Products to Help Keep Your Dog Cool During Summer

Summer means it's heating up! Check out our top product picks for keeping your dog cool when temperatures rise.

For tips on how to use these products and other ways to keep your dog cool and hydrated, read our blog How to Keep Your Dog Cool During Hot Weather.

Dog Cooling Vests and Mats

Dogs don't cool down by sweating like people do. Using a dog cooling vest or collar can help lower their body temperature. Wet down the vest with cool water, wring it out so it's damp, and then put on your dog! Check it regularly throughout the day to ensure it stays damp and doesn't dry out.

If your dog doesn't like wearing clothes, cooling mats or blankets are where it's at! These are great options if you don't have cool tile floors, to use in your dog's crate or in the car after a trip to the park on a warm day.
