How does the Ruffwear Swamp Cooler Cooling Dog Vest work?

The vest uses evaporative cooling technology that activates when soaked with water, providing a natural cooling effect. The light-coloured fabric also reflects sunlight and offers UPF 50+ sun protection to help keep your dog comfortable in warm weather.

What sizes are available for this cooling vest?

The Ruffwear Swamp Cooler Cooling Dog Vest comes in four sizes: Small (56–69 cm), Medium (69–81 cm), Large (81–91 cm), and X Large (91–107 cm), with a relaxed design for comfortable fit.

Can the vest be worn with a harness?

Yes, the Ruffwear Swamp Cooler Cooling Dog Vest features a leash portal that allows it to be worn over most harnesses, making it suitable for active dogs during outdoor activities.

How should I care for and maintain the vest?

Soak the vest before use and re-soak when dry to maintain the cooling effect. Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, secure all fasteners before washing, and air dry only without using a dryer.

What materials are used in the vest's construction?

The vest features an outer layer of polyester air mesh, a middle layer of polyester non-woven felt, and a dry-weave polyester mesh lining with reflective trim, designed to improve abrasion resistance and water absorption.
