Gel Pet Mats

Innovative mat keeps your pets cool by creating a lower temperature than your pet's body temperature. Gel Pet Mats fit any size pet to keep four-legged friends comfy, indoors or out. Soft, puncture-resistant, durable mats also provide cooling therapy for older pets suffering joint pain.

These fuss-free mats do not need to be soaked in water or refrigerated. The pad simply provides a surface that, upon contact, feels cooler to your pet than his body. The special fabric also helps dissipate his body heat back out into the environment. 1/2" thick.

Dogs can only rid their body of heat while panting. They do not have sweat glands - as humans do - except for a few on their feet. Panting alone is not enough when the temperature soars.

We have a few recommendations for you and your family to help your dog have a happy and healthy summer:

• Make sure you provide plenty of water.
• Never leave your dog in the car - even for a few minutes - in the heat. Just a few short minutes in these conditions can lead to irreversible organ damage or death.
• Keep your pet from the damaging rays of the sun. If you have a white, or lighter colored dog, areas of the body (tops of ears and nose) can sunburn. Applying a sunscreen (SPF above 15) may help prevent sunburn.
• Watch out for heatstroke. If you do vigorous exercise with your dog, make sure you exercise in the cooler hours of the morning or evening.
• Better yet, go swimming with your dog! Play fetch with water toys. This way both of you can keep cool!
