cooling jackets
« on: April 17, 2008, 05:54:15 am »
When going  to shows, i have been seeing people throwing a cooling jacket on their dog.  It looks like just a jacket thrown on top of them.  Considering hot weather is now here...i think it would be wise if i purchased two (one for each, since jaz comes too......) does anyone know what i am talking about? I have seen an awesome one on ruffwear.com but i was wondering if anyone had any other brands

There was a wonderful article in Whole Dog Journal about them. They did a great survey of 5-7 companies that make them and found which ones are worth of spending money on.
I will have to go through my magazine library and let you know if I find it  ;)
