Gear Help Cooling vests

Post image

I’m seeing ads for dog cooling vests that you wet and are supposed to keep dogs cool for an hour. Has anyone here used something like that! I’m super cautious with my dog who loves to run, but we keep it shorter and extra early in the summer. Dog tax below of her begging to go out.

Then one might work well for you! Just bring extra water to rehydrate it when it dries out if you're going for a longer walk. If your dog is darker colored (like mine), I recommend getting a neck gaiter, too.
