The summers can be brutal here in Australia. Despite the heat our dogs require exercise for their health and for their sanity. Not all breeds are cut out for this climate. The Swamp Cooler is great for breeds who have difficulty in the heat. It's also fabulous for sporty dogs who are going to play despite the heat.
Your dog can beat the heat, staying cool while hiking and biking in the desert, playing on the beach, boating on open water under full sun or waiting for their turn during outdoor agility trials in the heat.
How it works
Just soak the coat completely with cold water. Wring out the excess. Silde your dog's head through the neck hole and fasten the buckles at the rib cage. And off you go! It's simple and straight forward. The Swamp Cooler will keep your dog cool for several hours (depending on how hot it is) and then you can renew the evaporative power wherever you can find water.
Features
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 effects:
- 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

I cannot believe the difference the Swamp Cooler has made to Mysti. Usually during the summer heat she can only walk a couple of hours if we start early in the morning, any walking through extreem heat and she pants like a freight train and refuses to walk until she gets her breath back. Being a little black dog she seems to heat up faster than her lighter coloured companions. We have just come home from Hunter Valley where the temperature has ranged between 34 -39C. I put on the Swamp Cooler and kept it topped up with water (put an extra 1.5ltrs in the backback) - we hiked for 4 to 6 hours per day with Mysti hardly raising a pant. There were times when Mysti was running around like a crazy dog. I am still shaking my head in wonder at this simple solution to a very stressful problem.
