When the temperature rises we can change wardrobes before soaking up the sun.
Sadly, that's not an option for our four-legged friends - with the best we can normally manage to help them out being a bowl of water and some shade.
Which is why it's excellent news that you can now pick up a fun, pet-cooling mat for just £4.99 a B&M.
"The mat automatically cools when your pet sits on it, helping to keep them cool and comfortable in hot weather," B&M explains on its website .
The mats are available with watermelon, kiwi and orange designs - and are 60cm in diameter.

B&M points out the mats can also be used to help with allergies, heat stroke, skin conditions and post-surgery.
Although there is a warning - B&M recommends frequent checks for signs of wear and tear and if damage is spotted you need to stop using it.
Other options for keeping your pet cool at the store include pet cooling vests for £3.99, a pet cooling towel for £2.49 and stay-cool water bowl for £2.99.
And if your pet pooch is more of a sun lover, B&M has something for you too. With users of the Extreme Couponing and Bargains Facebook group spotting sun loungers designed for dogs on sale for £14.99 too.
