Nobleza Dog Cooling Mat Large, 110x70cm, Blue

The Nobleza dog cooling mat is a blue 110 x 70 cm gel mat priced at £21.99, rated 4.2 out of 5 from 4,306 ratings, and it takes the number one spot in this guide. It is not the same size as the 90 x 50 cm mats the rest of the guide compares — 110 x 70 cm is just over 70% more surface area — and it costs less than two of those three. It also carries the best seller rank the listing gives, 2nd in Dog Bed Mats.

The finding on this listing is what it does not say. The guide's four gel mats each promise a fixed temperature drop — 7 to 9 degrees on three of them, 5 to 10 degrees on the fourth — and none explains how that was measured. The Nobleza claims a pressure-activated non-toxic gel that absorbs the dog's body heat and stops there; it puts no number on the cooling at all. Its own specs disagree in two places: thickness appears as 1.5 cm in the item dimensions and as 2 cm in the size field, and the item weight is given as 4.12 kg where the other gel mats in the guide are listed between 2.18 kg and 2.25 kg. The care instructions, according to the listing, are supplied in Spanish. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any test we carried out.
