What keeps it cold? Water evaporation or chemical reaction? And what size for an 80!lb Olde English Bulldogge

Answer by ChewyJun 08, 2021
There are no chemicals whatsoever. There is a thin layer of resin, in between the two layers of PVA. When this is wet the resin is what cools the vest down. Once the water evaporates, simply re-wet and use. To find the best fit we recommend measuring your pet and comparing the measurements to the sizing chart that is available in the “Size” tab, next to the “Description” tab, just under the product. If your pet falls somewhere between two sizes, we advise ordering the larger of the two.

How long does the vest stay cool? I’ve seen other cooling vests that you have to wet first and they usually only stay cool for about 20min on really hot days.

Answer by ChewyJun 08, 2021
It all depends on the external temperature and the sun. It ranges from 4-6 hours. Once the vest starts to dry, simply re-wet for another 4-6 hours of cooling sensation.

Can this vest be reactivated with salt water instead of regular water? And is it okay if my dog went swimming in salt water with this vest on, would it ruin the vest?

Answer by ChewyAug 05, 2021
A pet may swim in the ocean or salt water pool with this vest on but the manufacturer recommends to wash it with mild dish soap and regular water before letting it dry. The salt, if left on the material, may ruin the PVA fabric.

Would they be able to wear this with a harness?

Answer by ChewyJun 13, 2022
While there is no harness hole on the Ice Vest, the vest is lightweight & thin enough that it can comfortably fit underneath a harness. We have The Ice Band cooling bandana will also not interfere with a harness.

Don't keep for a long time, the velcro doesn't stay together for long. Also my dog scratched an hole on the side where it is under his armpit although it is big enough. I will not buy this product again

Great fit, easy to use.

Easy on makes this a winner for me. Pugs are hard to fit, but this fits well. Very ease to use and keeps him nice and cool.

it works great on our golden retrievers

we love these, they get cold by just getting them wet, velcro has been good ( long hair can get caught in the velcro if not careful) and they definitely help cool

we love these, they get cold by just getting them wet, velcro has been good ( long hair can get caught in the velcro if not careful) and they definitely help cool our goldens down. the only downside is they dry stiff as a board but that goes for everything that uses this type of material as a cooling vest or rag so we already knew that and not a huge issue for us.

This fit our boy just about perfectly. Just wet it, wring most of the water out, and put it on them. After being outside in Oklahoma's 105-degree heat for a bit, his back and chest were cool to the touch. It works as long as it is damp. I don't recommend going out in that heat for any length of time with a dog but with this vest it is possible.

I love Chewy and I ordered a large ice vest, but my pup is a big girl and I called to exchange it. They had me donate it to a shelter dog - so sweet bc my girl was a stray. I ordered the new 3XL and it fit. However, I walked 20 feet away to throw the wrapper/box out and by the time I got to the recycling bin and back Lucy Goosey had gotten her mouth on the ice vest and one snap and it was torn! I think for $50 the quality should be good enough that it takes at least 30 seconds for her to chew through it!

We bought 2 of these this year. 1 for the new, big dog (3XL) and 1 for the little dog (XS). The little dog had one before but the velcro stopped working. It is really hot here in the summer and these things work well at keeping the dogs cool, but the velcro wears out sooner or later. We will probably be getting another one for the medium size dog as her velcro is wearing out too.

Cold but strong chemical smell & stiff as a board when dry

Wanted to love this but out of the package super strong chemical smell, AND when it dries it is hard - making it really hard to store (can't fold or put away). And

Wanted to love this but out of the package super strong chemical smell, AND when it dries it is hard - making it really hard to store (can't fold or put away). And then within 30 min of wearing it, it got ripped off so tore up quickly. It is cold for sure, but the cons outweigh the cold
