Swamp Cooler™ Cooling Dog Vest

Fullest cooling coverage

Color

Selected: Sage Green

When shade is low and the mercury is high, dogs can count on the Swamp Cooler™ Vest to help keep the adventure going. Strategic material choices and design offer solutions for the challenges that hot-weather exploring presents. The light-colored fabric reflects solar radiation, 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. How does Swamp Cooler™ Tech work? Learn more about evaporative cooling and other ways to keep your dog cool here.

    Makes the summer months manageable.

    Thanks for to this vest, my dog actually wants to go outside during the summer. He still runs immediately to the shade at the park but it allows the some heat to be bearable on his big black coat.

    Really works

    Took my dog for a 2 mile run in Arizona and my dog did great. She usually stops under the trees to get shade, but today she was wearing the vest and she just kept going.

    Works great!

    I noticed that my dog, despite having short hair, would pant during walks in 80+ F weather. After putting this on him, the panting stopped and he is much more energetic when it's hot out. When I want to cool him off again, I just pour more water on the vest.
