Overview
Australian summers push indoor temperatures into the low 30s even with air conditioning running. Dogs and cats regulate body heat less efficiently than humans, and a warm floor offers no relief. The Waterproof Gel Pet Cooling Mat gives pets a pressure-activated cooling surface they can retreat to any time, without needing a power socket, refrigerator, or daily preparation. Made from waterproof PVC with a scratch-resistant surface, it suits indoor lounging, shaded outdoor areas, kennels, and travel.
What This Product Does
- Pressure-activated cooling — body weight triggers the gel inside the mat, absorbing heat from your pet's contact surface on demand; no electricity or refrigeration required
- Waterproof PVC surface — rated for indoor and outdoor shaded use; wipes clean with a damp cloth in under a minute
- Three size options — round medium (72 cm diameter), round large (80 cm diameter), rectangle medium (64 × 76 cm); suited to cats and small dogs through to large breeds
- Scratch and wear-resistant construction — durable enough for daily use on floors, carpet, or kennel bases without damaging the surface underneath
- Two designs — Palm Leaf and Starfish patterns available across round and rectangle formats
What Your Pet Will Experience
- Immediate contact cooling — the gel surface feels noticeably cooler than the surrounding floor within seconds of your pet settling onto the mat
- Firm, stable support — the filled mat holds shape under a pet's weight without bunching, pooling, or shifting, making it easy for older or larger animals to step on and off
- Lightweight and portable — easy to carry between rooms, fold flat for the car, or move to a shaded outdoor spot without tools or assembly
- Odour-neutral with basic care — the smooth, non-porous PVC surface resists the absorption of moisture and odour that fabric beds accumulate over a season
Who This Is For
- Dogs that seek out cool tiles or concrete floors in summer — gives them a designated cooling surface rather than the bathroom floor
- Brachycephalic breeds (French Bulldogs, Pugs, Bulldogs) and flat-faced cats (Persians, British Shorthairs) that overheat more readily than longer-snouted animals
- Older pets with reduced heat tolerance that need consistent access to a cool resting spot throughout the day
- Pet owners in Queensland, the Northern Territory, and Western Australia where summer temperatures regularly exceed 35°C even with fans running indoors
- Households without ducted air conditioning managing heat with a single-room split system or pedestal fans
- Car travel and camping — the mat requires no power, making it practical for road trips, caravan stays, and shaded outdoor rest areas
- People replacing improvised cooling methods such as frozen water bottles, wet towels, or ice packs placed near bedding
How It Works
- Place the mat flat on any surface — floor tiles, carpet, a kennel base, or a shaded outdoor area; no setup required.
- Your pet lies down and their body weight compresses the mat, activating the pressure-sensitive gel inside.
- The gel absorbs heat from your pet's contact surface, keeping that area cooler than the ambient floor for the duration of the rest.
- Once your pet moves off, the mat recharges at room temperature — typically 15–30 minutes in a cool indoor environment, longer in high ambient heat — and is ready for the next session.
How It Compares
| Feature | Gel Cooling Mat (this product) | Electric Cooling Mat | Elevated Mesh Mat | Improvised Cooling |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Power required | No | Yes — mains cord | No | No |
| Waterproof surface | Yes | Cover-dependent | No | No |
| Portable | Yes — no cord | Limited by cord length | Yes | Yes |
| Cooling duration | Pressure-activated; recharges in 15–30 min | Continuous while plugged in | Airflow-dependent only | 20–40 min before warm |
| Safe to leave unsupervised | Yes | Cord supervision advised | Yes | Spill and leak risk |
| Wipe-clean maintenance | Yes | Cover-dependent | No | No |
What This Replaces
Replaces improvised cooling that requires daily preparation: frozen water bottles that thaw and leak within 30–60 minutes, wet towels that soak surrounding bedding and develop odour, and ice packs that shift away from where the pet is lying. Also reduces the need to run air conditioning throughout the house — position the mat near a fan to extend the effective cooling area. At $99.99–$119.99, the one-off cost compares favourably with repeated preparation time or a veterinary heat-stress consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the cooling gel safe if the mat is accidentally punctured?
Gel pet cooling mats of this type use a water-based, non-toxic gel formulated for use in pet products. If a puncture occurs, move your pet away from the exposed gel and discard the mat. The gel is not intended for ingestion. For specific material safety certification details, contact support@petsuppliesaustralia.com.au before purchase.
How long does the cooling effect last per use?
The gel is active as long as your pet is resting on the mat and activating it with their body weight. Once they move off, the mat recharges at room temperature — typically 15–30 minutes indoors in a cool environment. In high ambient temperatures or direct outdoor sun, recharge time will be longer.
Does the mat need to go in the freezer or fridge before use?
No. The cooling mechanism is pressure-activated and works at room temperature without any pre-chilling. Placing it in the freezer is not required and may make the surface uncomfortably cold for some animals.
