Somewhere around the third heatwave of the year, most cat owners have the same realisation at roughly the same moment: their cat is flat out on the bathroom tiles, refusing to move, giving off the general energy of a sunbather who’s had quite enough sun, thank you.

A cooling mat for dogs with arthritis is a gel, phase-change, or water-filled pad that lowers surface temperature on contact, giving stiff, ageing joints a cooler, often more supportive place to rest during warm weather.
