For preventing heatstroke in my dog! A vest that can hold ice packs is great for summer walks
My beloved dog is sensitive to heat, and I'm always worried on hot and humid days during walks. Therefore, to make walks as comfortable as possible, I decided to get the "COOLING VEST" that can hold ice packs. This seems to work quite well.
If you're struggling to care for your beloved dog who doesn't handle the heat well, I discovered this

My Chihuahua is weak against the summer heat. Therefore, I try to take walks in the early morning or at night when the temperatures are lower, but even then, they quickly tire out. So, I tried using a product called "COOLING VEST" for my dog's care.
What is the dog cooling wear "COOLING VEST"?

It's a cooling vest that allows you to place an ice pack (MB Ice Pack) in a pocket on the back. The aluminum mesh lining of the pocket is said to help keep the cooling effect lasting longer.

Additionally, the ice packs (MB Ice Packs) included with this vest do not become rock-hard when frozen. They fit comfortably on your dog's body.

The parts that directly touch the body are made of contact cooling material, and even the parts without cooling packs are less likely to retain heat.

The back, which contains the cooling pack, was a part that did not interfere even when wearing a harness. I believe my slightly sensitive dog can enjoy walks without worrying. Not only does it have just the right amount of stretch, but it also has a wide opening around the arms, ensuring ease of movement.

Our dog has black fur, so it's hard to see in the dark, and we make sure to dress him in a noticeable color after sunset, but the peach color of the "COOLING VEST" has a fluorescent-like hue that stands out even from a distance. I also like that the length is short, making it less likely to get dirty during bathroom breaks.
During walks, it keeps cool for about 30 minutes with ease.

Normally, my dog would give up after walking for just 15 minutes... but on this day, he was able to enjoy a 30-minute walk. Upon touching him, I found that even after 30 minutes, the cooling pack was still cold.
Usually, my dog's body would be hot during walks, but on this day, he still looked cool. I think walking in the shade of trees also has an impact, but it seems that the effect of the "COOLING VEST" is significant.

This time it was a short outing, so one ice pack was enough, but when going out for longer, having a spare ice pack is reassuring! After hand washing, it dries quickly, so it seems sure to be useful on daily walks.
