【3COINS】Can a cool vest solve the problem of a dog that won’t walk because it’s too hot?

Summer walks with my dog can be a source of worry for owners. I had been taking measures like using neck rings, but for my particularly heat-sensitive dog, that alone wasn't enough to keep cool. So, I decided to try the "Cool Vest" from 3COINS.

This might be a necessity!? "Cool Vest" for my dog’s summer heat countermeasures

Although I walk my dog in the early morning during the summer to try to be in cooler hours, my dog still seems to be feeling the heat. This summer, there have been many times when he turns back after about 10 minutes, saying "That’s enough of the walk." Since he tends to lack exercise, I would like for him to walk as much as possible…

So, I decided to try 3COINS' "Cool Vest." I had a vest-type wear, but my dog, who is a hot natured Pomchi, seemed dissatisfied with it in the recent heat. I was looking for wear that could cool his whole body thoroughly, so this might be the ideal item.

Easy to put on and take off with snap buttons! Comfortable to wear

When I tried it on, it fit my 4.5kg dog perfectly. Because it uses snap buttons, it was easy to put on smoothly. The arm holes are designed generously, so it seems easy to run in.

The surface that directly touches you is made of mesh. It has good breathability, and the smooth texture seems to provide good comfort.

Let's start our walk by putting in the large included ice pack.

I will try putting in the big-sized ice pack that was included. It said, "Please cool it in a flat state for more than 5 hours before use," so I placed it in the freezer before going to bed. Since there were 2 ice packs included, it seems possible to carry them around in a cooler bag or something similar for long outings.

Once I closed the zipper, I was ready. Let's resume our walk.

Oh? The movement has stopped. It seems that they were surprised by the sudden coolness on their back. After about 30 seconds, they seemed to have gotten used to the comfort and started moving again.

My beloved dog was able to walk without any problems, but when the cold pack is added, it can become somewhat heavy, so for very small dogs like Chihuahuas, it might feel a bit too heavy. When my other Chihuahua wears it, I use a smaller cold pack that I prepare myself instead of the included one.

The transformation of my dog while walking is remarkable!

Before inserting the cold pack, my dog’s body was warm and toasty. Although the dog was walking, it was leisurely enjoying the stroll.

After setting the cold pack, I, the owner, also experienced its effects. The walking speed of my dog, which was on the verge of giving up just moments ago, increased! The rough breathing calmed down, and it seemed comfortable, enjoying the walk like a different dog.

When I put my hand between the cool wear and my dog’s back… the body that had been so hot was now cool. However, I might need to be careful on cooler days to ensure it doesn't get too cold.

On this day, we were able to walk for about 20 minutes, and the cold pack remained cold until we got home. After returning, my dog has a routine of cooling off in a spot where the air conditioning blows directly on it, but on this day, it seemed that was unnecessary. This seems to be an essential item for summer walks!
