Ancol offers products to help keep pets cool this summer. The ‘cool’ mat comes in three sizes and can help reduce the body temperature of a dog by up to seven degrees. The mat’s central core draws heat from the dog and turns from a solid to a liquid, keeping a dog cool for several hours, which it says is more efficient than traditional gel mats. A spokesman said: “This technology is relatively new to the pet industry but has been used by medical professionals for many years to control temperatures in humans.” Each mat is individually packed in its own display box, which protects the product and outlines its benefits.
