Ruffwear Swamp Cooler Dog Vest description While you're hiking in the desert, boating under a noon sun, and playing on the beach in mid-summer, your pup is panting away in a desperate attempt to stay cool. Outfit your dog in Ruffwear's Swamp Cooler. The Ruffwear Swamp Cooler has a three-layer constructionthe top air-mesh layer releases heat, the middle layer absorbs and stores cooling water, and the bottom layer uses the water to cool your dog. An auto-lock buckle adjusts around your pup's torso. *Measure around the widest part of the rib cage, and choose a larger coat for more coverage if your pup is between sizes. |
Keeps him cool!

This vest is the best summer buy I have found for my dog. He plays hard so gets overheated really easy and then spends all night trying to cool down. I got this vest and had him wear it while he fetched the frisbee and there was a huge difference. When we got home he was a little tired but not overheated or panting all night; after about 30 min. he could have gone right back outside to play some more. This vest reflects sunlight and when it needs to be 'recharged' I just get it wet while he's still wearing it. Perfect dog accessory for summer heat!!!
It works but.....

I would have to say that this vest does in fact work. My dog is about 95 % black and it did keep her cool when it was wet. The problem that I found with it is that on a hot sunny day it tends to dry out very quickly, so you will need to keep plenty of water available to recharge it. I did notice that when we got to shady spots that she recovered from the sun very very quickly. In her case a few minutes of rest and she was ready to go again.

For the most part when it is wet this coat did keep my dog cool. The problem with it is on hot sunny day it dries out very very quickly. My girl is about 90% black so finding something that will help cool her for summer activites is very important to me. The plus side to it is that when she does wear it she has a very fast recovery time. She doesn't pant nearly as much with it on when it is wet. Also in her case after a few minutes in the shade she is ready to go. This is a good product and I would recomend it, but make sure you have plenty of water to keep it "recharged." Also the instructions tell you to ring it out after getting it wet. If you are in the sun a lot don't bother, I found it kept her cooler longer.
