Cooling pull-on vest

Measure your dog’s chest circumference as shown inthis video, then use our size chart to find the best fit. The size number corresponds to your dog’s back length.

The Cooling pull-on is designed to fit snugly. If your dog is between sizes, we recommend sizing down for slim dogs and sizing up for broader chests. Otherwise, choose the size indicated by the chart.

1. Wet the vest:Soak the vest in water, or for a faster effect, dunk it in a bucket or river.
2. Put it on:Slide the vest over your dog’s head, then pull each leg through the dedicated openings. A close fit ensures maximum cooling performance.
3. Go out with peace of mind:Your dog is now ready to face the heat comfortably.
4. Re-wet when needed:When the vest is dry, simply wet the vest again to reactivate its cooling effect.

The cooling effect will vary based on humidity levels, wind, and sun exposure. In hot, dry climates, the vest can stay effective for up to 5 hours under optimal conditions. The felt mid-layer absorbs and holds up to 4 liters of water per square meter, ensuring a long-lasting effect. In windy or sunny conditions, the vest may dry faster. When the vest feels dry, re-wet it to reactivate the cooling effect.

The 3Chill tec™ is a 3-layer evaporative cooling system that helps your dog regulate their body temperature. It mimics the natural sweating process, so that when water evaporates, so does the heat.

• Inner layer: The breathable 3D air-mesh efficiently transfers your dog’s body heat to the mid-layer and keeps the vest breathable at all times.
• Mid-layer: The highly absorbent felt material holds and spreads water evenly across the vest. The more water it holds, the longer the cooling effect lasts.
• Outer layer: Facilitates evaporation, protects from direct sunlight and UV rays.

Yes, its thin and snug design allows you to fit a harness on top of it.

The Cooling pull-on vest is designed for thermoregulation during low-intensity activities or periods of rest. Engaging in high-intensity sports, such as pulling, canicross, or bikejoring, generates significant internal heat due to your dog’s increased muscle activity and elevated metabolic rate.

While the vest helps manage external heat, it cannot compensate for the rapid core temperature rise caused by intense exercise. In hot weather, this can lead to overheating despite external cooling measures.

To optimize your dog’s performance and safety:

• Use the Cooling pull-on before activity to pre-cool your dog’s core and provide initial relief.
• Use it during breaks to aid in temperature recovery.
• Avoid high-intensity sports during the hottest part of the day.

Always monitor your dog for signs of heat stress, and prioritize responsible training practices in warm weather.

A cooling vest can make a big difference on hot summer days when staying cool is essential, but some outdoor or car trips are unavoidable. Whether you need to cross hot areas, like sun-exposed streets or open spaces, to reach cooler spots such as a park, or when working and service dogs must perform their duties regardless of the heat, a cooling vest helps your dog regulate their temperature more efficiently.

Certain dogs are also more prone to heat stress:

• Older dogs often struggle to cool themselves.
• Black-coated dogs absorb heat faster.
• Double-coated breeds (e.g., Huskies, Shepherds) benefit from additional cooling support.

Both keep your dog cool using our 3Chill tec™ technology, but the way they go on, and how they fit, is a little different. The Cooling vest slips on without lifting your dog’s legs and adjusts at the neck and chest. The Cooling pull-on vest goes over the head and through the front legs. Thanks to the stretchy fabric and extra size options, it gives a snug, body-hugging fit that moves naturally with your dog.

Our Cooling vests are safe and highly effective for dogs when used correctly as a preventative tool. Dogs regulate their heat primarily through panting and sweating through their paw pads. Our evaporation-based Cooling vests are also made with breathable materials that allow air to circulate and do not trap heat. Instead, they mimic the natural sweating process by absorbing water and using airflow to pull surface body heat away.