What size mat suits my dog?
As a general guide: cats and small dogs (under 10 kg) suit the round medium (72 cm diameter); medium dogs (10–25 kg) suit the rectangle medium (64 × 76 cm) or round large (80 cm diameter); large dogs (over 25 kg) will be most comfortable on the rectangle medium. When in doubt, choose the larger size — the mat can also be shared by two smaller pets resting together.
Can I leave it outside overnight?
The waterproof PVC surface handles outdoor conditions, but prolonged direct sun exposure and rain will shorten the mat's service life. For outdoor use, place the mat in a shaded, sheltered area and bring it indoors overnight. Avoid storing in temperatures above 40°C.
How do I clean the mat?
Wipe the surface with a damp cloth or a pet-safe antibacterial wipe after each use. For heavier soiling, use mild soapy water and allow the mat to air-dry fully before returning it to your pet. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or submerge.
Is it suitable for puppies and kittens?
Yes, the mat is appropriate for puppies and kittens. Supervise young animals — particularly puppies in an active chewing phase — to prevent punctures to the mat surface.

I tried them that really hot day we had and they worked well, we are going up the Flinders Ranges for Christmas and this is the main reason for purchasing the mats. Sometimes the dogs get up during the night and they go onto their cool mats.
The boy has arthritis another v gel matrices gives him good quality of rest on hot days in 🇹🇭 thailand
Our dog loves it, it really is cool. Could be larger, but it is great and print is lovely. Very 😊 happy.
We give this cooling mat 5 wet noses out of 5! Perfect for those hot summer afternoons. We especially love the raised edge, great for tired snouts.
Our 10 year old kelpie X staffie is obsessed and sleeps all night long undisturbed by the qld humid summer nights
My boy loves his cooling mat. It's good quality, and he fits on it perfectly. Definitely worth the money
The BEST cooling mat I’ve bought!! Exactly what it says it is!! Solid, easy to clean and all 7 of my dogs love it! It’s also a really cool design doesn’t look ugly 😂 Highly recommended
His starting to use it more now the weather is warming up
Works very well, the dogs really like them!
My golden loves it! Perfect for when he comes home hot and bothered walking. He’s older so doesn’t cope with the heat that well, this cooling mat is perfect
I actually bought initially what I thought would suit my retriever unfortunately it was too small. After helpful correspondence I found I could return here in adelaide to warehouse. In doing so the ladies are the returns centre couldn’t do enough to help me order a new size for my dog and received it within just over a week no charge involved. Charlie loves his new cooling mat he doesn’t deal with the heat he’s 12 and this was a game changer for him. Took a little get use to the actual feeling but he loves it now.
I bought this for what is predicted to be a hot summer coming up. So far I haven't used it, so I can't tell you how it performs - I'll tell you more later.
Beautifully made ideal cooling item for hot summer's days. Easy care.
Awesome product
Our little girl Elsa loves her cooling mat she’s on it all the time 😊
The mats look great and are actually cool. However the dogs do not choose to lie on them. Probably because they're used to soft and fluffy beds. But they will stay when we put them there and so seem to find some heat relief. They are quite squishy so definitely good on a a hard floor. Thanks! :)
Great product 👌
Our cat is loving her new bed with all our current high temps🙏Happy she is cooler in her bed thank you🙏
Cooling mat works well, puppy was more then happy to lay on it on 29 degree day, was still cool after 45 mins
I like the product but my dog didn’t.
Fantastic product, great quality, my dog loves his cooling mat always lays on this to get comfort from the heat. I would highly recommend this to any pet owner
Never received it But did get a refund
I wish mat was more comfortable for my dog...
Communication was excellent and dogs love them!
Sizing is great Great product for those hot summer days
My dog loves the cool feeling of it 😀
Great product my Dog loves it
My dog loves this bed, especially on the hot days we’ve been having.
Quick delivery great product. My dog Sadie loves her new bed . Sleeping great in this hot weather.
My dogs seem to like the beds, definitely a lot cooler for them than the traditional dog bed. Thank you
Exactly what we expected and our elderly pug loves it now
My Labrador loves the mat Well made , great design
She loves it when it gets hot she lays on it and when it's a little colder she pushes it off her ivory tower stacked beds lol to keep warm so it obviously works. She is much more content in the heat.
My dog is older and loves the cool mat, took him a couple of days to get use to it, now cant keep him off it especially in the warmer months, great product thank you.
Our elderly dog has trouble with the heat. He took to it straight away. It’s also brilliant because it is easy to clean when our dear old Border Terrier has an accident
It’s the first place my dogs go when they are hot
My 15 year old Spaniel, Milo loves his cooling mat. Thank you 🐶
Dogs love it they have one each but they like to share the same one
Dogs love it
