Quotation Marks

This made my morning walks in the high desert with my dog so much better...especially in the summer! It gets hot here and my dog doesn’t like the heat so much and we can’t always get up into the higher elevations where it’s cooler. The vest makes the morning walks so much better for us both! My dog now is happy to go at it...he likes the vest and he’s so much livelier because he’s cooler! Great design and simple to put on.

About Ruffwear Cooling Gear

How can I keep my dog cool in hot weather?

Ruffwear cooling gear is designed to help manage hot temps with the help of evaporative cooling. All you have to do is get the cooling gear wet, and evaporative cooling takes care of the rest. As it dries while you're out, just re-wet it with a water bottle or a quick dip in a stream to recharge.

How does cooling dog gear work?

Summer success starts with carrying a bowl and plenty of water to keep your sidekick hydrated on your excursions. Cooling gear, boots for paw protection on hot surfaces, exploring near water for swimming in, and getting out in the cooler parts of the day are all excellent ways to keep your dog cool in hot weather.
