This stone helps your animal to maintain its body temperature. Due to the natural properties of the stone, it cools down when placed indoors or in the shade and retains this coolness for a long time. You can put the stone in the fridge for extra cooling before use. Your animal can lie down on this and therefore cool off during hot days. Due to the rubber feet, the stone remains firmly in place and does not slip. The stone is easy to wipe off with a cloth and has a nice ice cube motif on the top.
