About this deal

The mat does what it is suppose to do – it cooled Indy down from all her exhausting adventures but it is flimsy and doesn’t offer the support that several of it’s competitors do. It is much thinner and the material doesn’t feel as soft either. Indy (on the left) tests the Crufts cooling mat The Details

The Iokheria mat doesn’t have the sturdiness that some of it’s competitor’s have and feels rather flimsy. Additionally it doesn’t have the indents making it harder to fold to put away. Not a huge problem at all if you don’t intend to take this out and about with you. Danish Designs certainly hope so, and have brought us the Danish take on the doggy cooling mat, complete with three different sizes to cater for every kind of breed. We decided to test these cooling mats on our own adopted rescue dogs – they are so so understanding and good at us spending so much time looking after all the doggies at the shelter that we thought why not include them in the testing and reviewing process?Beloved for their range of different doggy cooling products, All For Paws are well known for their Chill Out Canine Bandana which has helped canines stay cool in temperature and get even cooler in style over the last few years.

Their mats boast incredible multi-functionality, and are suitable as both a standalone mattress or a dog bed topper, or perhaps even just a handy travel blanket for picnics! The Petic cooling mat is a self cooling mat so as soon as pressure is applied from a dog lying on it, the gel extracts heat from their body. Banjo finally, after turning his nose up at all the other cooling mats, settled on this one. He didn’t move for 2 solid hours – it definitely passed the ‘is it comfortable?’ test. Banjo falls fast asleep on the Petic cooling mat You know those board games that are designed to fold away really easily but end up taking you ages to work out what should be folded first? Some of the mats we felt were a bit like that. Not this one though. It is really sturdy and by far the easiest to fold away in seconds making it perfect for those who want to take the cooling mat away with them, in the car or even just moving it from the garden to inside. Even on the hottest of days Indy will be up to mischief somewhere, most likely trying to find lizards behind a plant pot or imagining there is one hiding from her somewhere. Yes Indy has a vivid imagination bless her. As you can see from the photos we tested the mat inside and outside, it is very easy and light to move from one place to another. Rufus opted to chill his paws in the shade, under a tree in the garden. For some reason the lower half of his body must not have been hot?! We are definitely not doubting his intelligence here, absolutely not!Self cooling mats are activated by weight or pressure. No water, refrigeration or electricity is required. When your dog moves the mat automatically recharges. These mats are filled with gel which absorbs your dog’s body heat when pressure (their weight) is applied to the mat.

It’s breathable material allows it to ventilate your pooch through the constant cool breeze passing through it, making it a refreshing chill out spot which is 100% safe. The feel to the cooling mat’s material is soft and strong. By placing our hand under both Banjo and Rufus’s bodies (or paws) we could feel the cold seeping through the material. Rufus keeps his paws cool on the Petic Cooling Mat The Details And with a humongous 102 cm large mat available, you might even be able to fittingly squeeze a Great Dane onto one of their chilly blankets! Cooing mats are designed to keep dogs (or other pets) cool on hot days but how do they work and most importantly do they actually work?Utilising a sports jersey-style material, this springy and bouncy mattress is both relaxing for your pup to lie down on and amazingly uses just fresh air to soothe your dog, making it the most natural cooling product available! Sometimes cooling pads can make for excellent items on summer trips to the seaside or a picnic, but are also especially handy for car journey’s which as we know can become particularly unpleasant heatwise come summer. A mat which has an easy creased and foldable design is obviously a lot more handy then to fold up into a car seat or take it away with you on holiday. Ease of Cleaning A lot of cooling mats will have a limited amount of time in which they can stay cool and refreshing before they will need to be ‘recharged’. This can range drastically from around 30 minutes all the way up to an impressive 5 hours. Naturally then, you want something that is probably at least 2.5 hours or more to be considered good quality. Recharge time So for canine owners who’ve never liked the sound of a potentially dodgy liquid oozing out of their dog’s new blanket when it gets damaged, this one’s probably for you! The mat material feels lovely and soft which Indy absolutely loved and settled on for 2 solid hours – very rare for her to stay still for this long, other than at night time. Sshhh Indy is taking the testing very seriously! Haha The Details
