[nagdu] Cooling vest?

[Julie J.]

Daryl,

I'm sure you've thought of this, but that type of vest works by cooling 
through evaporation, obviously.  If you live in a high humidity area, the 
vest won't work so well and could possibly be even hotter than no vest. 
Just something to consider before folks purchase cooling products.  Consider 
your weather conditions and pick a product that will work for you.

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!

vest?  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 
eek!  -----Original Message----- From: nagdu

[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! Daryl
