The vest is incredibly cute and fits my dog perfectly. It not only looks stylish but also performs excellently in keeping my dog cool during hot summer. Highly recommended especially for small breed!:)

We noticed quite the difference with my boy’s breathing, he doesn’t pant as bad as did without it on. He must really like it because he doesn’t give me a hard time putting it on him.

We were a little sceptical that the evaporative cooling would work on our Brittany through his thick coat but it did seem to provide him a big help on a hot day walk where he had few chances to jump in the water. Our measure is that his tongue wasn’t hanging way out which would have been the case without the vest. The vest seems to do what it is supposed to do.!

Really works well! I slipped my hand between vest and his chest, and it was nice and cool, even after he played around in the backyard for a while that day we had a heat warning last week !! ….. so important for Rex, especially being mostly a black dog Enabled him to enjoy being outside for a time despite the heat Very pleased!

This cooling vest is a must for summer! Not only is my dog cooler while outside, but he settles faster once he’s back inside. The upgraded zipper vest has thicker mesh and seems to hold more water than previous versions. Shipping was fast and easy.

So lightweight and bright! Keeps Martha cool, comfortable and visible! She’s always a size medium in Ruffwear and this fit true to size. A must have for these super hot summers.

Carlene S.

Great product and service. Thank you.

The cooling vest fits very well and is easy to get on with the full length side zipper. It is also comfortable enough that Petey doesn't care he has it on. It also seems to work well at keeping him a little cooler. He enjoys visiting people and other dogs but isn't a fan of the heat outdoors.

Great products, awesome delivery timing!

Fits my 60lb dog great (size M) definitely makes a difference for her dark fur

Ce gilet refroidissant est très bien ajusté pour mon boxer x mastiff de 75 lbs. J'ai pris grandeur large. Mon chien l'adore et est tjrs heureux de le mettre, c'est tout juste s'il ne le zip pas lui-même. Dans les canicules, je mouille le gilet, l'essore et le met au frigo mais pas au congélateur. Ce qui permet de garder froid plus longtemps. J'adore et mon chien aussi.

quick shipping and stress free transaction

The vest was for one of my granddogs. They must be a good thing, as each of the 3 now have one. It helps keep them cool.

natalia b.

Great quality, and helps keep my girl cool!

Jen H.

Great sporty cooling coat! It fits nice and snug so it stays in place. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is its a little difficult to put on with the side zipper.

Emily S.

Our favourite summer accessory for our black dog! Prior to this vest, he would overheat so easily. This has certainly helped him keep cool. It is also thin enough to wear under his harness.

Mitran M.

fits perfect. customer service responded to email same-day!

Charla V.

Our dog has DCM, a heart condition. The heat is very hard on him. The cooling vest helps him stay cool enough to be outside to play on hot days (for short bursts). It’s been above 30 degrees Celsius the last few days and the vest really seems to work. I’m really glad I went with the large size as his measurements were on the high end of medium (he’s just over 80 pounds). The large fits snug and I’m sure I would’ve needed to return the medium.

Rosemary H.

Good fit. As my dog has long fur, it takes time to zip up to make sure her fur is not caught.
