Description

Keep your dog active and protected during scorching summer outdoor adventures with the Ruffwear Swamp Cooler Zip Dog Vest. Engineered specifically for warm-weather exploring, this lightweight vest utilizes evaporative cooling technology to help regulate your pet's core body temperature when the heat rises. Simply soak the vest in cold water, wring it out, and zip it onto your dog to instantly initiate a refreshing cooling effect.

The vest features an advanced three-layer chest and belly construction that absorbs water while drawing heat away from your dog's body. An outer wicking spandex layer reflects solar radiation and provides UPF 50+ sun defense over the back, ensuring comprehensive protection against harsh rays. Designed with a close-fitting YKK Vislon zipper and oversized armholes, it allows a complete range of motion without restricting movement during hikes or runs. Ideal for active dogs needing reliable heat defense, this durable vest is fully compatible with most harnesses and leashes, providing a comfortable, trail-tested solution for summer travel.

How to use

  1. Soak the vest thoroughly in cold water.
  2. Wring out any excess water so it remains damp but not dripping.
  3. Step your dog's front legs through the oversized armholes and zip the closure along the back for a secure fit.
  4. As the vest dries during use, re-soak with water to recharge the cooling action.

    The best cooling vest!

    I am so happy I found this vest! My two Pomeranians get so hot during our trips and the vest was life changing. It took only a few minutes after putting the vest on, for my dog to feel comfortable! I originally bought one vest in a pet store, while we were traveling and the second had to purchase through Dropy. Honestly, one of the best ways to cool off your dog! It is made of a fabric similar to bathing suit, and the way the vest works if it is being kept wet with cold water. The photo of my dog was taken on 80's degrees day, and she was finally feeling comfortable.

    Good cooling vest

    My male Malinois has Lar Par and tendsto be warm. I need to keep him cool asmuch as possible. This wet suit helpsin summer. The zipper is plastic, andsometimes a little difficult if he getsdirt in it. Otherwise, it has really helpedmy dog.

    Great for my Boston Terrier

    My 25 lb Boston Terrier has it in small. And it fits him great! It's a perfect fit. Super easy to put on. I didn't even need to use the zipper to put it on. I did use the zipper to take him out of it. It has nice layers that really hold the water. I think it's a good value for the money. Not to mention he looks super cute in it lol. Good quality

    Truly the best

    I absolutely love this cooling vest. I did a lot of research before buying one, and Ruffwear kept coming up as the best option. It's definitely not cheap, but I decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad I did.It works incredibly well for my pug. We were able to sit outside in a pub garden in 26°C weather without her panting at all. We even walked back to the car afterwards (about 5-6 minutes) and she stayed comfortable the whole time.The quality is excellent too. The top feels really durable with a neoprene-like material and strong Velcro, while the belly and chest panels are made from breathable mesh. It's quick and easy to put on, and my dog is happy wearing it for hours without getting uncomfortable or overheating.It's an amazing product and worth every penny. I'm so happy we found it.
