Cooling vest for paw boy.
Good idea but material gets very rough when not wet. Great for a dog always in the water. I just wanted it to be cool for my dog while walking -material very stiff and uncomfortable for my paw boy. My philosophy-“ If its good for me as a human mom , it should be good for my paw boy”. Sorry but my skin could never tolerate the material.

Nice and cool
My three Labs were reluctant to wear these but they enjoyed the coolness and have learned to accept they drive pretty stiff so if you don't keep them wet on the dogs they're a bit uncomfortable after they dry.

Cooling vest
It works very just takes few to get cold in the freezerr, I take water with me to pour water on the vest to keep cooling during the walk.
Cooling Vest
I got the cooling vest for my Frenchie, we live in Florida, our obedience classes are outside, he was overheating. This Vest really helped a lot, we were able to get through the whole class.
Looks like it will work
Have not used it yet but I did wet it and it felt cool and soft. It is hard as a rock dry so make sure you fold it whey way you want it while wet.
Great product
Easy to put on, easy to use, great quality and expect it to work well
Helped with overheating issue
My dog has anxiety and overheats easily because of it. I purchased this vest to help keep her cool and comfortable and it works! My only concern is the quality. I feel this could have been designed with better materials. I would recommend trying it!
It's just ok.
This vest did it's job and cooled our boy down but he HATES it. The vest has a bit of an odd smell initially and stains easily. It feels a bit like a dish sponge, very hard when dry, but then squishy when wet. We kept it but wouldn't buy it again.

Very pleased with this cooling vest
This product is basically a lightweight vest that stays wet to keep your dog cool, so the evaporative cooling effect will partly depend on humidity and your mileage may vary. But overall I am very pleased with it, especially because I got it on sale.
I had the most trouble figuring out the correct size for my dog, who is a small-medium dog but a bit chubby: 29 lbs, about 23 inches around the chest barrel (with lots of fur), and 18 inches long from collar to base of tail. So I could have gone with the Large or the X-Large.
I went with X-Large, figuring that having the vest be a little loose is better than too tight, and I'm glad I did. The photos I attached show the vest's actual dimensions:
Circumference is a little over 24 inches; the width of the stretchy panel underneath when not stretched is about 7 inches; the length of the vest underside is about 12.5 inches long; and the length of the vest top is almost 15 inches long.
I didn't take a photo of the stretchy panel underneath because it took both hands to do that, so you'll have to just trust me that stretching that part to the maximum makes the width about 9 inches wide -- i.e., fully stretching it out adds only 2 more inches.
I went with the X-Large so that my dog had room to breathe easily, without the vest feeling tight on him. It was the right call. Also, the part underneath doesn't extend all the way down the tummy, so it doesn't get in the way of my boy peeing. Great vest!

Works very well
Our +14 year old lab suffers from LarPar & hot humid days are awful for him. This jacket really helps to cool him down. And it doesn't get his bed terribly wet (a concern i had). It works well as instructed (just wet with cold water) but it works faster if I put it in the fridge for a few mins (wet). We had the neck/scarf version - but this obviously cools the majority of his body vs just a small area. Definitely recommend.
