SGODA Dog Cooling Vest Harness Cooler Jacket Grey Green Medium

I bought the SGODA Cooling Vest for my 70 lb bully mix who gets overheated easily in the summer, and it has been a game-changer! He wears an XL, and the fit is perfect for him. Pros: Effective Cooling: The difference is noticeable—he’s not panting as much and stays comfortable on hot walks. Easy to Use: Just soak the vest in water, wring it out, and put it on. It’s simple to set up and works immediately. Perfect Fit: The XL size fits my large dog perfectly, with no slipping or discomfort. Improves Walks: He can now enjoy walks even on hot summer days without overheating. Cons: Initial Setup: My dog doesn’t love the process of putting on a damp vest, but once it’s on, he’s happy and comfortable. Real-Life Experience: This cooling vest has made a huge difference for my pup. Before, he would overheat and need to cut walks short, but now he’s able to enjoy the outdoors without discomfort. It’s become an essential item for us during summer. Final Thoughts: If your dog struggles with the heat, the SGODA Cooling Vest is a fantastic investment. It’s effective, easy to use, and has significantly improved my dog’s comfort and ability to enjoy summer walks. Highly recommend!

I live in Phoenix. Last summer we had a solid month of 110+ degree days. This summer I have a new, high energy dog and I knew he’d make both our lives hell if I couldn’t find a way to keep him exercised. So I bought this vest back in April. It’s now June, most days are already over 100 degrees and often close to 110, and we use this thing daily. We don’t walk in the worst parts of the day, of course. But this morning we did a 5.25 mile, 2 hour walk, with the temp rising from 80 degrees to 88, and he only started panting in the last 15 minutes or so. He only needed one drink of water about mid-walk. It’s amazing. Some caveats: this works by evaporative cooling, so idk how well it would work in humid climates. Here in the dry-as-bone desert, it works GREAT—but the water evaporates so fast that I usually have to add water a few times during a long walk. It’s best to press the mouth of the water bottle directly against the fabric. If I just pour it over, most of the water runs off before it soaks in. Also, I keep keep the whole soaking wet vest in a ziploc bag in the refrigerator, and I even pop it into the freezer for just a few minutes before we go. It starts him off on the walk nice and cool. My only other complaint is that the elastic loop that lets you adjust the fit of the waist is located very inconveniently for male dogs. You can use a paper clip to tuck it out of the way against the vest, but still. Annoying. My dog is 12 lb and wears an XS. It’s a little bit loose on him when he’s freshly groomed (he’s a poodle mix), but when his fur is longer it’s perfect. The neon yellow has faded a bit, but who cares? The thing works. The loops to attach his leash have held up perfectly, although he is small and not a puller so YMMV. (Note: the neon leash in my pics is not included, I bought that separately.)

My husband thought I was crazy when we bought this, but we use it nearly every day during this hot summer! We have a 23lb mini goldendoodle puppy, and the small fits her perfectly. I like how it has a double zipper for if she grows just a few more pounds and you can extend the chest width. I have a few thoughts: My last dog HATED water, and my current puppy loves it. This is only a theory, but I think that dogs who hate water might be unhappy wearing it. My pup licks the water on her chest for a few seconds after it’s put on, but otherwise she’s entirely comfortable while wearing it. Also, if we’re out for a while and it dries out, I can just pour more water on her. I know that with my last dog, this would have been an absolute dealbreaker. It has anti-UV light reflection, which helps your dog stay cool, but when it dries out it doesn’t do the cooling job as effectively. The final thing is that the plastic pieces that you hook your leash onto are slightly inconvenient. They’re widely spaced and you have to try to fumble with them to get your leash attached to both. I’ve found that it helps to loop one side and then the other with the metal clasp on the end of the leash! Other than those things, this is well worth buying and very effective! I place my hand beneath the harness to check the temperature of the vest, and it stays cool for a very long time.

I have a black doodle mix who is always very hot even in the shade and is not really an "outside" dog. We have a lake house and are always outside. He does not like the water and won't get in the lake. So I was looking for some relief for him in the TX heat. I put the vest in the lake water and then put it on him. After some time I felt his fur under the vest and he was cool to the touch and was not panting as he had been. The vest was no longer wet to the touch when I did this. This really helped keep my dogs temperature down. I would recommend!

My boy has MMM, an autoimmune disease that destroyed his jaw muscles. So he overheats quickly. This vest helps a LOT to keep him cool in the dreaded heat. It has 2 different zipper tracks so it will fit your pup specifically, tightens on the underbelly, and has attached harness clips. Zip it up inside out and it washes with no issue (yes I already had to wash mine and have had it for 5 seconds lol). Highly recommend.

