The Pawtasy Dog Cooling Mat sits at number 10 in this guide and is the cheapest gel mat in it at £16.79. The pressure-activated gel is the same idea as the three mats ranked above it — a PVC-covered pad filled with non-toxic gel that cools on contact rather than in the freezer — but this one is a different product underneath: Pawtasy lists it as the M size at 65 x 50 cm, 1 cm thick and 1.6 kg, where the three 90 x 50 cm gel mats carry 2.2 kg, 2.25 kg and 2.18 kg. So the £16.79 buys a smaller sheet, and it is not the same mat sold cheaper.

The number that needs the most care on this listing is the rating. Pawtasy's page shows 4.1 out of 5 from 56 ratings, but the star breakdown underneath adds up to 100 — 64 five-star, 10 four-star, 10 three-star, 8 two-star and 8 one-star — so the same listing gives two different totals for the same score. There is only one promotional figure in the copy, a claim that the pillow version's 10-13 cm bolster boosts airflow by 40%, and the listing does not say how that was measured. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any test we have run.

## Questions people ask

**Does the Pawtasy mat need water, electricity or freezing?**

No. Pawtasy says the Shui Cool M-26 self cooling mat is pressure-activated and needs no water, electricity or pre-chilling: it absorbs body heat on contact and recharges itself.

**What size is this version?**

This page is the M size, listed at 65 x 50 cm, 1 cm thick and 1.6 kg. Pawtasy says the same mat is offered in sizes from S to XXL.

**Is the £16.79 a like-for-like saving on the other gel mats here?**

No. The Pawtasy M at 65 x 50 cm is the cheapest gel mat in this guide, but the others are 90 x 50 cm and weigh over 2.1 kg, so the lower price buys a smaller mat.

**What is the 40% airflow figure in the listing?**

It is attributed to the pillow version's 10-13 cm ergonomic bolster, which Pawtasy says boosts airflow by 40%. The listing does not state how the airflow was measured, and the flat version is described separately as a 100% unobstructed surface.

**Can the Pawtasy mat be used in a crate or a car?**

Pawtasy says it works as a liner for 20-48 inch pet crates and car seats, and that it is lightweight and foldable for indoor floors, sofas, gardens and travel.

**How is it cleaned?**

The listing describes a waterproof, scratch-resistant Oxford cloth surface that wipes clean with a damp cloth.

**Which pets is it aimed at?**

The M size is listed for medium and small breeds as well as cats — the listing names Pugs and Frenchies for the pillow version and says the range runs from tiny kittens to giant breeds.
