Rosewood Chillax Cool Pad, Large, 60 x 90 cm, blue

Product Information

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 Whilst Banjo refused to lie on the cooing mat opting for the grass instead, Indy took time out of her busy day of exploring the garden to help test the Crufts Cooling mat. We are not entirely sure what her face means but she looks blissfully content…. we think! 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

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. 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! 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 But is there about to be a third great invention to complete this would-be triumphant triumvirate?!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?

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.

Naturally, purchasing a tiny morsel of blanket for your great dane isn’t going to keep them very cool, and is going to be even less comfortable to lie on. Ensure that you choose the correct size from small, medium or large options depending on your breed but then take care to look further at the dimensions of a product. Every manufacturer will be slightly different as to what measurements equate which size e.g. a large pad from one company may be another company’s medium size! Pressure activation 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
