    HOW TO KEEP YOUR DOG COOL THIS SUMMER
    Heat waves and sweltering summer days are upon us. And with our Swamp Cooler™ Collection, you and your dog can say yes to getting out more this summer rather than staying in.

    Ruffwear cooling gear is designed to help manage hot temps with the help of evaporative cooling. All you have to do is get the cooling gear wet, and evaporative cooling takes care of the rest. And if it dries while you're out, just re-wet it with a water bottle or a quick dip in a stream to recharge. 

    HOW DOES EVAPORATIVE COOLING WORK IN OUR COOLING DOG GEAR?
    When you step out of a lake, you may notice a cool feeling when your skin first hits the air. That's evaporative cooling.

    Since dogs don't sweat the same as humans, our cooling gear uses our three-layer Swamp Cooler™ Tech construction to absorb water and facilitate evaporation. It's that evaporation that helps cool the surface temp of your dog.

    We put our gear to the test in our studio-turned-lab with the help of some office dogs, a FLIR (Forward Looking InfraRed) camera, some data gathering tools, and a bounty of treats. And the data we gathered revealed that, on average, the dog's surface cooling rate is 6X greater than their baseline natural cooling rate when wearing cooling gear. 

    In these FLIR images, on the left, Bailey's surface temperature before wearing the Swamp Cooler™ Vest is 81.5°F (27.5°C). On the right, Bailey is wearing the Swamp Cooler™ Vest, and her surface temperature under the vest after 14 minutes is 71.8°F (22.1°C).
