Your dog lives in your home.

Their things should be built to that standard.

Your dog lives in your home. Everything you buy for them lives there too. Kaya makes products built to that standard — materials that perform, design that belongs, nothing that forces a compromise between the two.

The range

Built to perform.
Designed to stay out.

Kaya's opening range covers the essentials — cooling for summer, protection for everyday, care for the long term. Every product starts with a functional brief and ends with a finish that earns its place in your home. These are concepts; the materials, the technology and the thinking behind them are real.

01
The Cooling Mat
PCM fabric · flat profile · 3 sizes

A flat cooling mat built on Phase Change Material fabric — the cooling mechanism is woven into the textile itself, not held in a gel insert. No PVC, no plastic surface. The mat performs continuously, resets passively, and looks like a considered object rather than a piece of equipment.

  • PCM-infused fabric — continuous cooling cycle, no refrigeration required
  • 30–40mm padded profile — comfortable for extended rest
  • Machine washable at 30°C — PCM function maintained through 50+ cycles
  • OEKO-TEX certified materials — non-toxic, no gel compounds
  • Five colourways — Milk, Cacao, Citron, Beurre, Rouge
  • Matte non-slip base — stable on timber, tile and rugs

02
The Cooling Harness
Evaporative · daily walks · wearable

An evaporative cooling harness for summer walks. Wet the inner layer, put it on, go. Cooling activates immediately and sustains throughout the walk as water evaporates. The outer shell is designed in Kaya's colourways — calm, considered, nothing that reads as equipment.

  • Evaporative inner — immediate, sustained cooling on the move
  • Quick-dry construction — resets in under an hour
  • Y-front fit — no chest restriction, full range of movement
  • Adjustable at chest and girth — fits lean, stocky and everything between
  • Outer shell in Kaya colourways — designed to be seen, not hidden

Paw & Snout
Balm · SPF · rinse · year-round

Everyday topical care built for the Australian climate. Paw balm for hot pavement protection and pad repair. Snout SPF for dogs with exposed or lightly pigmented skin. A coat rinse that's pH-balanced and scent-considered. All formulas are non-toxic and lickable-safe.

  • Paw balm — cracked pad repair and heat protection
  • Snout SPF — UVA/UVB for exposed and pink-pigmented skin
  • Coat rinse — pH-balanced, no harsh fragrance
  • Lickable-safe across all formulas
  • Packaging designed to live on the shelf, not under the sink

How it works

The cooling is in
the fabric itself.

Standard cooling mats use pressure-activated gel — a one-shot system that absorbs heat until full, then stops. The surface is always PVC. Reset takes an hour. Kaya is built differently.

Phase Change Material fabric works by embedding PCM microcapsules permanently within the yarn. As your dog's body heat raises the fabric temperature, the capsules absorb that heat by changing state. As the room cools, they release it back and reset — continuously, without any intervention. No gel, no inserts, no prep. The mat performs because the textile itself performs.

The technology is fibre-bonded, not surface-coated — which means it survives repeated washing and doesn't degrade with use. Function built in, not added on.

Why Kaya
For your home
Designed to stay out. Not to be tidied away.

Considered colourways, textile surfaces, a flat profile that sits naturally on any floor. Nothing that fights with what you already own. The kind of object you leave out on purpose.

For your dog
Performance first. Every time.

PCM cooling that resets without intervention. Non-toxic, vet-reviewed formulas. Materials certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100. The design matters — but your dog's comfort and safety is the whole brief.

For Australia
Built for this climate. Not adapted from somewhere milder.

Designed specifically for Australian conditions — heat, UV, outdoor lifestyle. Stocked locally, no import markup, no six-week shipping window. Australian owned, Australian focused.
