The mat changed colour. My tongue stopped panting. I may never leave. 👇

Rywell nailed summer dog naps—Rottie mums, what if your lounge wasn’t the coolest spot?

Beat the Heat with the Best Dog Cooling Mat for Summer Comfort

It’s 2PM. The sun is scalding the backyard pavers, I’ve belly-flopped in every shade puddle I can find, and you’re still asking if I look warm? Hooman, I’m basically one paw away from joining a nudist colony just to stay cool. So when the Rywell Dog Cooling Mat landed on my patch of turf—and my belly—I had one question: where has this frosty miracle been all my life?

Before Rywell: Floor Flopping & Fridge Fantasies

I used to sprawl on cool tiles like a splooting sea lion, hoping the kitchen floor would save me. Newsflash: it didn’t. Melty tongue, pant-o-rama, and moody side-eyes from the hooman when I left drool stripes on the hallway rug. Not ideal.

Then came Rywell. Featuring Arc-Chill fabric straight from Japan (yes, I Googled it with my snoot), this mat lowers your dog’s body temp by 3–5°C. One belly-down moment later and I went from overheated meatloaf to blissed-out ice cube with ears.

Rywell Cooling Mat: What’s Actually Cool About It?

  • Self-Cooling Magic: No electricity, no fridge-prep, just roll it out and boom—cool city.
  • Color-Changing Cool Factor: The mat literally changes colour! When it lightens, it’s actively absorbing heat. Science meets sorcery.
  • Non-Toxic and Safe: If I chew it (look, it happens), I won’t end up at the vet. No chemicals, no drama.
  • Versatile & Travel-Ready: Folds up light, perfect as a car seat cover, kennel mat, or lounge upgrade.
  • Machine Washable: Because muddy paws don't take summers off. Sling it in the wash, air dry and it’s good to go.

I Tested It Like a Real Dog Would...

First, I stood on it casually. Then I flopped on it dramatically. Next came the official Paw Knead Test™—10/10, would knead again. After one hour of backyard baking, I re-planted myself on the Rywell and felt like I’d booked a spa treatment under a shady tree. The tail wag was involuntary.

"Used to flop like roadkill on the tiles. Now I nap like royalty on cold clouds." — Thor

I even took it on a weekend road trip. Laid it over the car boot mat—no slip, no stink, no overheating. Handy particles at the base stop it sliding, and the foldability? Hello, carry-on ready paw-sentials!

But Thor... Do All Rotties Need This?

Do we have thick coats? Big bodies? Emotional support drool when it’s hot? Precisely. Rotties (and other large pups) heat up faster and cool down slower—simple physics, even for a dog who licks windows.

And let’s be honest, if your dog child’s snoozing looks more like a sausage roll cooking on hot turf, it’s time to rethink their summer setup.

The Rywell isn’t just a mat—it’s an upgrade. From sweaty flops to chill naps, from pant-a-thons to peaceful dozing sessions, it makes the biggest summer shift since Mum discovered cupholders for doggy puppuccinos.

What the Hoomans Say

One vet tech pup-parent said, “Our lab panted less and stayed relaxed longer—especially after walks. Plus, no toxic gel to worry about if he starts chewing.” Another mentioned the colour-change tech helped her gauge when and where to place the mat. Smart hoomans. I'm impressed.

So Should You Get One?

If your dog is part furnace, hates heat, and deserves comfort (spoiler: they all do), this is a no-brainer. The Rywell Cooling Mat is pawfect for nappers, travellers, car snoozers, porch watchers, fluffy cuddle monsters and even the occasional ice cube thief (guilty 🐾).

Final Woof

Your dog’s summer shouldn’t feel like a punishment. Fix it with one comfy, clever, colour-shifting rug that speaks fluent chill. Honestly? I used to think summer naps were a chore. Turns out I just needed the right mat under my butt.

Stay frosty. 🐶
