Key Features & B2B Value
Two clearly separated product structures prevent water-filled and ready-filled gel claims from being mixed across SKUs.
Four confirmed water-filled sizes support a more useful whole-body fit guide for small through large dogs.
Large dual-plug fill port gives the water-filled model a visible use-and-care feature for listings and instructions.
Waterproof wipe-clean surfaces address daily hair, drool and paw-mark cleaning concerns.
Heat-sealed perimeter and reinforced PVC directions support a stronger durability story without claiming chew-proof performance.
Selected gel models include a textured grip bottom for more stable placement on smooth indoor floors.
Foldable flat formats and multiple prints support seasonal displays, e-commerce bundles and private-label assortment planning.
Clear safety, sizing and storage instructions can reduce misuse, leakage complaints and avoidable returns.
The water-filled PVC model uses a wide opening with an inner plug and outer cap. The larger access point makes filling, emptying and checking the closure easier than a narrow valve. For wholesale programs, the final instruction sheet should state the fill range for each size and show how both closures are seated before the mat is placed on the floor.
The water-filled line includes 30 x 40, 40 x 50, 50 x 60 and 60 x 90 cm. Suggested water quantities range from 500-600 g for the smallest mat to 2,100-2,500 g for the largest. Our size guidance also provides pet-weight and body-length ranges, but pet owners should select from the dog’s resting position and usable mat area, not weight alone.
The ready-filled model uses a sealed soft gel core between reinforced outer layers. It is supplied as a complete mat and does not use the water-fill port shown on the PVC water model. Keeping these two constructions in separate SKUs helps retail teams avoid conflicting instructions about filling, cooling reset and storage.
The water-filled PVC mat is waterproof on both sides and can be rinsed or wiped after contact with hair, drool and paw marks. The sealed surface supports quick daily care, while reversible print placement provides two usable faces. The closure and seams should still be inspected before each use because waterproof construction does not make a damaged mat leak-proof.
Selected gel-mat construction combines a waterproof outer layer, cooling gel core and textured grip bottom. The grip layer is a model-specific feature for smoother indoor floors, not a universal claim for every cooling mat. Buyers should confirm the base texture, surface material and finished SKU before applying anti-slip wording to a listing.
The reinforced textured PVC surface is developed for normal paw contact, turning and repeated wiping. This gives the line a clearer durability position than a thin disposable-looking pad. Scratch-resistant does not mean claw-proof or chew-proof, so the product should remain a supervised comfort accessory for pets that do not bite or dig at bedding.
Cooling mats are not chew-proof. The reinforced surface can improve resistance to routine paw contact, but determined biting, digging or sharp claws can puncture the outer layer and expose water or gel. Clear supervision and stop-use instructions answer a frequent owner concern and help retailers avoid unsupported bite-test claims.
The waterproof surface can be wiped with a damp cloth or rinsed when the selected model’s care instructions allow it. Clean seams, corners and the fill-port area carefully, then dry the mat fully before folding or storage. This directly addresses buyer concerns about odor, residue and mold during seasonal storage.
The water-filled line includes blue polar-bear, blue snowflake and pink play prints, with reversible printed surfaces on the water-filled models. Archova can review custom color, print, label and packaging directions after the cooling structure and size mix are fixed. Print changes should not alter the model-specific fill, gel, seam or care instructions.

Select the Cooling Structure Before Customizing
Water-filled and ready-filled gel mats use different cores, use instructions, weights and packaging. Archova begins with the confirmed model, then reviews feasible size, surface, print and branding changes against tooling, MOQ and packing requirements.
| Customization Area | Available Direction |
|---|---|
| Cooling Structure | Choose a water-filled PVC model or a ready-filled gel model; specifications remain separate. |
| Size Mix | Use the four standard water-filled sizes or review model-specific custom dimensions. |
| Surface Material | Review PVC thickness, texture and finish on compatible constructions. |
| Bottom Direction | Textured grip bottoms can be reviewed on suitable gel structures. |
| Print and Color | Blue polar-bear, blue snowflake and pink play directions are shown; custom artwork and color matching are subject to approval. |
| Branding | Product labels, warning labels, care labels and approved exterior logo positions are available for private-label programs. |
| Instruction Content | Model-specific filling, cleaning, supervision and storage instructions can be developed for the target market. |
| Retail Packaging | Header cards, belly bands, cartons or other retail presentation can be reviewed after the packed format is fixed. |
Packaging Matched to Water-Filled or Ready-Filled Construction
An unfilled water mat and a ready-filled gel mat have different packed weights and leakage risks. Carton dimensions, units per carton and protective materials are therefore confirmed after the model, size mix, fill state, folding method and retail presentation are fixed.
| Packaging Item | Archova Order Direction |
|---|---|
| Water-Filled Mat | Packed unfilled unless the final order specification states otherwise; protect the port, cap and folded seams. |
| Ready-Filled Gel Mat | Protect sealed edges and surface from puncture, pressure and sharp carton contents. |
| Folding Method | Confirmed by model so repeated folds do not concentrate stress on ports or sealed edges. |
| Carton Dimensions | Provided with the final model- and size-specific quotation. |
| Units per Carton | Confirmed from packed weight, size mix and retail packaging. |
| Instructions | Include the correct filling, use, cleaning, supervision and dry-storage directions for the selected structure. |
| Private-Label Packaging | Available subject to artwork, warning text, label, quantity and carton requirements. |
"We nearly launched the water and gel versions under one listing, which would have created a mess around the filling instructions. Archova separated the specifications and packaging before sampling. The four-size water chart was the most useful part for our sales team, and we kept the gel model as the higher-convenience option instead of pretending they worked in exactly the same way."

"Cooling mats usually generate the same questions for us: will it leak, can the dog chew it, and how long will it stay cool? We put those limitations directly into the listing and used the port, seam and cleaning photos instead of exaggerated temperature graphics. Support tickets were easier to answer because the page gave realistic use instructions rather than one universal time guarantee."

"The prints brought people to the summer display, but the practical details sold the product. Staff could show the large water port, explain that the mat must be used under supervision, and point buyers to the correct size. We also added a dry-storage note after seeing how seasonal mats can develop odor when packed away damp. That small instruction was worth including."
