We came across this at a trade show a few years back...
I am not one to push products and gadgets...I actually dislike those posts...with the exception of this one thing...which I believe can save lives and ACTUALLY WORKS!
Canine Cooling Vests [link

because we handle Coonhounds and they can be sensitive to the heat
...(night time hunting dogs with more play drive than common sense in the summer heat LOL)...and Beagles who sometimes just do not know when to quit when it is too hot ...we got started with a local wildlife conservatory who does a summer "Hot Dog" program on how to keep your dog safe and from overheating in the summer.
We have used these vest for a few years now...especially when we are at a rescue show or outdoors for some other reason
( we were at a show last summer when it was just too hot for us more less the dogs...and while alot of other groups dogs were panting, overheated, and many had to leave because of the heat...our dogs were comfortable and actualy wanting to play)...these vests do what they claim they will.
If you walk you dog in the summer...have a working dog that is outdoors in the summer...whatever...these vests work! They are a bit of a hassle as far as drying them and maintaining them...they have to be aired out and hung up properly...but other than that they work. I truely believe these vests are life savers!
