Long-Lasting Cooling Vest Gel Pack: Designed Specifically For Dogs
As temperatures rise, helping your pet stay cool and comfortable becomes a top priority. One innovation that has gained popularity in recent years is the dog cooling vest.
During hot weather, assisting your pet stay cool and comfortable becomes critical given that dogs can be affected by heatstroke. Dogs become vulnerable to hyperthermia when their body temperature rises beyond 104°F (40°C) and their cooling mechanism – i.e. panting and through their paws - is unable to cope.
Does A Dog Really Need Help Cooling Down?
Some people argue that wolves and herding dogs do just fine without a cooling vest, and wonder why there’s a fuss on keeping our pet dogs cool. But one thing they forget is that family pets spend a lot of time in-doors – sometimes in air conditioned environments - making it harder to cope with outdoor heat.
Modern dog owners want to take their dogs for a quick walk on their lunch break, or go for their summer vacation with their pet, exposing them to more hours of direct sunshine – in stark contrast to traditional dogs which sleep through the hottest part of the day in the shade. This means we have to take extra cooling measures to protect our less hardened pets to the harsh sunlight.
Short-nosed breeds like Bulldogs and Pugs, older dogs, as well as long haired breeds are especially vulnerable to heatstroke, and shouldn’t be overworked or left in a poorly ventilated place like your car during hot weather.
How Cooling Vests Work
Cooling vests work in different ways:
- Evaporative Cooling: these are soaked with water which absorbs heat from the dog's body as it evaporates.
- Ice Pack Vests: these vests carry ice packs in their pockets, keeping the dog's body cool through direct contact.
- Reflective Vests: these vests reflect the sun’s radiation away from your dog and minimize heat absorption.
Gel Pack Vests:
PurHeart’s dog cooling vests are the first wearable gel packs for pets in the history. They come with a gel that changes from solid to liquid at a specific temperature, absorbing heat from the dog’s body during the transition. They’re lightweight, comfortable, and convenient as you don’t need to add water when using them. Made from food grade material, they’re also safe for use with various dog breeds.
