SGODASGODA Dog Cooling Vest Harness Cooler Jacket Grey Green XX-Large

We have a mini Aussie mix that has no off switch. She will run herself to death and over heats extremely easy. I tried 2 or 3 other cooling vest/shirts. I was actually surprised that this one fit her the best. I was skeptical that she wouldn’t like the adjustable string near her stomach, however she doesn’t seem to mind it and it’s really what helps make the fit great. It is not as easy to get on as the others; super easy to get off. It is definitely on the thicker side so if you’re looking for more of a “shirt” style, this isn’t that. We’ve only used it a couple times so far and seems to help her stay cool and play longer. I recommend this one.

So here is why I picked this item over the others. I have a small black dog and we live in New Mexico. It is dry and hot here. My dog was really struggling in the direct sun, even at 70 degrees. The sun hits his back and he starts to itch and will just sit down and not move. I read the review by the veterinarian (find it and read it) and that sold me. This vest is a bit more expensive, but it also has three layers of fabric rather than 1 or 2 in some of the others. The light color reflects that sun. With the three layers, it stays damp longer and in the dry climate, I definitely needed that. My dog has been able to walk for an hour without losing the cooling factor. It works too. He does not slow down while we are walking and so far it has tested out at 85 degrees with no problem. I use boots or mushers secret on his feet to protect from heat on the street. It is worth the extra money for the extra thickness. I know that when I was thinking about a cooling vest, it seemed counter intuitive to put layers on top of my dog's hair, but the evaporative cooling process really works. I highly recommend this vest! It has been a life saver.

It really works and definitely helps our black dog hike more! It doesn't stay dry for long and it isn't super absorbent, but we have found the best way to do it is either squish it in a stream or a bag. Usually we carry a bag to put a little water in and massage it around. You can recharge it without taking it off but it is much more effective in the bag and uses a lot less water, which is important if there aren't a ton of streams. Our guy isn't a fan of water but he is ok with the jacket, he just usually refuses to go in the water to recharge it.Pros:- Light color but still bright edging for visibility- Cleans up well, still looks pretty good despite copious mud- Built in leash clips- Keeps pup cool when wetCons:- Leash clips are awkward, but too far apart- Zipper sticks when it gets muddy/dusty- Doesn't hold a ton of water

It works! Black Labrador gets too hot doing anything in summer. Wore it for a 45 min a walk, re-soaked, and then wore for an outdoor dog training class and it kept him significantly cooler (less panting, more relaxed, held water during the class and dog trainer commented that he looked cooler vs last week during class without the vest).My lab is 83 lbs and 33.5 inch chest and bought the XL. The size chart seems wrong and that he should be an XXL but based on reviews that seemed way too big. The XL fits him perfectly on both the “smaller” or “larger” zipper option.For the price this was a great buy and seems to work very well to keep my pup cool. Not sure how it compares to the RuffWear one but it seems that this one needs to be re-soaked after about an hour in 80°F.

I don’t typically leave reviews. However, this product is so good I would like to help other owners. I’m a veterinarian and have a cream French bulldog. These dogs are prone to over heating fast. I bought this for our trip home to Alabama. It’s done great but I really tested it today. My dog loves riding on the mower with me. We just spent two hours cutting grass. I stopped once to offer water and re soak the vest. He was not panting I’m just extra cautious. The vest was still cool as was he under the vest. It could of lasted the entire two hours without re-wetting. Two hours in full sun with his vet on, it’s 93 degrees and 79% humidity and he never even started to pant. Even after getting off the mower he was comfortable enough to just play in the grass. This is literally a lifestyle changer for me and my dog in the heat. Now my dog is accustomed to sweaters in winter so he had no problem with the vest or any other clothing. It actually fits really well my dog is a muscular 8 month old French bulldog who weighs 17 pounds. I’ve washed and let air dry and he’s worn it almost daily for a month and it’s holding up well. My dogs only 17 pounds of pure muscle but it’s worked as a harness well. I would HIGHLY recommend this product. This could prevent so many heat strokes I see as a vet. Absolutely so glad I bought this. My app won’t allow me to add pictures right now but I will say it has two zippers so it can adjust to fit dogs as they grow or those that aren’t a perfect one size fits all.

I have a senior dog with an enlarged heart. She’s on quite a bit of medication, and I’m doing my best to extend her life and the quality of her life as much as possible. She loves to walk, and walks in hot weather aren’t good for her. I get up early to take her on a long walk while it’s still cool outside. I bought this vest with the hope that it would make some short walks during the heat of the day easier and longer. I don’t know how some of these reviewers are getting their dogs to be outside for hours longer with this. If I soak it in ice water, wring it and put it on her, it might extend our very short walk (5 minutes) in the hottest part of the day by a few minutes. This is better than nothing, but isn’t what I expected or hoped for. I’ve tried keeping it in the refrigerator but that doesn’t help much. When I feel the vest after we’ve been out for a few minutes, I can tell it’s not as cold and heats up quickly. The evaporation which is supposed to keep her cooler just isn’t adequate. I think this is worth a try as it might work for you, but isn’t really helping extend her walks by very much time. In fact, it’s almost not worth even bothering with the effort to use this.

This arrived just as the heat wave in British Columbia began. It was 30 degrees today, and it is only May! I have used a cooling vest for years now, and the old one needed replacing. This one is way better than my previous one. It has a double zipper, I assume for different widths of dogs and it was nice and comfy on my pup Acorn. It is really well made with two layers, so when both layers are wet, it lasts longer. If you are out for longer you just wet it again. I also like that you don't need a harness with this one. We had a good walk in the park, mostly in the shadier parts and Acorn was perfectly happy. Just remember to keep your pups off the concrete and tarmac so they don't burn their paws.

Au début de l'été, mes chiens (1Malamute et 1 Golden) avait très très chaud. Je pensais avoir trouvé la solution idéale! J'ai donc acheté cette veste et une autre, d'une autre marque. Ni l'une ni l'autre on fait leur travail. Après plusieurs tentatives, elles ne gardent pas le froid. Mes chiens suaient quand je leur installais sur le corps, même en suivant les instructions à la lettre.Par contre, je dois avouer qu'elles sont très belles. Le tissus et les coutures sont de bonnes qualités mais leurs couleurs sont beaucoup trop pâles.Elles sont extrêmement cher pour en avoir vu en boutique d'animaux par la suite a beaucoup moins cher! À mon avis, ces vestes ne gardent aucunement le froid. Elles sont belles, certes, mais à quoi bon la beauté, n'étant pas le but! Malheureusement je dois dire ... À NE PAS ACHETER !!!
