Dog Cooling Mats & Vests

Cooling Mat or Cooling Vest?

Cooling Mats and Cooling Vests are both effective in preventing your dog from overheating in warm weather. If you have an energetic dog, your best option would be a cooling vest, whereas if you have a lazier dog, a better option would be a cooling mat placed in a shady spot they like to rest. 

Cooling vests are available in 2 sizes: Medium and large
Cooling mats are available in 3 sizes: Small, large and extra large
 

Be Aware

Signs and Symptoms of overheating include:

• Elevated body temperature
• Bright or dark red tongue and gums
• Weakness/collapsing
• Excessive drooling
• Heavy panting

If your dog shows these symptoms, either attempt to cool your dog quickly, however if the signs seem extreme, take your dog to the vet immediately

Keep Your Dog Cool

• Provide fresh, clean water for your dog to access at anytime
• Hose down your dog on particularly hot days

• If your dog requires exercise everyday, early mornings or late afternoons are ideal.
