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.

THREE-LAYER CONSTRUCTION

Wicking outer layer: reflects heat, facilitates evaporation to disperse heat, and offers UPF 50+. Absorbent middle layer: stores water for evaporation. Mesh lining: keeps dog dry and comfortable.

    Swamp Cooler Vest

    I bought this vest for my Scottish Deerhound girl. She hates the heat and has a predominantly black coat. I needed something for summer shows to keep her from melting.

    Sighthounds can be very difficult to fit properly and I was thrilled that this coat accommodated her body type beautifully . It is also a very attractive coat and will not look out of place on a show site. I am very happy with it.

    perfect for hot, dry climate

    The sun is pretty intense at altitude. We've used it wet and dry and it keeps my pup much cooler. Awesome. Thanks so much.

    It is what a person expects from Ruffwear gear. High quality, good fit, and a peace of mind. From car ride to Mt. Biking, I can enjoy our adventures and forget worry behind at home.

    Swamp Cooler Cooling Dog Vest

    Great product! I used for the first time when I took my dog on a 3 mile run. She is a catahoula leopard and needs lots of activity so we walk and run often. When we finished with our run the vest was still cool on my pup. She didn't seem nearly as hot as I think she would have been without it and I think it helped her cut her recovery time down in half!
