Overheating is dangerous for dogs. Discover why a cooling mat is essential for keeping your dog safe and cool during hot summer days.
☀️ The Summer Heat: A Risk for Every Dog
While you're enjoying the sun, your dog could be suffering. Dogs can only release heat to a limited extent through panting and their paws. Especially during a heatwave or on warm days above 25°C, your four-legged friend is at risk of overheating or even heatstroke .
Short-nosed breeds, older dogs, puppies, and dogs with thick coats are at particular risk.
🚨 Symptoms of Overheating in Dogs
Recognize these signals in time:
-
Excessive panting
-
Slow or unsteady gait
-
Drooling
-
Red or purple tongue
-
Vomiting or diarrhea
-
Loss of consciousness (in severe cases)
Prevention is better than cure — and that's where a cooling mat is invaluable.

✅ 7 Reasons Why a Cooling Mat is Essential
