Dog experts recommend their top products to keep your dog cool this summer
Swamp Cooler Dog Cooling Vest – £94.96
The light-coloured fabric of this vest reflects solar radiation and wetting the vest activates the Swamp Cooler Tech for that refreshing, just-stepped-out-of-a-lake feeling also known as evaporative cooling. Just give it a soak, put it on your dog, and go. When it dries, re-soak it to recharge it.
The vest has side-release buckles making it easy to get on and off and also includes a lead portal so it can be worn over a harness on all of your adventures making it a high-coverage cooling option.
Swamp Cooler Cooling Neck Gaiter – £22.96
The Swamp Cooler Neck Gaiter is a reversible, everyday cooling neck gaiter for dogs that’s designed to take the edge off when exploring in hot and dry weather conditions. It’s an easy way to bring a bit of refreshment on the go. Soak the product to activate the evaporative cooling technology to help cool your pup. When dry, re-soak to recharge it.
Hydro Plane Floating Throw Toy – £30.95
With excellent floatation capacity and a durable, flexible build, this waterproof toy is perfect for any summer adventures you’ll be heading on. Dogs learning to fetch can build confidence with the soft construction, and the oversized-ring design is easy to pick up and may even inspire a game of tug, making it great for training and exercising this summer.
Confluence Waterproof Dog Collar – £38.95
This go-to stink-proof waterproof collar is for dogs that love exploring in wet environments. And, since with great water comes great stinkability, the collar features a coated webbing that fends off the funk. Flip, slide, and lock the cam buckles for an easy-adjusting and, ultimately, an easy-wearing collar that’s comfortable for everyday wear.
Includes reflective screen printing, and several extra collar features: a separate ID tag attachment point on the new piton-inspired tag holder, a silicone tag silencer, and a strong leash attachment point for a confident connection on-leash.
Bivy Collapsible Dog Bowl – £33.95
It can be difficult to bring your dog’s normal bowls around with you, especially on walks where they may not fit in your bag. The welded, single-wall construction of this collapsible dog bowl is waterproof and keeps the bowl simple and quick to clean.
It’s engineered to have structure while expanded and pack flat when collapsed, as well as being portable and equally ready to hit the trail and stop for a water (or snack) break.
