PSA: Paddling pools with inbuilt sprinklers designed especially for dogs are now a thing.
It’s no secret that the UK is currently in the grips of a much-needed heatwave – the bank holiday weekend saw temperatures soar to highs of 24.5 degrees celsius, and it isn’t set to cool down anytime soon.
Yet while most of us Brits revelled in this rare spell of sunshine – beer gardens and local parks were busier than ever over the weekend – our poor dogs weren’t as appreciative.

Admittedly, most dogs enjoy an hour or so of basking in the sun, but it’s no secret that they take a lot longer to cool down then their owners do.
So a helping hand is often required, mainly in the form of a refreshing bowl of cold water or a tactical spray of the gardening hose.
And now, there’s a product that will do just that.
Introducing the Dog Fountain Splash Mat – an inflatable paddling pool with sprinklers attached so your fur baby can stay cool while having hours of summer fun.
Big Ralph
The fountain has been made a reality by dog retailer, Big Ralph, which offers a whole range of dog-friendly products such as dog safety car seats, dog cooling vests and even memory foam dog sofas.
And as for their latest product, the fountain mat is perfect for every dog breed out there – measuring in at 150cm in diameter, pets of any size can enjoy it.
Another bonus is that each fountain mat is environmentally friendly and completely safe for your pup, big or small.
And while it usually costs £50.99 to get your hands on, you can now bag it for half that price at just £25.99. Bargain!
