Aqua Coolkeeper cooling mat

Sensitive to heat

Dogs have virtually no sweat glands. That means that they can only try to regulate body temperature through panting or by sweating through their paw pads. Dogs can only lose only a small amount of excess body heat this way. This means that dogs are prone to overheating, or worse, suffering a heat stroke, which can lead to permanent damage to organs, a coma, or in severe cases even death.

Cooling gel

Submerging the Aqua Coolkeeper cooling mat in water transforms the specially developed HydroQuartz into an active cooling gel. This HydroQuartz gel absorbs your dog's or cat's excess body heat and evaporates it for immediate and continuous cooling. The cooling effect lasts for up to 5 days (actual effects depend on the circumstances).

Immersion Time

Please note: Take the product out of the packaging, hold it under water and knead it occasionally. Each Aqua Coolkeeper has a maximum immersion time, and a maximum thickness. These are stated on the white label that is attached to the product. Do not exceed these limits as there is a risk that the HydroQuartz crystals can leak through the seams. The cooling mat has a maximum immersion time of 45 minutes. The Aqua Coolkeeper absorbs the coolness of the water, but hardly absorbs any water. This means that the thickness hardly changes.

Temperature

After immersion (and possible drying) the product will not feel ice-cold to the touch, as this would be unpleasant for the animal. Used correctly, the gel will draw sufficient heat from the animal which will be disposed of via evaporation. The product can be placed in the fridge if further cooling is required. However, it is strongly recommended to remove the product from the fridge for a few minutes prior to use to allow the temperature sensitive Aqua Coolkeeper to adjust, so it is not too cold for your pet, as your pet cannot tell you.

[b]Please note:[/b After you have submerged the Aqua Coolkeeper in the water for the first time, you may notice small gel particles appearing along the seams. This is not a manufacturing defect of your Aqua Coolkeeper product. The product may push out small pieces of the cooling crystals that are hiding in the seams. If you see any of these gel particles on your product after soaking, simply wipe it off with a towel. This can occur after the first or second immersion. Once the gel particles are wiped off, they don't come back. The gel is 100% non-toxic.

What if the Aqua Coolkeeper does not meet your requirements?

If we find that the returned product is used, stained, contains animal hair, smells or has been washed after use, we cannot return the product to you. Once immersed, the HydroQuartz crystals are activated and the product will no longer be in a new state. In this event, it will be donated to a charity (local shelter). As we are often confronted with Aqua Coolkeeper products that are returned in a less than new condition, we have to apply these rules for fitting and/or returning products.
