You’re probably already aware that dogs don’t have the ability to sweat as a means of cooling their bodies, in the same way that humans do. So because of their unique physiology that does not allow them to cool down by sweating, our furry friends are much more susceptible to suffering from heatstroke. This Kool Collar is cleverly designed to use melting ice to act as a sort of artificial perspiration to aid in help keeping your dog cool. It’s super easy to use, very durable, reusable and available in multiple sizes too.

Another way to help keep your pet cool when the temperature rises, is by providing a cool place for them to sleep with this Cool Pet Pad.  What’s unique about this pet mat is that it doesn’t require water or electricity since it’s activated by weight or pressure, so the cooling effect begins as soon as you pet lies down.  Plus it’s available in 4 different sizes, so it can easily fit into standard sized beds and crates. How cool is that?
