog moves off it. There is no need to refrigerate, freeze or plug in — it works entirely through the gel’s self-recharging properties.

What sizes are available?
Three sizes: Small, Medium and Large. The Small suits Chihuahuas and toy breeds. The Medium suits Cocker Spaniels, Beagles and medium breeds. The Large suits Labradors, Retrievers and larger dogs.

Is a cooling mat safe for dogs?
Yes. The gel inside is non-toxic and the mat is designed to be safe for dogs when used as directed. As with any mat, dogs should be supervised until you are confident they will not chew it — the gel is non-toxic but chewing the mat is not advised.

When is a cooling mat most useful?
Cooling mats are particularly useful in summer, in cars on warm days, for dogs that lie in sunlit spots, for dogs with thick coats that retain heat, or for dogs recovering from exertion. They can also be beneficial year-round for brachycephalic breeds (French Bulldogs, Pugs, Bulldogs) that have difficulty regulating body temperature.

“Our French Bulldog struggles in summer. This cooling mat has been a game changer — she uses it voluntarily and is clearly much more comfortable.” — Sarah, London

“We put this in the car on hot days. Our dogs settle much more quickly on long journeys in warm weather.” — Rob, Surrey

“Simple, effective and easy to clean. The gel recharges really quickly.” — Jo, Hampshire
