How Cooling Dog Vests Work in Heat?
Cooling vests use evaporation or ice to reduce body heat.
They keep dogs cool during walks, hikes, and playtime outside.
Options include gel-based, evaporative, and phase-change material-based vests.
Choose based on climate, fit, dog size, and activity.
Activate per instructions, and avoid overuse beyond recommended duration daily.
They help prevent heatstroke but don’t replace water and shade.
Alternatives include cooling mats, fans, bandanas, and shady resting zones.
Vest effectiveness depends on environment, use, and product quality maintenance.
Some are water-safe, designed for poolside and splash-zone play.
