Cooling dog beds for comfortable rest in hot weather
When the house gets warm, dogs don’t “push through it.” They sprawl on tile, move from spot to spot, and search for the coolest surface they can find. A cooling dog bed gives them that cooler resting place on purpose—so they can settle faster, rest longer, and stop overheating just from lying on a thick, heat-trapping cushion.
This collection is built for real summer comfort. You’ll find cooling dog beds made with breathable dog bed materials that let heat escape, plus options like a cooling mat for dogs that’s lightweight, quick to set up, and easy to move from room to room. Some styles focus on airflow and moisture-wicking fabrics, others use cooling surfaces designed to feel noticeably cooler to the touch. Either way, the goal is the same: a bed that feels better in warm weather than a standard plush cushion.
Let’s be blunt: many “soft” beds trap heat. That’s great in winter, but in summer it can be the reason your dog can’t get comfortable. A cooling pet bed helps solve that by giving your dog a cooler contact surface—especially helpful for dogs with thick coats, high activity levels, or homes that stay warm in the evening.
Cooling beds are also a smart choice for travel: in the car, on patios, in crates, or wherever your dog ends up resting during hot months. If you want one thing that upgrades summer comfort immediately, this is it.
How to choose the right cooling bed for your dog
The best cooling dog bed depends on where you’ll use it, how hot your space gets, and how your dog sleeps.
1) Cooling bed vs cooling mat
-
Cooling dog bed: better if your dog wants cushioning plus cooling comfort—great for longer naps and everyday use.
-
Cooling mat for dogs: best for portability and quick setup. Ideal for moving between rooms, travel, crates, or placing on top of an existing bed.
2) Choose the cooling approach that fits your routine
-
Breathable / airflow-focused beds: great for everyday summer use and dogs that prefer a softer surface.
-
Cooling surface / gel cooling dog bed styles: useful when you want a noticeably cooler feel on contact (especially in hotter rooms).
Pick the simplest option you’ll actually use daily—consistency matters more than gimmicks.
3) Size and sleeping position
-
Curlers: choose a bed with enough space to curl without being cramped.
-
Sprawlers: go bigger. Spreading out is a dog’s natural way to cool down.
4) Cleanability matters in summer
Warm months mean more outdoor time, more dust, more shedding, and sometimes damp fur. If you can, choose a bed with a removable, washable cover or a mat you can wipe down easily.
Quick winning setup: a breathable cooling dog bed for your dog’s main sleep spot + a portable cooling mat for wherever your dog follows you (kitchen, office, patio).
