Choose a dog mat for every occasion
Providing your dog with a comfortable place to sleep is important to keep him or her comfortable and happy. Rather than just providing somewhere for your dog to sleep, there are many types of dog mats that have different purposes. These include heated mats, cooling mats, waterproof mats and raised dog beds – and they’re all available in one simple place, right here on eBay.
Heated dog mats
Heated dog mats are similar to the electric blankets that we have on our beds. They generally have a cord and a plug that you put into a power point. Once plugged in, the coils encased in the mat will warm up and provide a lovely heated surface for your pet to lie on. Generally, heated mats will have a waterproof outer and overheat protection.
Cooling dog mats
There are basically two types of dog cooling mat. One is filled with a non-toxic gel that absorbs the heat from your dog’s body. It is pressure activated so when your dog lies down, the gel absorbs excess heat. Once the dog gets up again, the gel recharges and cools down again.
The other type of cooling dog mat uses water to cool down your dog. Similar to a water bed, the mat is filled with cold water. The water absorbs the heat from your dog’s body to keep him or her cool. Bear in mind that these mats only work for a short period of time before they need to be cooled down again.
Waterproof dog mats
A waterproof dog mat is generally more hygienic because things like bacteria and moisture will not penetrate the outer layer of the mat. Waterproof mats are also far easier to clean. You can just hose them off. Plus, most are also machine washable.
These waterproof dog mats are also excellent for young puppies and older dogs who have the occasional accident. The urine will not soak through to the interior of the mat and is easily wiped away. This also reduces the risk of lingering odours.
Whatever type of dog mat you’re after, eBay has an abundance of choice available for all dog sizes and personalities. Start shopping today.
