K9 Dog Cooler - New Designs!!

Keeps Your Dog Cool!

This Incredible product keeps your dog cooler in the hottest conditions.  The scarf has moisture releasing crystals that allow the tie to stay cool through evaporation.  By cooling the blood stream in the neck, your dog stays cooler. Non-Toxic, Safe Velcro closure, lowers body temperature, comes in three stylish designs.  Just soak the tie in water for 20-30 minutes.   Soaking once a day should be sufficient even in the hottest weather.  When not in use allow to dry.  It may be refrigerated for added coolness but do not freeze.  Hand wash in a mild detergent and hang to dry.  100% cotton.  Overweight and older dogs have more difficulty with the heat. As far as breeds are concerned, it is generally accepted that snub-nosed dogs, like boxers, bulldogs, pugs, Boston terriers, Lhasa Apsos and Shihtzus have poor panting mechanisms, and so are more susceptible to being affected by heat.

Cool Vest logo 

Perfect for summer walks!   Keeps Your Dog Cool! 

Enjoy your Summer outdoor activities with your dog with Cool Vest

Cool Vest is made with a special fabric that absorbs and retains water.  It uses no toxic chemicals or materials and requires no refrigeration.  The vest utilizes a simple scientific principle-cooling through a evaporation as water gradually transforms from a liquid state into vapor.  It takes the heat around it.    The liner is laminated so dogs don't get wet and this special fabric doesn't dry out as quickly as cotton.  On average the vest remains effective for 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the air temperature and humidity.  To refresh the effect, only thing you need to do is wet it again.  The sporty vest is good for all kinds of dogs from puppies to senior dogs.  It covers vital organs, providing optimum cooling effects without excessive coldness that would be harmful to a dog's health.

Preventing Heat Exhaustion in Dogs

Dogs and cats don't sweat like humans, they pant to cool themselves. Loud, rapid panting however, is one of the first signs of heat exhaustion. Other signs include rapid pulse, glazed eyes, excessive salivation, elevated body temperature, excessive whining or agitation, staring or vomiting and white or bluish gums. Only one of these symptoms has to be present to indicate your pet may be in trouble.

 

The following tips will help protect your pets from heat exhaustion:

  1. Keep plenty of cool, clean water in a spill-proof container available to your pets. See our selection of portable water bowls (click here). When outdoors your dog may enjoy a baby pool filled with fresh water to lie in when the temperatures are very high.
  2. Bring pets inside, especially during the hottest hours of the day. Be particularly careful with senior and overweight pets, they have more difficulty regulating body temperatures.
  3. Brush your pet's coat to keep it free of mats. Do not shave off your pet's coat because bare skin can sunburn. Fur protects your pet from the heat and insects and retains cooling water after a refreshing swim or a wetting from a garden hose.
  4. Walk your pet during the cooler morning and evening hours. Avoid the hot pavement which can burn and blister your dog's paw pads.
  5. On hot, humid days, avoid jogging/running with your pet.
  6. Don't take your pet with you when you run errands. The temperature inside a parked car can kill a pet in a matter of minutes. When the temperature is 85 degrees, the temperature inside you car can soar to 102 degrees in 10 minutes, and 120 degrees in 30 minutes. And that's with the windows open and the car parked in the shade!

If you suspect you pet is suffering from heat exhaustion, cool your pet immediately by placing him in the shade and sponging or hosing him down with cool water, especially on the head, feet (pads of the feet!) and groin area. Give him small amounts of water to drink. Once your pet's temperature is back to normal, take him to your veterinarian for immediate care.
