ArcticPaw Cooling Mat — Instant Cool Relief Without Gel or Electricity
When temperatures rise, your dog has no way to cool down except panting and pacing on hard tile floors — neither of which actually works. The KovePaws Dog Cooling Mat uses advanced passive cooling fabric that draws heat away from your dog's body and dissipates it through a breathable mesh layer instantly. No gel, no water, no electricity, no refrigeration. Just immediate, sustained cool relief that lets your dog finally rest and recover properly in the UK summer heat.
Why the KovePaws Dog Cooling Mat Works
- Passive cooling technology — engineered fabric actively draws heat away from the body and dissipates it through breathable mesh, with no external power source or preparation required
- Joint-friendly cushioned base — dogs naturally seek hard tile floors for coolness, which punishes their joints over time. This mat delivers the same cool surface with cushioning that protects elbows and hips simultaneously
- 100% non-toxic textile construction — no chemical gel that can leak or be ingested, no electrical components to chew, no toxic filling of any kind
- Foldable and lightweight — lays flat over car seats, inside crates, or on sofas in seconds, making it the only cooling solution that works at home and on the move
What's Included — Features and Benefits
- Breathable cooling fabric — high-tech cooling fibres feel crisp to the touch immediately, lowering body temperature and heart rate faster than air alone after walks or outdoor play
- Cushioned joint-protective base — soft cloth support protects pressure points during rest, making it suitable as a daily bed replacement during warmer months
- Scratch and claw resistant material — reinforced construction withstands daily nesting, digging, and clawing without fraying or losing cooling performance
- Foldable compact design — lightweight enough to carry in a bag and fold into a car seat, crate, or travel bag for use anywhere
- Available in Coffee, Dark Blue, and Soft Pink — designed to complement home interiors rather than look like a clinical medical accessory
Perfect For
- Thick-coated breeds — Huskies, Golden Retrievers, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Chow Chows, and any breed that struggles to regulate temperature indoors during hot summers
- Senior dogs — older dogs need joint protection as much as cooling relief. This mat delivers both without the hardness of tile floors they instinctively seek out
- Post-exercise recovery — active dogs that need to cool down quickly after runs, fetch sessions, or long walks before their heart rate and temperature return to normal
- Restless night sleepers — dogs that pace and reposition throughout warm nights looking for a cold surface finally have a consistent cool spot to settle on
- Travel and car journeys — folds over any car seat or boot surface, making it essential kit for summer road trips where car interiors heat up rapidly

Real results
“Our shepherd was absolutely miserable last summer. Panting all day, wouldn't settle, up and down all night. We got two of these — one for the living room, one for the bedroom. Within a day she had a spot she'd go to on her own. Slept through the night for the first time in weeks. ”

Every detail matters
What makes the ArcticPaw different
No gel — nothing to leak or ingest
Gel cooling mats leak when punctured and contain chemicals that are harmful if ingested by curious dogs. The ArcticPaw uses 100% non-toxic textile construction — no gel, no chemicals, nothing harmful. Safe for chewers, safe for puppies, safe for daily unsupervised use.
Works immediately — every time
Gel mats require refrigeration or time to recharge between uses. Passive cooling fabric works the moment your dog lies down — no prep, no waiting, no refrigerator space required. Available instantly for post-walk recovery or on a warm night when your dog needs it most.
Three colours for any interior
Available in Coffee, Dark Blue, and Soft Pink — designed to complement home interiors rather than look like a clinical medical accessory. A cooling mat that looks like it belongs in your living room.
Dual function — cooling and comfort
Most cooling solutions sacrifice comfort for temperature. The ArcticPaw delivers both — cool surface on top, cushioned joint protection underneath. Suitable as a daily bed replacement throughout the warmer months rather than an occasional emergency measure.
Brilliant that it’s machine washable. After a week of muddy paws, I threw it in the wash and it came out like new.
As soon as my Lab lays down, you can tell he gets instant relief. He stops panting almost immediately. Fantastic bit of kit.
Top marks for a product that keeps pets cool without any hidden risks or chemical components.
You can feel the drop in temperature as soon as you touch it. My dog is thoroughly obsessed.
Excellent for older dogs who feel the heat more in their joints. Provides lovely, cool comfort.
Lightweight, completely safe, and incredibly smart. Best design on the market.
No water leaking, no slimy gel, no cables. It’s completely low-maintenance and brilliant.
It feels cool the second you press your hand against it. Absolute magic for dogs that struggle with the heat.
My previous gel mat leaked everywhere when it got punctured. This ArcticPaw mat is pure fabric and so much safer.
