The Ruffwear Swamp Cooler zip is a nice vest to have on those hot summer days! We keep the vest damp with a spray bottle, especially the padded area in the bottom to keep the pup cool. The top fabric panels are of a light breathable material so moisture will evaporate quickly. The zipper closure is less bulky than Velcro or side-release buckles, but it can be tricky to zip up if your dog is squirmy. This vest is designed for dogs on the go, and does not hinder movements. 4 stars instead of 5, only because the fabric pattern is really odd: it looks like a kid doodled on a light blue garment with a neon yellow highlighter. 🤔

There's a lot to like about the Ruffwear Swamp Cooler dog vest. The construction is sturdy, zipper worked great. My dog has thick, medium-length hair (about 2 inches long) and I did not have any trouble at all getting this zipped up on her.I love how the arm holes give her enough running room and won't chafe. And even though this was a new experience for her, it did not bother her, wearing it. My only concern is that she's on the very low end of the Medium Sizing measurement, at 27 inches. And while this fit her fine, if she had been on the larger end, I think it would have been too small.Looking at pictures other reviewers have posted, I do think the vest fits the smaller breeds over all better. Longer dogs, like mine, didn't have nearly as much coverage.That ... MoreThere's a lot to like about the Ruffwear Swamp Cooler dog vest. The construction is sturdy, zipper worked great.

Or perhaps there could be "Larger Breed" sizing.As to the cooling feature, it was easy to get this wet without dripping and we had no trouble getting it on her. I think the concept is great, especially for a dog that needs to be active outdoors in the heat of the day.

This is a game changer... I am not even joking. As a veterinarian, I am constantly looking for ways to keep my dog and my patients from suffering heat stroke. I admittedly was skeptical when I ordered this, but I was desperate for something as we have been having many 100+ degree days and I know even a short walk is a risk for my dog. From the first time I used this I was shocked how well it worked. My was barely panting in this awful heat. I have since used it 5-6 times and continue to be impressed. I always carry extra water with me so I can keep saturating it with cold water as we go. When I put my hand under the vest to test it, I was very surprised how cool my dog's body felt. I will be recommending this to my friends and clients!

My dog prefers the Swamp Cooler Zip Cooling Dog Vest rather than the Swamp Cooler Cooling Dog Vest because it is much more lightweight. Once it's on, I think he understands that it helps him feel cooler and he doesn't mind wearing it too much. The downside is that it doesn't stay wet as long as the Swamp Cooler, so be sure to carry extra water for the purpose of re-soaking it. It also isn't adjustable and for that reason I wish there were more sizes offered. My dog measures 32", which is the top of the range for size medium and the bottom of the range for size large. Unfortunately, medium is much too snug--to the point that I have to leave it partially unzipped. Size large is a bit too loose (the vest cools better if it's snug against the dog's body).

If your dog, like mine, is at the top or bottom of the size range, you might be better off getting a regular Swamp Cooler Cooling Dog Vest, which has adjustable straps. Also, be aware that the Zip is more difficult to place on your dog. You have to place their legs through the openings (one at a time, of course), and it can be tricky to avoid dropping part of the vest on the ground while doing these maneuvers.
I'm very impressed with the Swamp Cooler Vest. We have a 13-year-old McNab border collie who is sensitive to heat and we have kept the vest on her during these recent hot days, hosing it down periodically throughout each day. One of your clerks showed me how to have her stand in it (paws in the arm holes with the vest on the floor and then bring it up to zip it since she has arthritis in her shoulders so I can't zip it ahead like your video shows. That is a great way but it is difficult to zip it when it's on her when I'm by myself. When there's a second person, it's easier. It also seems to have stretched a bit and doesn't stay as close to her body as it did about a week ago. Overall, though, we are so grateful to have the vest.

