Keeps dogs cool while hiking & biking in the desert, playing on the beach & boating on open water.
On a warm sunny day, dogs will trot for the shade, lie down, and pant the heat away. They need an air-conditioner-a Ruffwear Swamp Cooler-to stay cool, happy and active. Dogs can beat the heat, staying cool while hiking and biking in the desert, playing on the beach, boating on open water under full sun, and waiting for their turn during outdoor agility trials in the heat. Outfit your dog in the Swamp Cooler and let the cooling begin!

The Real Way to Cool a Dog
Perfect for Florida's hot weather. Before using it on my dog, I wrapped the jacket around my arm and went out during the hottest part of the day. The difference was amazing. The arm I covered with the vest was totally cool, while the other one was burning hot. I then used it on my dog and went for a nice walk. The Swamp Cooler Dog Jacket kept him perfectly cool. Best of all was the sale price at Altrec. One drawback if you like to have a perfectly groomed poodle though. The jacket leaves the hair damp, which causes it to curl up.
Definitely for Pups that Heat Up Quick!
This is a product must have for our furry four leggers in hot weather. Had product for approx. a week and has worked awesome for our Female Pug. She is so much happier and active. She can keep up on our short hikes and she cools quickly. Overheating was a huge concern, but now we are totally confident that she will be okay from sun and heat exposure here in sunny So. Cal. Just wished they had more color options...Pink :) for our girl.
Worth the money
My Golden Retriever stays cool when I walk her in the Texas heat (90 degrees at 0700) with this vest on. I can go for a 3+ mile walk without her tongue dragging on the concrete! Another quality product from Ruff Wear.
HERD EWE want to be cooler?
The swamp cooler jacket has been keeping our border collies cool as they work livestock. Dogs stay cool without feeling wet. The fit is accurate in the shoulders, but a little short for long, skinny dogs. All four of our dogs have their own jackets.
Makes the difference
We've got a big black greyhound named Mojo that loves to be outside, but the summer heat gets to him very quickly. The Swamp Cooler has made a huge difference. In 104 degree heat his fur was 119, but the Swamp Cooler kept the covered area at 79! Great design and coverage. I would definitely buy again.
