Frequently Asked Questions:

Do cooling beds work?

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.

What can I do to keep my dog cool during summer?

  1. Temperature: be conscious of the temperature outside and avoid exercising or playing with your pet during the hottest parts of the day. Ensure plenty of shade and fresh water is available at all times.
  2. Coat and body condition: your dog may have a thick or long coat, which is like wearing a woolly jumper. This can affect your dog's ability to cool down, so consider a trip to the groomer. Be mindful that overweight pets find it more difficult to cool down and are more vulnerable to heat stroke.
  3. Walking and car safety: never walk your dog on hot paths or roads, this can result in severe burns on their paw pads. If you cannot hold your hand on the ground for 5 seconds comfortably, it is too hot to walk your dog. Never leave your dog alone in the car, even for a few minutes.
  4. Refreshments: Adding a few ice cubes to your dog's water bowl or dog ice blocks will help keep your pet cool. To make doggy ice blocks, simply place a liquid treat or wet food in a freezer-safe mould and add water. In a few hours, you will have ice blocks that your dog will find refreshing and delicious.