I will attach a picture of our dog, Chica (bigger dog on the left) and her little buddy, Pita (chi mix), wearing their matching Swamp Cooler vests. I also attached a picture of Chica on a hot day on a hike, glad she had her vest. You can see that there are gaps where it used to be more snug. I bought it at your store, with the assistance of one of your clerks.
Bought the swamp cooler zip in size Medium after trying a friend's. I was glad I was able to try in advance because my dog wears a small for her Ruffland harnesses and life jacket. I've used the cooling dog vest at a disc event with my younger dog, which helped her cool off faster. I also recently used it for my senior dog, who gets hot easily, when she was pacing and panting unable to get comfortable. She HATES harnesses, especially now that she has lots of old dog lumps. The cooling vest must have felt pretty good because she immediately found a good spot to lay down and fell asleep.I like that it doesn't go over the head and is relatively easy to zip up. I hope the zipper holds up well over time.
I love the Ruffwear brand and I was so excited to try this cooling vest when it became available! We selected the pretty blue/green design and ordered a size deemed for a medium-sized dog. We use a Ruffwear harness regularly already for our 2 y/o Mini Aussie. She gets very hot in the summer so this seemed great for her.Unfortunately, when the vest arrived, we were only able to enjoy it for a moment before the zipper ripped while our dog was wearing it. It did seem to fit her snuggly- but it’s a stretchy product and this was supposedly her sizing. Very disappointed we never even got to really test it out in the heat. Didn’t even wear it outside as the zipper could not be repaired upon multiple attempts.
I own both the Swamp Cooler Vest and the Swamp Cooler Zip vest. I use them both for my guide dog and both fit nicely under his guide dog harness. The Swamp Cooler vest has the same fabric all the way around whereas the Swamp Cooler zip has a material similar to a sun shirt on the top. I think this will work better on high humidity days compared to the Swamp Cooler Vest. It also has a lower profile but the cooling effect probably won't last as long as the regular Swamp Cooler Vest. I really love this and it will be great for when my guide dog needs to work in the heat or when we are hiking on hot days. It will be great for playing at the beach too. My dog loves wearing it.
I live in an extremely hot and humid area that is unbearable through the summer. My dog is a border collie and there’s no way he can just hang out inside the house all day as he requires stimulation.Before letting him out in the backyard, I dampen the coolest thoroughly and then put it in the freezer for about four minutes. I place it on my dog and he is much happier when he goes outside with the super cold vest on him.One thing I will say to everyone is you must must must keep dampening the vest! **I would be concerned that if it dried out, my dog would overheat even more.***While my dog is entertaining himself outside or even just lying around on the patio, I fill a container of ice water and about every 20 minutes I go outside and I pour it on the dog vest ... MoreI live in an extremely hot and humid area that is unbearable through the summer.

By pouring the ice cold water onto an inside the vest it will keep him cool for at least another 20 to 30 minutes.My dog has a heart condition so I am always worried about his heart having to work too hard in the heat.I have tried putting the vest on him when we walk on the bike trail, which unfortunately is paved because we can’t go on other trails because of the ticks… I have to carry large amounts of water to keep pouring onto the vest so best to only put the best on him in outdoor areas where you know you have constant access to Water sources so that you can keep wetting down the vest.
The medium size vest fit my 55# pit bull mix like a glove and did not chafe at all. Her neck size was right in the middle of the range for this product, but if it had been at the high end it would have been too tight. I tested it with weather in the low 90's, high humidity. The vest made a noticeable difference in coat temperature when I felt under it and compared it to her littermate's identical, non vested coat, however I did not notice any more energy or less panting than her brother. The product remained damp for our 40 minute walk. She then went swimming in it so I was unable to tell how wet it left her when I took it off, but I saw that it slowed her down a tiny bit when swimming. The vest was not damaged when she rolled in a woody area and washed mostly clean ... MoreThe medium size vest fit my 55# pit bull mix like a glove and did not chafe at all.

The vest was not damaged when she rolled in a woody area and washed mostly clean in the river. I had a little trouble getting the plastic zipper to come apart at the base when I unzipped it and resorted to pulling it over her head. As I am unsure it it really had any benefit for her, I will continue to use it but am unlikely to buy one for her brother.
