[nagdu] Cooling vest?

[Daryl Marie]

Larry,
Yeah, it is quite warm... been 85-90+ the past few days. Thankfully it's cooled down, rained some, and the need for a cooling vest has become much less urgent.
A cooling vest is basically a jacket that you soak in water, and the coolness of the water is held in the fabric itself. It also acts as a barrier between the dog and the sunshine. :)

Been following soccer myself, and had hoped to go to a game here, but tickets are crazy expensive!

I'm forgetting its hot out there! Where are you again? Alberta? I have been following soccer and should know its been hot out west. Its been cold here! Anyway, what's a cooling vest? Never heard of one! My dog is brown and has only one layer of hair. And, she'll lose that next week!  -----Original Message----- From: nagdu [mailto:nagdu-bounces at nfbnet.org] On Behalf Of Daryl Marie via nagdu Sent: Sunday, June 28, 2015 9:40 PM To: nagdu at nfbnet.org Cc: Daryl Marie Subject: [nagdu] Cooling vest? Hey, guys! If any of you use cooling vests for your dogs, which ones do you use? Any usage/care pointers? I am seriously considering buying the Ruffwear Swamp Cooler, but don't know if any other products are on the market. My dog is black, and seems to struggle with the 90+ temperatures we've gotten here over the past couple weeks. It's quite early in the summer here for such temperatures, so I am hoping for a relief from the heat, especially with a 45-minute bus commute in an un-air-conditioned bus. Thanks!
