In Malaysia's tropical climate, caged pets often face heat stress and discomfort. This project introduces a reusable cooling pad made with felt fabric and an endothermic gel pack to passively reduce cage temperatures without electricity. Survey data shows 84.2% of pet owners consider heat insulation important, and 93.1% are interested in non-electric solutions. Key features desired include durability (41.6%), affordability (31.7%), and lightweight design (15.8%): Additionally, 71.3% prefer lightweight materials. This product addresses those needs effectively: Hypothesis: The pad will significantly reduce cage temperatures and improve thermal comfort for pets in hot, humid conditions.
