Should You Get a Cooling Pad for Your Dog? - PetsFoodNutrition Cooling pads, unlike many heating pads, are not powered by electricity. Instead, they absorb heat from your dog’s body with water or non-toxic gels. They’re easy to move around and travel with because of this, and they’re also safe for your dog to wear for as long as they like. Then, when your dog gets up, the material “recharges,” releasing any accumulated heat into the air and providing a cool surface for your dog to return to.
