Rosewood Cool Down Foldable Dog Pool
Just because it’s a heatwave doesn’t mean it can’t be fun for your overheating pooches. Fill them up a paddling pool and let them have a fun, cooling splash. Just be sure to keep a towel on hand, so they don’t leave pawprints throughout the house.
The no-inflate, fortified plastic pool from Pets at Home, prevents spills and punctures. Easy to empty and store, ideal for travel.

A cooling mat could well be your pet's new favourite chill‑out spot, activating its refreshing coolness the moment your furry pal plops down.
The best part, no fridge, no fuss, just instant “aaaah” vibes thanks to the safe, non‑toxic cooling gel inside, and when life happens (muddy paws, drool, biscuit crumbs and all), the easy‑wipe surface makes cleanup a breeze, keeping their go‑to cooling mat fresh, tidy, and ready for endless summer snoozing in style.
