• Light-colored fabric reflects sunlight, heat and UV rays
• Bottom layer keeps your dog cool
• Middle layer stores cool water and transfers heat away from your dog
• Top air-mesh layer accelerates evaporation to release heat
• Auto lock buckles are easy to adjust for a snug fit
• Made by Ruff Wear

Help your dog keep his cool. Dress him for summer comfort – in our Ruffwear Swamp Cooler vest.

Good idea
By Cairn Terror Mom from San Mateo, CA on 07/30/2009
Sizing :
Feels true to size
Pros :
Easy to Put On, Good Quality
Cons :
Too Heavy
Best Uses :
Harsh Weather
Describe Yourself :

Bottom Line :
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This was a really good idea for where we live with no air conditioner but when wet was much too heavy for our old Cairn who has weak hips. Would be perfect for a younger or stronger dog.

We purchased the swamp cooler vest as we live in very hot & humid south Florida. The vest has been a life saver, it really helps keep our Bernese Mountain Dog cooler on his walks. He really enjoys wearing it as well, I think he knows he looks fashionable & unbelievable cute. All the other dogs we meet on our walks ask where we purchased & we always tell them Fetch Dog!

It may seem more bulk for the dog but since it's 105 out and she's panting, we hope this can help her stay cooler.

Great for hot, sunny days

This vest is very durable and works just as described. I have a large Weim who gets warm easily on hot, sunny days because of the short, dark coat. This vest kept him cool through and entire softball tournament.

I use this for my greyhound who loves to run and play but, like most greys, has low tolerance for heat. I was afraid it would restrict her range of motion but it fact, it fit so well that she soon forgot she had it on and tore around for an hour. Only thing to keep in mind is that, because it works with evaporation, you have to keep it "charged" or damp enough. I had to add water 2-3 times on a medium hot day with a very active dog (just poured it right on top). Also, greys have very thin coats so I don't know how well this works on a heavy coated dog. It was pricey but works for us.
