27 Chewy Products To Help Keep Your Pet Cool
A self-cooling gel mat, so when your pup wants to just lie out in the sun, they won't overheat. All it needs is 15 minutes without use, and it will chill itself all over again!
Promising review: "Lottie took right to this. She goes to it often throughout the day and evening to rest. She had surgery, and I believe the mat kept her cool and comfortable. I'm sure it helped with any inflammation. I leave it out for her, and it gets cool on its own. There is nothing I have to do to cool it down. I'm so glad I got the mat for her." —Carole Price: $49.99+ (available in two sizes)
A dog swimming pool since you and your furry bestie want to have a pool party and lounge together! The fold‑out PVC basin needs no inflating — just open, fill, and let the cool games begin!
Promising review: "My large breed puppy LOVES her puppy pool! During the recent heat wave, she would go straight for it and splash around on her potty outs. It drains well, is sturdy, and just the right size for her to splash and cool off. Love it!!!!!" —PAdogandbirdmomPrice: $39.99
Or a sprinkler toy that your dog can step on to activate the water, because this will keep them entertained for hours while you relax and get a tan.
Promising review: "My boy loves the hose, took him a few days to figure this out, but once he did, he cannot get enough. I'm glad I went with the metal one, plastic would have never stood a chance! Would 100% recommend." —Erin Price: $44.95 ($59.99)
A set of four colorful collapsible silicone bowls you can easily clip to your backpack when you're out and about and need to give your doggy some ice-cold water.
Promising review: "These are awesome! I use them when I'm traveling with my dog or going on hikes. They fit easily in my bag (I was using Tupperware before!) and dry super fast. She's about 80 lbs, so I sometimes fill the bowl twice, but no problems otherwise! I like the multipack as I can rotate which ones I'm using, and I like having extras anyway. Awesome purchase!" —FionaBPrice: $11.41 (also available in a three-pack)
A cooling bandana since your pup wants to ~look~ cool while also ~feeling~ cool. Just soak it in water, and your doggy has a fashionable accessory that also keeps the heat at bay.
Promising review: "First off, it looks great in person, and the material is high quality. Nemo loves it. And if you follow the included instructions, it fits great. If you don't follow the instructions, it will be too big. We get tons of compliments. And on top of that, it can be soaked in water to cool off on hot days! Great product." —JeremyPrice: $14.99+ (available in sizes S–L and one other style)
A UPF cooling vest, so when you take your doggy out for a long walk, you can help prevent heat stroke.
Promising review: "My older gal has never tolerated heat well, but she loves to lounge around in the grass all summer. She also has some hair thinning on her back, and I've been worried about her getting sunburned. This shirt was the perfect solution! It's lightweight and airy, feels cooler to the touch even before you add water." —RebeccaPrice: $18.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in five colors)
An elevating cooling bed, because the ground outdoors can be extra hot, especially when it's darker and absorbs more of the sun's rays. With this, your fur baby can join in on summer fun without getting overheated.
Promising review: "This bed is made well. The frame is heavy and strong. This is not blowing away! Will buy again." —SusanPrice: $39.52 (originally $54.99; available in four colors and two sizes)
A super handy water bottle if your pup gets thirsty while you're walking and needs a sip of water. This is so handy because you just have to squeeze the bottle to fill the bowl at the top!
Promising review: "This water bottle is the best design I've seen. It's not too large (i.e., not too heavy when full). There's a snout-sized bowl attached to the bottle. There's an easily turned plastic plug to keep the water from leaking. When the plug is open, the water can be squeezed out into the attached bowl. Once the dog has finished drinking, you simply turn the plug gently, and it's sealed. I like the lavender color too!" —Linda Price: $21.99+ (available in three sizes and three colors)
A giant cooling flip-flop perfect for bringing to the beach. This way, while you're tanning and reading your favorite summer read, you don't have to worry about your furry companion getting too hot.
Price: $39.99
A gaitor you soak in water since, as I am writing this, it is 97 degrees outside and I can barely stand being out in the heat. If I can't, a dog who physically can't sweat probably can't either!
Promising review: "We live in the southeast, and the summer heat is uncomfortable even when I walk my dog in the evenings. I bought my Yorkie size x-small/small, which fits him perfectly. It's also the correct length for my dog. It's not too long, nor does it interfere with his walking. It also appears to be well-made." —Celia Price: $6.99 (available in sizes XS–L and in three colors)
A cooling wrap because your pup absolutely LOVES running around in the backyard, even when it's unbearably hot out. This will help them stay cool in the scorching summer sun.
Promising review: "This thing is a lifesaver during the hot months since we don't have AC. It works so well for hours on end, and it's perfectly designed that my pup can comfortably and safely sleep in it on super hot nights. I keep one in the house and the car at all times, so we're never without it. It's really easy to put on and take off, plus it's the cutest one I've found!" —KesiaPrice: $28.51 (originally $47; available in six sizes and two colors)
An adorable cooling bucket hat complete with a UPF 45 made of breathable, light fabric, so while it shades their little face, their heads don't get overheated.
Promising review: "I have Pomeranians, which equals lots of fur. My boys love to be out on the water, kayaking, paddle boarding, and boating, but they get overheated so fast. This sunvisor is absolutely perfect! Fits their little heads way better than any hat I have bought for them, and you can wet the visor to help keep them cool. We are ready for summer. Highly recommend! Need one in every color." —TinaGet it from Chewy for $9.99+ (available in three sizes and two colors).
A no-zip pet stroller because sometimes, it's just too hot for your pup's paws on the hot cement, and they deserve to be carted around like royalty to surveil their kingdom.
Promising review: "I wasn't sure really what to expect, as all this ~small spoiled dog stuff~ is new to me, LOL. To start, when it arrived, I was happy I only had to put the wheels on, and there wasn't any real assembly required. Right away, I knew I loved this. It's perfect for our 18-pound Boston terrier. He has plenty of room to move and turn around. I love the screen, and he can see everything, and I can see him. I'm very happy! I can't wait to hit the flea markets and fairs with our fur baby!" —MontysmomPrice: $104.99 (originally $144.99, available in three colors)
A cooling plastic water bowl that features an inner gel core and double-walled insulation to keep your pup's water cold for as long as 15 hours!
Promising review: "It's just the right shape for our dog. She seems to prefer it over other bowls we have for her, as we keep water for her inside and outside our home. I definitely recommend it." —Charlene Price: $20.19 (originally $34.99)
A cooling blanket if your pup is the Commander in Chief of Naps and wants to cuddle up comfortably.
Promising review: "This is the first cooling anything we've bought for our pug that works! We put it at the bottom of our bed for her and it's nice on our legs too! Wish we could get a human-sized one to cover the whole bed!" —Amanda Price: $35.94 (available in sizes S–XL and in four colors)
A water-resistant cooling vest because it can keep them nice n' cool when it's super humid outside and also acts as a raincoat when it's raining.
Promising review: "I used this for the first time hiking in 80+ weather in the dry desert, and it made a big difference for my 17-pound terrier mix. I was able to keep it wet at creek crossings, and the trail was mostly in the sun, and he did very little panting and did not try and hide in the shade of bushes as he's done in the past. When I put my hand between his back and the coat, he felt cool. I was amazed and now carry it in my day pack as frequently, it's cool out at the start of a hike." —VeraPrice: $39.95 (originally $41.99, available in sizes 12–28 and in five colors)