It is cheap, I do not see any cooling effect for my dog.
Mein Hund bevorzugt eine kühlmatte mit Gel
Not very impressed , particularly for the price . Just a small thin nylon piece of material. . Very disappointed
Dogs absolutely love the cooling mats. I, at any given opportunity, will put one under my desk for my feet.
Hi Mary,
Thank you so much for your review! We are glad your dogs love the cooling mats and that you can have some benefit from it as well!
Stay cool!
My dog is not interested in it at all. It looks like a cheap version of other cooking mats. Would far rather have had one at a reduced price than get 2
Hi,
We're sorry your dog doesn't like it and that the product is not what you expected. We designed this product specifically for multi-use purpose. This means that we created it to be versitile in situations like in the car, in his favourite bed, at the sofa etc.
Cheap - absolutely not worth the money.
My dogs love lying on them
We are very happy to read your dogs love the ArcticPaw Cooling Mat!
We wish them a happy and cool summer!
Not as substantial as I expected. My dog has taken to chewing it and it now has a hole in the middle.
As with most things that come from China the images and descriptions are misleading. The picture shows a mat, whereas what is received is more of a blanket. Doesn't really keep my dog cool and folds over/crumples up when my dog lays on it and moves to get settled.
Would not recommend and although it was a buy one get one free offer. It's still not worth the money.
Seem a nice quality
Just waiting to use them when we get nice weather.
Good delivery service
Hi Pat,
Thank you for your review! We're happy to hear you're pleased with the quality of the cooling mat and our delivery service. We hope your dog enjoys staying cool and comfortable when the warmer weather arrives.
A total necessity for anyone with a short-nosed breed. Keeps him safe and cool.
Compact, functional, and very easy to look after. Every active dog owner needs one.
I love that there’s no gel inside. My puppy chews everything, so having a safe, chemical-free cooling mat gives me total peace of mind.
With the humid UK summers we've been getting, this mat is an absolute lifesaver for my thick-coated spaniel.
So easy to pack for day trips. It folds down flat and slips into my bag without taking up any room.
Unlike the old gel pads, I don't have to keep putting this in the fridge. It's just ready to use 24/7. Genius.
A quick spin in the washing machine removes all dirt and hair easily. Brilliant maintenance.
I was skeptical about how it works without ice, but the fabric is naturally ice-cool. My dog absolutely loves it.
No wires, no water, no fuss. Exactly what a busy pet owner needs in the summer.
I line the boot of my car with this mat for long journeys. It keeps the dog nice and cool on warm drives.
Eco-friendly and safe. No wires for them to trip over or chew through. Just natural cooling fabric.
Questions about the ArcticPaw Cooling Mat
How does it cool without gel or electricity?
The mat uses passive cooling technology — high-tech fibres engineered to conduct heat away from the body faster than air alone. When your dog lies on it, body heat transfers into the fabric and dissipates through the breathable mesh layer rather than building up under your dog. The result is a consistently cool surface that works continuously without any power source or preparation.
Does it need to be refrigerated between uses?
No — that's the key advantage over gel mats. Passive cooling fabric works immediately every time your dog lies down. There's no recharge period, no refrigerator space needed, and no waiting. It's ready for post-walk recovery, warm afternoons, and restless nights without any preparation at all.
Is it safe if my dog chews it?
Yes. The ArcticPaw uses 100% non-toxic textile construction — there is no gel, no chemical filling, and no electrical components. The materials are non-toxic and safe for dogs that chew or mouth their bedding. The reinforced scratch and claw resistant fabric also withstands digging and nesting significantly better than gel mat surfaces.
Which breeds benefit most?
Thick-coated breeds that struggle to regulate temperature in summers — Huskies, Golden Retrievers, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Chow Chows, and similar. Also highly beneficial for senior dogs who need joint protection alongside cooling relief, and for any breed that overheats quickly after exercise. Brachycephalic breeds like French Bulldogs and Pugs that struggle with heat regulation also benefit significantly.
How do I clean it?
Wipe down with a damp cloth for everyday surface cleaning. For a full clean, hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent and air dry flat — do not machine wash on a hot cycle as high heat can affect the cooling fabric performance. Do not tumble dry. The mat is ready to use again once fully dry.
Can I use it in the car?
Yes — it folds flat over any car seat or boot surface and stays in place during journeys. Cars heat up rapidly in summer and dogs in hot cars are at serious risk of heatstroke. Laying the ArcticPaw over the back seat or in the boot provides immediate cooling relief throughout the journey. Pair it with a window shade for maximum temperature control.
