The NWK Pet Cooling Mat is a pressure-activated gel pad that gives dogs and cats a cool surface to lie on during hot weather. The non-toxic gel recharges itself after a short time off the mat, so it works with no water, no freezer, and no electricity, just lay it on the floor, a bed, or a crate and the pet's own weight activates the cooling. The ice-silk top surface adds a smooth, cool feel and wipes clean. It is light enough to move from room to room or fold into a car seat for travel. Best for pets that run hot in summer, older animals with sore joints, and crates or kennels that get warm in the afternoon.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to put it in the freezer or add water?
No. The gel is pressure-activated and cools from your pet's body weight alone, with no water, freezer, or electricity required.
Is the gel safe if my pet chews it?
The gel is non-toxic, but it is not a chew toy. Supervise heavy chewers and remove the mat if a pet tries to puncture it.
How long does it stay cool?
It cools for a stretch of lying time, then needs a short period with no weight on it to reset before it feels cold again.
Can I use it in a crate or car?
Yes. It is flexible and light, so it folds into a crate floor, a dog bed, or a car seat for travel.
