dog cooling collar

Some of you may know that Chance overheats very easily as it's a common thing with ambulls, and he can throw up a bit when he's hot. We do various things to help cool him down with damp cloths and wetting his head and such. but i've been looking for a collar that could help keep him cool.

I know there are alot of vests out there that are supposed to keep them cool, but I will still be working them in the summer to keep their exercise up so they need to wear harnesses and i'd rather not put them over a vest.

So i've been recommended these from a lass in america and alot of working dogs tend to have them on as they don't get in the way. I have contacted them to see what sort of delivery price i'm looking at as the collars aren't to pricey.

I'm hoping it won't be to much 'cos i really like the look of them

Shall let you know if i can get a couple ordered and see how they fair

Nice, I hope it works, be useful for all the exercise when it's really hot out I read that splashing their chest and paws with water helps cool them down?

yes that does cool them down, as does wiping down between their back legs and armpits I don't mind doing it just looking for something to help prevent it so much

They look great

We have something similar for Suki as well

It'll be interesting to see if they work. If they do, and the postage isn't too bad, I might get one for Demps.

looks like a great idea , think I'd be interested too as Tilly is a real panter

Turns out the postage isn't to bad but you need an american credit card to pay like american express which i don't have. But i have found them on ebay so will be buying the from there next month which works out a little more expensive but i don't mind

It would have a worked out for 2 medium collars and a medium refill pack + postage at roughly £50 direct from them

If they work it might be worth it.

yer that's what i'm thinking, i'm going to buy them from ebay anyway, but i like the idea that you can use the ice packs for in doors and then put ice init when they are outside so it melts to cool them down

Sounds like a good idea. My fella really struggle in the heat too.

well i now have 2 collars and a refill pack preordered, so that i can pay next month and they can be shipped straight away

Well I've paid for 2 collars and refill pack and got them off eBay in the end a week ago so hoping not got to wait to long

thought you'd got them ages ago just forgot as its not really been "hot" until the last week or so , keep us posted , poor Tilly was panting like buggery out today

nah they have to come from america!

Romeo over heats shockingly easy... i hope they sell them here!

I had to get the off ebay as they don't sell them in the UK and they are from america as that's where they are made
