Much better fit than the other swamp cooler vest but still tight through the chest and awkward at the neck for a bully breed. I do think the size range runs small as my dog is on the lower end of a large (34) and itâs already a little challenging to get the zipper done through her chest area. The zipper also feels very cheap so Iâm hoping it holds up well. In my opinion, the biggest advantage is that this cooling vest doesnât need to go over the head, it makes it a lot easier to gear up.

This is a solid product and great quality but I had to return since it did not fit my dogs body shape. Iâm still giving 5 stars because it will work for most dogs. My dog is 75lbs and an old English sheepdog/poodle mix. He is slightly overweight and has a very odd shaped chest with a stockier shape like an OES. This would work better on slimmer, athletic dogs. He is 32 inches around but I bought both the medium and large and could not even zip the large up all the way, yet the neck was hanging off of him and too loose. I ended up finding last years cooling vest that had been discontinued and it fit him perfectly. Even got to put it to the test when our air conditioning went out last week and it reach 87 degrees inside our home. Definitely worth the try and if it ... MoreThis is a solid product and great quality but I had to return since it did not fit my dogs body shape.

My dog can walk at least a half hour more when he wears his cooling vest on a hot day. He is black and it keeps his back from soaking up the sun as well as keeping his chest cool. My only complaint is with sizing. My dog is 23 lbs with a larfe chest and shirt body. I have both the XS and S. The small works better in that it is not tight to his body allowing for better air flow thus cooler but the length is way too long so I have to fold up the bottom and he dribbles on it. The XS fits perfect lengthwise but is a bit too tight thus the chest warms up and does not provide optimal cooling. Seems this problem could be solved by making sizes overlap or better yet making items with different lengths. I have the same sizing problem with all of the clothing items I have ... MoreMy dog can walk at least a half hour more when he wears his cooling vest on a hot day.

This is a fantastic piece of equipment and works superbly on our 9 month GSP. She can be panting and once donned immediately cools down and settles. Although purchasing a M which she can grow into the vest is a little loose it's still very effective. The benefit is instant and in warm weather when she wants to remain active it works superbly remaining wet for a long time. Reach under the vest and she is noticeably cool around her core. Although expensive compared to other brands I would highly reccomend. Still effective looser and she'll grow into it, it should last her lifetime. Buy well buy once!
This is my second Ruffwear cooling vest. #1 is about 4 yo. It's drying faster, and looking frayed. This is great. It holds moisture longer. It looks nice. I bought 2, one for me & mine, the other for my daughter and hers. We had a great demonstration of it's effectiveness. My pup was wearing his. Her's wasn't. My daughter commented that my pup was hardly panting. Her pup was panting moderately. Now, both pups wear their cooling vests. Here in San Antonio, we've had a record number of 100° days and it's not even June! My pup is a 65 pound half Belgian Malinois. He has the Belgian build. I noted that this fits a little loose on him.
3-4 out of 5 stars. I had the original swamp cooler & I thought this would be better. I have 2 Aussies now and I find it difficult to zip on both of them. There is a size difference between the 2 of them, but they both measured within one size. The smaller dog is easier to get on, but still difficult. Does it cool them, yes, I believe that it does work, just like the original swamp cooler (not fitted style). The zipper is cumbersome to get started, catches in their fur and the zipper did split open on the larger Aussie a few times. I would sooner have the other style for my 2 Girls.
After researching many cooling vests, I ended up choosing this because of its light weight. My puppy has been sick and I wanted to pick the lightest one since sheâs lost weight and pretty weak. This vest is very light and keeps her cool. Weâve tried mountain trails in high temp for 1.5 hr+ and it was still cool when we were done. I also put it on her when I have to take her to the vet hospital during the hot hours in the car to keep her comfortable. Itâs also easy to put it on or off.
We had the previous version of this cooling vest, the Jet Stream, and loved it except for the flimsy material used in the top panel. So, I was excited to see this ânew improvedâ version. The top panel is vastly improvedâmuch thicker and stays moist longer. But, hereâs the caveat and the reason for only 3 stars: the chest panel, which is the most import part in terms of keeping my dogâs core cool, dries out rapidlyâmuch faster than the old version did! It is bone dry within 15 or 20 minutes. And, it is very hard to re-wet it without removing the vest from my dog. This is extremely disappointing, to say the least. Also, perhaps this was a fluke, but the vest also attracted a bee. It buzzed around my dog and landed on the vest. I don't know if it was the color or the ... MoreWe had the previous version of this cooling vest, the Jet Stream, and loved it except for the flimsy material used in the top panel.

Bought our first for our Maggie (passed - Nov 2021). Ruffwear was recommended to us by a local K-9 officer. We checked them out and bought one for Maggie and she loved it! Worked terrific, fit like a dream and really helped keep her cool in the back yard, on walks and runs in summer as well as in the car when traveling. After her passing we adopted 2 pups and got a vest for each. They wear them all the time when out in the back yard (we moved from Ill to Tenn last summer and it is considerably hotter here than back home). They have discovered open water - so our next purchase will be life vests for each to help keep them safe.
I have a husky in Texas so Iâm always looking for ways to keep her cool. This vest works really well to keep her cooler even though she really does not like it when I put it on her. Once she has it on though she generally calms down. Iâve only had it for a few months though and the zipper broke this morning. The whole thing just unpeeled off of her. This is a pretty expensive item so I am annoyed that the zipper broke so quickly. She is not rough on it either â we just wear it on leashed walks. It wouldâve been five stars except for the broken zipper.
