Overheating, Heat Exhaustion, Heat Stroke:
While evaporative cooling vests may help regulate body temperature and reduce the risk of overheating, proper precautions need to be taken, always. Different breeds, ages, activities, and weather conditions should be taken very seriously, and first-aid education is of utmost importance when dealing with heat related emergencies. Before your dog participates in any activity, it is always best to consult your vet.
Evaporative cooling vests work by utilizing the natural process of evaporation to draw heat away from the body, keeping the wearer cooler and more comfortable in hot conditions. However, it's crucial to understand that cooling vests are simply a preventative measure, not a treatment for heat stroke once it has occurred.
