Keep Your Dog Cool and Comfortable in Warm Weather


Dogs struggle to regulate their body temperature, especially on warm days or during walks in direct sun. Without the ability to sweat like humans, they can quickly become overheated, uncomfortable and at risk of heat stress. A dog cooling coat helps lower your dog’s temperature using evaporation - keeping them cooler for longer during walks, play or travel.

Dog Cooling Coats for Warm Weather Walks

A dog cooling coat can help keep your dog more comfortable during warm weather, summer walks, garden play, travel days and outdoor adventures. It works using simple evaporative cooling: soak the coat in cool water, wring out the excess, then place it on your dog before heading outside.

Cooling coats are especially useful for active dogs, darker-coated dogs, older dogs and dogs that struggle in the heat.

Use a cooling coat for:

- Warm summer walks

- Garden play

- Dog-friendly camping trips

- Car journeys and travel stops

- Outdoor events and shows

A cooling coat can help, but it should not be used as an excuse to walk in dangerous heat. Avoid the hottest part of the day, keep walks shorter, carry fresh water and watch for signs of overheating such as heavy panting, slowing down, drooling or restlessness.

For the best fit, choose your dog cooling coat mainly by chest measurement. The coat should sit comfortably without restricting movement.
