As the weather warms up, we naturally spend more time outdoors. While soaking up the sun is enjoyable, it’s important to keep pets in mind on especially hot days this summer.
If your pet loves to spend time outside with you, a cooling dog bed can provide a comfortable place for them to relax and offer you peace of mind that they won’t overheat. Though, it’s important to know the signs of overheating to ensure safety for your pet. PetSmart has a variety of mats and beds, including a quick-cooling version that one shopper said is their dog’s “favorite spot in the house.”

The Top Paw cooling mat has a removable micro-bead insert that should be placed in the fridge prior to use. It only takes five minutes for it to reach a desirable temperature, but you can leave it in there for any amount of time. One person noted that the bed is “very durable,” while another shopper, who bought it for their German shepherd, said the “cooling piece comes out easily.” They added that it “stays cool for hours” even while in “70 plus-degree heat.”
Unlike other cooling pads, this version has a bolster to add extra support and comfort. It’s a larger mat, measuring 23 by 36 inches, making it an ideal option for one large dog, but it can also fit several small dogs. Another customer who has two maltese dogs said they “both fit on it and love it.”
One shopper who said they bought the cooling bed for their cat proved it can be used for other pets, too. The mat has been a “huge hit” for them, and they shared that it is “one of the best pet products” they’ve used.
At $25, this cooling bed is an affordable option to snag for summer. To shop for more outdoor dog beds from PetSmart, keep scrolling.
