Good Product

Keeps my GSD cool and comfortable when we can't avoid the heat. It is worth considering the sizing if you have a large dog. I measured my dog very carefully and ordered the L size as he was about 3 cm below the maximum for that size. It was far too small. K9 Pro were very helpful and changed it for the XL size, which fits him perfectly.

Swamp Cooler Zip Vest

Fits nice and snug. Lexi seems to enjoy wearing it, she hasn't tried to take it off. I put it on her when she travels in the car on warm days. It is very easy to soak and put on her. I first saw these at a rally trial, it was a 32 degree day and lots of dog owners were putting them on their dogs. I spoke to a couple of the dog owners and they thought the wet vests were awesome for keeping their dogs cooler. I bought one on my next visit to K9 Pro and am very happy with it.
