Surprised. A good surprise!
I was lucky enough to find a discounted cooling jacket and snagged it. We have a very thick coated black lab. She is always hot, and it takes hours to stop panting. I was always curious shout the cooling jackets/vests/gaiters, but didn’t want to spend a lot if it was gimicky. She cooled immediately, and didn’t fight me putting it on her at all. We have used it a few times and it has stayed cool for a couple hours. She actually loves it! Wish I had bought it years ago. If you’re on the fence, just do it. I can buy a 5.00 coffee but sometimes have a weird feeling about buying 50.00 toward other things. Give up your coffee for a bit, it’s that worth it.
We just went to the Ruffwear in Bend looking for some other fun stuff and we got a cooling neck wrap for our yellow lab. It has been on for two hours and is still cool! He doesn’t mind it at all. And looks cute to boot!
