FAQs
Find answers to the most common questions about design, function, and care to help you shop with confidence.
How do I choose the right size for my dog?
We recommend measuring your dog’s chest and back, then matching those numbers to our size guide. Our pieces are tailored for small-dog breed proportions, and each size includes up to 5 cm of adjustability for a secure, comfortable fit.
If you’re between sizes, size up for the best movement and comfort.
Can the vest be worn daily in warm climates?
Yes. The vest is lightweight, breathable, and designed for everyday wear in warmer weather. Small dogs who run warm can comfortably use it for regular walks, park outings, or café moments.
Just make sure to monitor your dog in extreme heat — daily cooling gear supports comfort, but doesn’t replace safe heat practices.
What’s the best way to activate and maintain the cooling effect?
The vest works in two ways: 1. Passive cooling: Lightly soak the vest, squeeze out excess water, and let the evaporative mesh do the work. 2. PCM-compatible cooling: Insert a fully frozen PCM pack (1–2 hours of relief depending on heat and activity). 3. Passive cooling + PCM:Combine both methods to extend the cooling duration on hotter days.
Re-wet or replace the PCM if your dog needs longer cooling on hot days.
Is the vest machine washable and easy to care for?
Yes. The vest is designed for simple, everyday care. Wash cold on a gentle cycle and air dry. Avoid bleach, heat, and tumble drying. Remove the PCM insert before washing.
Does the fabric stay soft and durable after repeated use?
Yes. Our materials were chosen for long-term comfort and resilience. The ripstop outer, cooling mesh, and in lining are all designed to stay soft, hold their shape, and maintain performance through repeated wear and washes.
