Sizing ChartRuff Wear Swamp Cooler Dog Jacket
On a warm sunny day, dogs will trot for the shade, lie down, and pant the heat away. They need an air-conditioner-a Ruffwear Swamp Cooler-to stay cool, happy and active. Dogs can beat the heat, staying cool while hiking and biking in the desert, playing on the beach, boating on open water under full sun, and waiting for their turn during outdoor agility trials in the heat. Outfit your dog in the Swamp Cooler and let the cooling begin!
- Uses evaporative cooling to keep dogs cool in the heat
- Exchanges the dog’s heat with the coolness of the stored water
- Releases the heat as the water evaporates
- Three-Layer construction maximizes cooling
- Top air-mesh layer generates evaporation, releasing heat
- Middle layer absorbs and stores the cooling water
- Bottom layer cools the dog
- Light color reflects sunlight and ultraviolet rays for added sun protection
- Auto-lock buckles adjust and hold for a custom fit

Constanza Bryant - 2009-09-24The Real Way to Cool a Dog
Perfect for Florida's hot weather. Before using it on my dog, I wrapped the jacket around my arm and went out during the hottest part of the day. The difference was amazing. The arm I covered with the vest was totally cool, while the other one was burning hot. I then used it on my dog and went for a nice walk. The Swamp Cooler Dog Jacket kept him perfectly cool. Best of all was the sale price at Altrec.
One drawback if you like to have a perfectly groomed poodle though. The jacket leaves the hair damp, which causes it to curl up.

This is a product must have for our furry four leggers in hot weather. Had product for approx. a week and has worked awesome for our Female Pug. She is so much happier and active. She can keep up on our short hikes and she cools quickly. Overheating was a huge concern, but now we are totally confident that she will be okay from sun and heat exposure here in sunny So. Cal. Just wished they had more color options...Pink :) for our girl.

My Golden Retriever stays cool when I walk her in the Texas heat (90 degrees at 0700) with this vest on. I can go for a 3+ mile walk without her tongue dragging on the concrete! Another quality product from Ruff Wear.

The swamp cooler jacket has been keeping our border collies cool as they work livestock. Dogs stay cool without feeling wet. The fit is accurate in the shoulders, but a little short for long, skinny dogs. All four of our dogs have their own jackets.

We've got a big black greyhound named Mojo that loves to be outside, but the summer heat gets to him very quickly. The Swamp Cooler has made a huge difference. In 104 degree heat his fur was 119, but the Swamp Cooler kept the covered area at 79!
Great design and coverage. I would definitely buy again.
Jasper - 2009-05-14Works great
Our black lab usually runs for the shade on a hot sunny day, not with this jacket. He loves it!
Dogs Lover - 2009-05-06Perfect for my little poodle mix
My dog gets hot very easily even she just has smooth coat. Vet recommends putting tower over her. When we went hiking, that would be really difficult. Finally this is an excellent product for her. She is really happy to go with me now.
Anonymous - 2009-04-20Great Product!
I have a Saint Bernard who loves to run 4 miles with me everyday. He is nine now and has begun to overheat, even in winter months. The swamp cooler vest has made his running with me more comfortable for him. Since our run is the highlight of his day, I am glad the vest has helped. Otherwise, he was going to have to start staying home. He is still very active for his age so the vest is going to get lots of use! Thank you!
Lynn Mallen - 2008-07-26Great item
The jacket is a real benefit for taking out my black dog for a walk. He used to get hot immedialtely, no longer.
Laurel - 2008-07-14Outdoor airconditioning for pups
This vest works great to keep my Rat Terrier cool during these hot humid days. She is much more comfy while on rat patrol around the farm now. She's given it a pretty tough road test too and its holding up quite nicely.
Cynthia - 2008-07-04Works great!
It works great! I have a big black mutt and live in TX - can you say HOT! He loves it 'cause now walks are longer than 5 mins. Do they make them for people?
Jan Kelly - 2009-08-31Glad we got it!
I looked at this once before and decided against it when someone said it left their dog wet. The second time I looked at it, all the reviews I read were good, so decided to try it. I stand on the deck and fling the jacket to get excess moisture out and the jacket works fantastic! We are able to use her harness under the jacket and attach the leash just above the neck of the jacket. It keeps her much cooler than no jacket: sun beating down on her long black fur. I wish it were a little bit tougher. The netting on the outside snags on brush and logs along the way. We've used it three times now and it's heading into our shoe repair guy to repair the seams between the jacket and under connecting piece.
Pa - 2009-06-13nice but....
Works good, but if you use a harness you will need to cut a hole in the jacket for the leash connection. Fits our stocky little french bulldog pretty good!
Anonymous - 2008-11-26This is a great vest
and has worked really well on my dogs. It fits really well and is easy to "activate". It really does seem to draw out the heat and keep them a lot cooler than they would have been without it A couple of cons about the coat though is that it really wets your dog and for some long hair dogs that is not ideal (especially if you are showing them e.t.c), and also it needs activating a lot because it dries out very quickly.
