Coolaroo Elevated Pet Bed

Elevated beds are very effective at helping dogs cool down in warm weather because they allow air flow to reach the underside of the dog. The Coolaroo Elevated Pet Bed is one of the most well-known and loved elevated dog beds, and it's love is earned. It's made with HDPE fabric, which is the breathable material that shade structures are made from. This material is highly durable (it can withstand sun, rain and snow) and it's punctured with small holes, allowing air to reach the belly of your dog. Coolaroo beds are easy to clean - just hose it off with water - and they are mold and mildew resistant, so your dog can hop on it after swimming in the pool. These beds are also much more supportive for your dog than lying on the ground, because their weight will be distributed evenly rather than being concentrated in the joints. The Coolaroo bed comes in small, medium and large, and there are four colors to choose from. With 17,500 ratings on Amazon, you can't go wrong with a Coolaroo.

Green Pet Shop Premium Cooling Pet Pad

Cooling pads are another great option for cooling dogs down in the summer. This is especially true if your dog prefers to lie on the ground rather than on a bed (and if you only have carpets inside your home). The Green Pet Shop Premium Cooling Pet Pad is made with a non-toxic cooling gel formula that doesn't require freezing: the gel is activated by your dog's weight and heat, and the pad remains cool for up to three hours. If it gets warm after this, take it away from your dog and let it sit for 20 minutes. After this, it'll be ready to use again. The Green Pet Shop Premium Cooling Pet Pad comes in five sizes from small to extra large, and it has 2,300 ratings on Amazon. Note that if your dog scratches or chews, gel pads are probably not the best option for you.

DogBed4Less Premium Gel Cooling Memory Foam Pet Mat Topper

If your dog doesn't feel comfortable on an elevated bed or a cooling gel pad, or just has a bed they really love, the best option for you is to get a DogBed4Less Premium Gel Cooling Memory Foam Pet Mat Topper. This 1.2 inch thick mat is made with gel-infused memory foam and is designed to sit on top of your dog's bed. Although this mat could sit directly on the floor, it wouldn't provide the same comfort and support that a traditional dog bed would. The top of this mat is faux fleece and the under side has a layer of waterproof SBR rubber anti-slip material to protect from any spills. If your dog is precious about change and won't go near a new bed or cooling mat, the DogBed4Less Gel Cooling Mat Topper is a great option, as your dog probably won't notice it's there - but they'll definitely cool down.