It’s probably my dog. She doesn’t even like to wear a collar. Nothing that she wasn’t born with. Had to convince her she could walk in it. Never could convince her she could sit in it. It fit very well in either Zipper setting. Watered it down & put in freezer. Worked it so it was flexible before putting it on her. Didn’t seem to keep the cool very long. Poured cold water on it but didn’t seem to help. I could say more, either good or bad. But it’s dinner time & I’m hungry. Oh, well made, good quality

So here is why I picked this item over the others. I have a small black dog and we live in New Mexico. It is dry and hot here. My dog was really struggling in the direct sun, even at 70 degrees. The sun hits his back and he starts to itch and will just sit down and not move. I read the review by the veterinarian (find it and read it) and that sold me. This vest is a bit more expensive, but it also has three layers of fabric rather than 1 or 2 in some of the others. The light color reflects that sun. With the three layers, it stays damp longer and in the dry climate, I definitely needed that. My dog has been able to walk for an hour without losing the cooling factor. It works too. He does not slow down while we are walking and so far it has tested out at 85 degrees with no problem. I use boots or mushers secret on his feet to protect from heat on the street. It is worth the extra money for the extra thickness. I know that when I was thinking about a cooling vest, it seemed counter intuitive to put layers on top of my dog's hair, but the evaporative cooling process really works. I highly recommend this vest! It has been a life saver.

I don’t typically leave reviews. However, this product is so good I would like to help other owners. I’m a veterinarian and have a cream French bulldog. These dogs are prone to over heating fast. I bought this for our trip home to Alabama. It’s done great but I really tested it today. My dog loves riding on the mower with me. We just spent two hours cutting grass. I stopped once to offer water and re soak the vest. He was not panting I’m just extra cautious. The vest was still cool as was he under the vest. It could of lasted the entire two hours without re-wetting. Two hours in full sun with his vet on, it’s 93 degrees and 79% humidity and he never even started to pant. Even after getting off the mower he was comfortable enough to just play in the grass. This is literally a lifestyle changer for me and my dog in the heat. Now my dog is accustomed to sweaters in winter so he had no problem with the vest or any other clothing. It actually fits really well my dog is a muscular 8 month old French bulldog who weighs 17 pounds. I’ve washed and let air dry and he’s worn it almost daily for a month and it’s holding up well. My dogs only 17 pounds of pure muscle but it’s worked as a harness well. I would HIGHLY recommend this product. This could prevent so many heat strokes I see as a vet. Absolutely so glad I bought this. My app won’t allow me to add pictures right now but I will say it has two zippers so it can adjust to fit dogs as they grow or those that aren’t a perfect one size fits all.

My 10 year old Yorkie has been getting less and less heat tolerant, but he loves nothing more than a nap in the sunshine on our deck. I had a hard time finding one for his size — he’s pretty tiny, only 8 pounds, but this fits him perfectly! True to size for sure. I’ve been super impressed with it the last couple weeks. Before, he’d be outside in the sunshine for 10 minutes before he’d start panting, and then I’d have to drag him inside (he would give himself heatstroke if it were up to him. I’ve tried cooling towels before and they’ve never worked because he refuses to use them. This thing is great because I’m basically forcing him to stay cool). Now, he’s not panting at all, and the vest keeps him cool for a good couple hours before I wet it again. He seems very comfortable, and it definitely puts my mind at ease. In fact, we had to go inside today because *I* was overheating. He was totally fine and dandy. Would definitely recommend!!

Einfaches Prinzip und funktioniert tadellos bei heißen Außentemperaturen. Die Reißverschlüsse Auge richtig gut verarbeitet. Ich bin mehr als zufrieden

My dog is 10 moths pug, he could not leave with out it keeps him very cool..

This arrived just as the heat wave in British Columbia began. It was 30 degrees today, and it is only May! I have used a cooling vest for years now, and the old one needed replacing. This one is way better than my previous one. It has a double zipper, I assume for different widths of dogs and it was nice and comfy on my pup Acorn. It is really well made with two layers, so when both layers are wet, it lasts longer. If you are out for longer you just wet it again. I also like that you don't need a harness with this one. We had a good walk in the park, mostly in the shadier parts and Acorn was perfectly happy. Just remember to keep your pups off the concrete and tarmac so they don't burn their paws.

Personally, I will rarely use it because of the size of my dog, but if you have a dog, that’s 10 pounds and up this is a very well-made product.
