Keep your pup cool during the heatwave: This PetIsay Dog Cooling Mat is now better-than-half-price on Amazon

• e-mail

Whether you're shopping for fans, cooling eye masks or breathable clothing, Amazon is great for finding all you need to stay cool during a heatwave... but have you considered how to keep your pet cool in summer?

Unlike humans, dogs can't sweat through their skin and can suffer fatal heatstrokes within minutes. To regulate their body temperature, dogs will pant and release heat through their paw pads and nose. 

In addition to keeping your pet in the shade, having clean water at all times and not leaving your dog in a hot car, another good solution is a pet cooling mat such as this offering from PetIsay.

This PetIsay dog cooling mat is currently better than half price on Amazon

Currently better-than-half price, the £8.99 large cooling mat measures 26 x 20 inches (65 x 50cm) and creates a cool spot for your pet to relax indoors and outdoors. If you have a big dog, there is an extra large version available for £14.40, which is a saving of 42 per cent on the RRP.

Shoppers have noted the large size is ideal for smaller dogs such as a terrier or Pomeranian, while the extra large size is suitable for Labradors and golden retrievers. 

The self-cooling and non-toxic gel inside the mat provides continuous relief up to three hours and recharges by itself after just 15-20 minutes of non-use with no need for water, electricity or refrigeration.

Made from high quality PVC, the cooling mat is waterproof, scratch-resistant, wear-resistant and super durable, meaning your dog will have a hard time tearing it up.

One shopper wrote in their review: 'Our pup loves this bed. We have more than one now just because we're putting them in more rooms in the house.

'Even when it's not all that warm out she enjoys laying on them. She tried to scratch at them as though pushing down grass but it didn't even leave a mark, so very durable.' 

The cooling mat can be used on floors, in dog beds and crates, on car seats and on sofas. It also folds up for compact and easy storage.

Another shopper wrote: 'The cooling mat is great and of excellent quality. During the recent hot weather, my dog would not get off it and I'm unsure how they would have coped without it.'

A third added: 'My golden retriever fits on this mat perfectly. We are in another heat wave and I purchased this to make sure she was cooled after being outside. 

'Humidity has been horrible and short walks are all we can do safely. Once we return home she can recover quicker while on it. This is our 2nd cooling mat. They last a long time.'
