Trixie Cooling Mat - 40 x 30cm

Trixie Cooling Mat

Dogs only have a small amount of sweat glands. The only way for dogs to regulate their body temperature is by panting or by sweating through their paw pads. However, this only helps the dog release a small amount of their excess body heat. If the humidity levels are high and the environmental temperature is almost as high as the dog's body temperature, the dog will have difficulty to maintain its body temperature by itself. Particularly on hot days, dogs can use some help to stay cool.

Trixie Cooling Mat is an easy-to-use mat. The portable design makes it easy to take with you. Unlike other cooling mats, the Trixie Cooling Mats do not require electricity, water or additional cooling in order to work, instead the cooling effect occurs through body contact and works for several hours. For the cooling mat to work optimally on very hot days, your dog (or cat) should step off the mat (breaking the body contact) every couple of hours to allow it to recharge. The Trixie Cooling Mat can also be used on beds, in a crate or car, etc. If the mat is dirty, it can be easily wiped cleaned with a damp cloth.
