Summer Essential : Cooling Vests For Dogs

This time of year: THE SUMMER is always tough on pets — especially for the super-playful ones who prefer to persist in their dog day frolics despite the few extra degrees. Left to their own devices, they’d play the day away, risking heatstroke, sunburn and dehydration, among other hot weather hazards.

Hot weather spells trouble for dogs. Because they can’t release heat by sweating the way humans do, heat and humidity can raise canine body temperatures to dangerous levels. Heat stroke kills, and heat stress (a less severe condition) can take a serious toll on a dog’s health. Unfortunately, heat-related problems are among the most common summer canine ailments.

There’s no shortage of special equipment to help keep dogs cool. Now cooling vests are becoming popular. Made from different materials and operating on different cooling principles, these garments are designed to keep dogs from overheating. This lightweight, sun-reflecting, wet-able garment is not only highly functional (it cools through evaporation, just like sweating), it’s really good-looking, too. Your dog will feel comfortable and cool. No heavy materials, chemicals or bulky gels – just a special lightweight absorbent material activated by water. These cooling coats are soft, light, comfortable to wear and 100% safe. You will be amazed at how well they work
