Many people think that simply turning on the air conditioner for their pets is enough.
Until one day, you notice that your pet is still lying on the floor panting, lacking energy, feeling down, or even frequently getting sick.
The problem may not be about whether there’s air conditioning, but rather—
The environment was never designed for them in the first place.
1. Pets and Humans Have Completely Different Understandings of “Comfort”
Humans perceive temperature primarily through their skin.
Pets, especially cats and dogs, rely more on their respiratory system and body surface to regulate and sense changes in temperature and humidity.
Here are a few often-overlooked facts:
- Pets have very few sweat glands and primarily rely on breathing to dissipate heat.
- They are extremely sensitive to changes in humidity.
- Their tolerance for “direct cold air” is far lower than that of humans.
- The stress response caused by day-night temperature differences is far more severe than we imagine.
This means:
An air-conditioned environment that feels just right for humans may not be friendly to pets at all.
2. The Core of a True “Pet Air-Conditioned Room” Is Never Just Cooling
When developing pet air-conditioned rooms, Borcellana repeatedly discussed not “how low the temperature should be,”
but a more fundamental question:
What kind of environment can truly help pets relax?
Thus, the focus of the technology shifted.
It’s not about strong cooling, but rather “stability.”
It’s not about single-function temperature control, but a “climate system.”
Temperature stability, not instant cooling
Frequent on-off cycles and sudden temperature changes are significant triggers for pets’ stress responses.
Pet air-conditioned rooms focus more on “whether the temperature curve is smooth” rather than “how fast the temperature drops.”
Airflow design to avoid “wind-related anxiety”
Many pets are not afraid of the cold but are afraid of wind.
By optimizing the airflow structure, cold air can “circulate slowly and diffuse evenly,” reducing discomfort caused by direct air blowing.
These invisible details are precisely where the value of “pet-exclusive technology” lies.
3. When Technology Starts Respecting “Non-Verbal Users”
Interestingly, pets won’t leave bad reviews or write feedback.
Their reactions are limited to two things:
- Whether they are willing to stay in the space.
- Whether their physical condition improves.
During tests, Borcellana found that a well-designed pet air-conditioned room leads to very noticeable changes:
- Pets voluntarily enter and stay in the space longer.
- Appetite and sleep quality significantly improve during summer.
- Sensitivity to environmental changes decreases.
This is not marketing data but conclusions drawn from long-term observation.
The purpose of technology is not to make products more complicated but to provide greater peace of mind for users.
4. The Future of Pet Technology Must Be “Invisible”
Truly good pet technology often doesn’t need to be mentioned frequently.
It should exist like air—
You barely notice it, but once it disappears, you immediately feel uncomfortable.
The ultimate goal of pet air-conditioned rooms is not to become a “high-tech device,”
but to become the “most stable and safest background environment” in a pet’s life.
Perhaps one day, people will look back and realize:
True progress wasn’t about giving pets more features,
but finally starting to seriously understand what they truly need.
