Summer is the toughest season for dogs. While we can just throw on a t-shirt, your dog struggles to shed the heat – and over 80% of dogs experience discomfort when temperatures rise. A new type of cooling mat has been taking America by storm. Here are the 7 reasons so many owners are switching right now.
Cools your dog on contact – no electricity, water, or freezer needed
The mat is cool to the touch. When your dog lies down, the surface cools them down instantly – no gel, no charging, no hassle. Just roll it out.
Protects against life-threatening heatstroke
Heatstroke can strike in under 15 minutes and can be fatal. The mat keeps body temperature down and gives your dog a safe, cool place to rest on the hottest days of the year.
Stays cool all day – never needs charging or refilling
The mat cools on contact, so it never needs to go in the freezer, be charged, or be filled with water. Just leave it out – and enjoy cooling comfort all day long.
Fits right in – in the crate, the car, on the floor, or on the couch
Flexible and easy to fold. Bring it to the cabin, take it on road trips, or lay it in your dog's bed at home.
Washable and easy to keep clean
Dirt or dog hair on the mat? It's washable, so it's quickly fresh and ready to go again – season after season.
Completely free of toxic gels – safe for your dog
Many cooling mats are filled with gel that can be dangerous if your dog bites through it. The Petly Cooling Mat cools on contact and contains no toxic gels – just a durable, dog-safe material.
Now available as 2-for-1 – so your whole home is covered
Right now, you get two mats for the price of one. One for the living room, one for the bedroom – or an extra for the cabin. With a 60-day satisfaction guarantee.
