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.

Cons

  • The gel cools for a stretch then needs a short break to reset, so it is not constantly cold

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.
