When shade is low and the mercury is high, dogs can count on the Swamp Cooler to help get them outside. Strategic material choices and design offer solutions for the challenges that warm-weather exploring presents. The light-colored fabric reflects solar radiation and provides shading while wetting the vest activates our Swamp Cooler™ Tech for that refreshing, just-stepped-out-of-a-lake feeling also known as evaporative cooling. Just give it a soak, put it on your dog, and go. When it dries, re-soak it to recharge it.

The Swamp Cooler Vest includes side-release buckles for easy on/off and a lead portal so it can be worn over a harness – topping off the essential features to make it our highest-coverage cooling option in the Swamp Cooler™ Collection.

What's New: We updated the external air mesh for improved abrasion resistance and improved water absorption, and we developed a new construction that retains more water in high-exposure zones on the vest for a longer charge.

    Swamp cooler

    The best cool vest out there, in my opinion. I have tried numerous cool vests for my long haired GSD and this one actually does exactly what it says, it keeps him cool and it’s doesn’t move. Worth every penny

    Excellent for keeping the dogs cool

    Appears comfortable for them, easy to keep moist, neither dog complained . Great that can wear easily with their harness - everything lined up. Also sans washes off easily - doesn’t get stuck in the fabric

    Was much admired by dog owners in the South of France.

    Very impressed us, great

    We tried out the vest while hiking and are very impressed. Our 13-year-old dog with black fur was able to accompany us on every mountain without being affected by the warmth. Great product, it just has to be ensured that enough water is available.

    Seems to have worked at least somewhat for our sheltie this summer. London’s too humid to get a lot of benefit, but it definitely was notable how he got more active wearing this in the sun
