Dogs love to play in the sun, but they’re not as heat-proof as they look. Overheating can creep up fast—and when it does, it’s dangerous. Here's what you need to know, and how ChillPup™ Cooling Mat can help protect your pup all summer long.
Yes, dogs pant to cool down. But if your pup is panting like they just ran a marathon - even if they’ve been lying around - that’s a red flag. Heavy, shallow, or rapid panting is usually the first sign that their body’s struggling to regulate heat.
What to do: Move them to shade or indoors. Offer water. Let them lie on a cool surface (we’ll get to that in a sec).
Drooling is normal for some breeds (hello, bulldogs), but a sudden increase—especially if it’s thick and sticky—isn’t cute anymore. It’s your dog’s way of trying to cool off… and failing.
What to do: Get them out of direct sunlight, gently wipe away drool, and help them hydrate.
Dogs are usually pretty expressive. If they seem extra tired, floppy, or uninterested in treats (yikes), they might be overheated. Heat drains energy fast—especially in high-humidity environments.
What to do: Help them lie down somewhere cooler. Offer water and monitor closely. Don’t force movement.
In severe cases, dogs may seem dazed, confused, or even have seizures. If it’s reached this point, they’re in serious danger, and immediate medical attention is the only option.
What to do: Act fast. Time is critical. Call your vet or emergency clinic while cooling them down en route.

After two gel mats that leaked, I was skeptical. But this has been amazing for my elderly goldie who struggles with heat. Machine washable is a HUGE plus!

My Husky loves it
Living in Arizona, this is a lifesaver. My Husky actually stopped her excessive summer shedding once we got this. Cooler dog = less stress shedding!
