About Kurgo Gear

Kurgo believes that your dog deserves to go everywhere you go, safely and comfortably. Way back in the early 2000s, before dog travel gear was a thing, Kurgo set out to solve a problem: how to keep the family dog from jumping in the front seat of the car. After lots of brainstorming and prototypes, their Backseat Barrier was born. Twenty plus years later, they’re still finding new ways for you and your dog to go together in confidence.

Questions & Answers

10 Customer Questions


Why would I not achieve the same cooling effects simply by wetting down my dog? My concern is that the vest will actually make my dog more hot, rather than cool him off. Can you explain, please? Thank you.

Answer by ChewyJul 21, 2019
This vest is light in color to reflect the sun's heat. As the water evaporates, it takes your dog’s body heat with it, keeping them fresh and comfy. Re-wet as many times as is necessary to make it to the end of the outing.

Is it correct that this can be used over a no pull harness that has the leash attachment over the dogs back? There is an opening to accommodate that?

Answer by ChewyMay 18, 2018
This product has a 2-way zipper that allows access to underneath harness or leash attachments, so it can be easily worn over any harness.

When you wet the vest will it get your dog wet? How many degrees will it decrease body temperature?

Answer by ChewyMay 26, 2018
This coat is not waterproof, water will go through it. It is made with lightweight material to help keep your pet cool. The amount of cooling will vary and depend upon the individual pet characteristics and activity level as well as weather conditions.

How do you wash this product?

Answer by ChewyJun 07, 2018
This Vest is machine washable and is recommended to air dry.

cooling coat for small dog

I am very happy with this product, when the temps get high he will be able to keep him cool when weather gets hotter.

I called and tried to talk to customer service to see if I should have size up but they said that her size should be a medium. I wish I would have listened to my gut the vest fits her but it is very short on her back. I guess it does keep her core cooler

Jack loves it!

Jack is a 13 year old half husky, half black lab. His coat is thick and black. I worried about taking him on his late afternoon walk here in Texas as it's been warm

Jack is a 13 year old half husky, half black lab. His coat is thick and black. I worried about taking him on his late afternoon walk here in Texas as it's been warm and humid this summer. I got this to see if it would keep him more comfortable. He loves it ...walks with considerable pep, even when it's 90 and sunny! Definitely recommend!

Love for Summer!

This vest is well-made, keeps the sun off my girl, and does its job to keep her cool in 95+ days. She seems comfortable enough in it and eases a lot of my anxiety

This vest is well-made, keeps the sun off my girl, and does its job to keep her cool in 95+ days. She seems comfortable enough in it and eases a lot of my anxiety about her overheating. She's a mostly black mini Bernedoodle so her fur traps heat from being in the sun. The only mod I wish it had was if the chest strap was adjustable. Overall, 5/5!! For sizing, I followed the chart and a Large was perfect (Bonnie is 45-50 lbs).

Excellent Cooling Vest

My large black Doberman just soaks up the sun and becomes over heated easily. This vest works well to keep her cool. It does dry quickly which is why the vest

My large black Doberman just soaks up the sun and becomes over heated easily. This vest works well to keep her cool. It does dry quickly which is why the vest works well through evaporation. I have two vests so I can quickly change and continue on. This vest has been a lifesaver for her training sessions this summer.

Great idea, but Didn’t help keep her cool

Disappointed-with the current heat wave, really wish this worked! I’ve tried 5 times for a half mile walk in the morning. I used super cold water and rung out

Disappointed-with the current heat wave, really wish this worked! I’ve tried 5 times for a half mile walk in the morning. I used super cold water and rung out and put on my girl. After the first block, she was panting heavily as if I added a fur coat. It’s not a heavy jacket and the material seems light weight and well made; however, it did nothing to help keep her cooler. Strong wet dog smell
