Better With Each Design

Trail Tested Promise

When shade is low and the mercury is high, dogs can count on the Swamp Cooler to help get them outside. Strategic material choices and design offer solutions for the challenges that warm-weather exploring presents. The light-colored fabric reflects solar radiation and provides shading while wetting the vest activates our Swamp Cooler™ Tech for that refreshing, just-stepped-out-of-a-lake feeling also known as evaporative cooling. Just give it a soak, put it on your dog, and go. When it dries, re-soak it to recharge it.

The Swamp Cooler Vest includes side-release buckles for easy on/off and a leash portal so it can be worn over a harness - topping off the essential features to make it our highest-coverage cooling option in the Swamp Cooler™ Collection.

What's New: We updated the external air mesh for improved abrasion resistance and improved water absorption, and we developed a new construction that retains more water in high-exposure zones on the vest for a longer charge.

Cooling vest
The vest came quickly and was exactly what I was looking for. It fits well and keeps our dog cool even in hot Florida summers. It is easy to put on her and she hardly knows it's there

Keepin' it Cool!
My little one Scampers has cancer, and she over heats very quickly now. I thought our walking days were close to over. And then she did so well with this vest!! It's perfect for her. She wasn't panting the whole time and enjoyed our walks once again in this NC summer heat. Thank you for making life changing gear.

Kept my Dog Cool and Comfortable
We went on a nice long walk this weekend to try out the vest. Wearing this vest, he was panting a lot less than normal and we didn’t have to stop for water and cool down breaks nearly as often. When we got home, the vest was still cool to the touch. Great product!

Heat tolerance is very high now
Our black Doberman can now complete her daily walks with ease while wearing her new Swamp Cooler. People have asked if we keep it in the refrigerator because it feels that cold in 80deg. or plus temperature. We laugh and say “ it’s only tap water “ that’s evaporating off the vest. If there not convinced i take my water bottle out and add a little more water and they start smiling thinking I just played a trick on them. Have them place their hand under the vest to feel that her fur is dry but very cool considering the outside temp is well over 80 deg. NO MORE PANTING on her walks

Life saving!!!!!
I have a service dog. It’s my first summer with her and she was struggling in the heat. Since I got her cooling vest she has been enjoying the outdoors so much more. Less panting and her body language looks relax. Definitely recommend.
