How to Keep Your Dog Cool This Summer

As the temperatures rise, keeping your furry friend cool becomes essential. Dogs don’t sweat like humans, which means they can overheat quickly in the summer sun. That’s where dog cooling vests come in—a simple yet effective way to ensure your dog stays comfortable and happy during all your summer adventures. And we’re here to answer all your questions about it!

How Do Dog Cooling Vests Work?

The dog core cooling vest uses the science of evaporation to cool your dog. Simply wet the vest, wring it out, and strap it on. As the water evaporates, it draws heat away from your dog’s body, keeping them cool and refreshed. Designed with lightweight polyester and air mesh, is both comfortable and breathable, perfect for active dogs. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

Do Dog Cooling Vests Really Work?

Yes, they do! Our dog cooling vest focuses on cooling your dog’s core, which is the most effective way to lower their body temperature. While panting and shedding provide minimal relief, our dog cooling vest ensures your dog can stay active and cool, whether you’re on a walk, at the park, or enjoying a hike.

What Are the Disadvantages of a Dog Cooling Vest?

When used properly, dog cooling vests are safe and effective. However, here are a few things to keep in mind:

Always wet the vest before use; a dry vest won’t provide cooling.
Re-wet the vest as needed to maintain its cooling effect.
Monitor your dog during extreme heat to ensure they’re comfortable.

With proper care, they are the perfect solution for hot summer days.

Can You Walk Your Dog in Our Dog Cooling Vest?

Absolutely! Our dog core cooling vest is designed with active dogs in mind. Its athletic cut allows for full mobility, and the two-way zipper makes it easy to access your dog’s harness or collar. Whether you’re taking a stroll or embarking on an adventure.

How Long Does a Dog Cooling Vest Last?

The cooling effect of the vest lasts as long as the water continues to evaporate. On especially hot days, you can simply re-wet the vest to keep your dog cool. With its durable construction, our dog core cooling vest is designed to last for many summers, our gear is built for life, and we proudly back it with a lifetime warranty, making it a reliable and worry-free investment for your pet’s comfort and safety.

Do Cooling Pads or Our Dog Cooling Vest Work Better?

Cooling pads are great for stationary use, but dog cooling vests are perfect for active dogs who love being on the go. Whether your dog is running, playing, or exploring, the dog vests keep them cool and comfortable throughout their activities.