And a snuggly bed that has micro-gel beads inside, designed to absorb your doggy's body heat while they're catching some ZZZZZs.
Promising review: "My 17-year-old normally sleeps in a donut-shaped bed during the day. Unfortunately, it's summertime, and even with fans and air conditioning, she's been very unsettled and uncomfortable. I ordered this bed to see if it would help, and she seems a lot more relaxed, and she's not getting as hot as she was in her other bed." —Jodi Price: $42.99 (originally $67.99; available in sizes medium–jumbo plus and in three colors)
An inflatable ramp you can put in your pool so your furry bestie can easily get in and out without getting panicked.

A stainless-steel 10-liter water fountain complete with a filter that keeps water clean for up to three weeks. This way, your pup is never dehydrated, especially when it's incredibly hot out. Plus, it has an app, so you can control the water flow!
Promising review: "Time saver! I've always wanted an automatic water dispenser, but the ones I see in stores are so small. I have two Shelties, and the larger one drinks a ton of water! I would have to fill his bowl several times, even though I bought an extra-large bowl. Came across this automatic water dispenser, and the size is amazing! Large enough for both my dogs for several days. The style is sleek, and I absolutely love that I can control it with an app. I can set it on constant flow or intermittent to whichever setting I want. It was extremely easy to set up, and the instructions were very clear. The bowl is so large that filling it with water took longer than the actual setup time!" —Jing Price: $59.99
A fun, interactive ice treats system — simply fill up the molds with water, bone broth, apple juice, or whatever your pup prefers. Once the liquid is frozen in the freezer, add the chilly treats to the bowl and let your pup have fun trying to eat them.

Promising review: "My 11-year-old blue Doberman loves this playsuit!!! She has alopecia, so her trunk is practically hairless. This playsuit is very comfortable. It is lightweight and stretchy, so it moves with her. The material keeps her cool and protects her skin. She has always worn fleece long-johns in the fall, winter, and spring. Now, we have lightweight 'short-johns' for the summer!" —KaceyPrice: $14.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in two colors)
Some ice cream for your pooch if you want to spoil them with a little treat when it's hot as H-E-L-L outside. It comes in a variety of flavors, including carob, maple bacon, birthday cake, and more, so you're sure to find one that suits your fur baby's taste!
Promising review: A great treat for a hot day. Each of the flavors has been a hit, especially Birthday Cake! Needless to say, we will order more." —Marilyn Price: $7.49 (available in five flavors)

A natural paw balm because the asphalt can be incredibly hot in the summer, and this stuff helps create a protective barrier to help prevent your baby's toe beans from burning.
Promising review: "We live in a condominium complex that hires snow plowers to do our parking lots and sidewalks. Unfortunately, they salted everything heavily once the initial plowing was finished. Every dog we've had in the 28 years we've lived here starts out their walks so frisky and happy, and five minutes into it, they're lifting paws and stopping due to the salt, which super-cools the ice, and consequently their poor little paws. One of my friends found this product and used it every winter with her dog, and always said how effective it was. So I thought I would buy a tin and try it. Yup! It's like magic! I work a small amount on each pad and in between her toes, and we're good to go! It's a reasonably priced product, and I highly recommend trying it!" —MaryPrice: $15.99+ (originally $16.99+, available in three sizes)
A misting fan since your pup loves hanging out in the back yard all year round, even when it reaches triple digits on the thermometer. This will help them stay cool while they lounge.

A sprinkler cot if your pup is a little apprehensive to get in the pool, but could still benefit from having some nice, chilly water on them.
Price: $54.99
