When dogs are too warm, they can use heat output methods such as evaporation, conduction, convection and radiation to cool down their bodies. Cooling beds rely on either conduction, which transfers heat to a cooler surface, and convection, which takes heat away through cooler air or water passing along their body. Dog cooling beds will often have a cool gel filling or designed for increased airflow through the bed. When the dog lays on the bed, the heat is transferred or carried away.
Dog cooling mats are generally safe for dogs when used appropriately. However, it's crucial to choose mats made of non-toxic materials and monitor your pet to prevent chewing and ingestion. Regularly inspect the mat for wear and tear, ensure it's the correct size, and follow the manufacturer's instructions for use and cleaning.
During summer, it's essential to be mindful of the external temperature, avoiding outdoor activities with your dog during peak heat. Always ensure they have access to shade and fresh water in their bowl. Dogs with thick or long coats may benefit from a grooming session, and those overweight are at a higher risk for heat-related issues.
Additionally, avoid walking your dog on hot surfaces; a good rule of thumb is if it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for their paws. Never leave your dog in a car, even briefly. To help them stay refreshed, consider adding ice cubes to their water or creating dog-friendly ice blocks using liquid treats or wet food.
