{"product_id":"ice-paws-cooling-dog-coat-xs-xxl","title":"Ice Paws Cooling Dog Coat – XS to XXL","description":"\u003cp\u003eDogs regulate body temperature almost entirely through panting and the pads of their paws — both slow and limited processes when the air temperature is high. The Ancol Ice Paws cooling coat works by a different and more direct mechanism: soak it in cold water, put it on your dog, and the gradual evaporation of water from the fabric draws heat away from their body throughout the session. It can be re-soaked and reapplied as often as needed throughout the day, making it practical for long walks, outdoor events, or any dog prone to overheating in warm weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEvaporative cooling that begins immediately:\u003c\/strong\u003e The moment the wet coat is on, the evaporation process starts.

Measure from the base of the neck to the base of the tail for back length, and around the widest part of the body behind the front legs for girth.

When the wet fabric is in contact with your dog's body, the water evaporates and draws heat away from the skin. The effect is gradual and sustained rather than instant, and it continues for as long as the coat remains damp. On a warm day with air movement, expect meaningful cooling for 20 to 40 minutes before re-soaking is needed.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"border:0.5px solid #d3d1c7;border-radius:8px;margin-bottom:8px;overflow:hidden\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"padding:14px 18px;cursor:pointer;background:#f1efe8;font-size:14px;font-weight:500;color:#2c2c2a;list-style:none\"\u003eIs it safe to leave my dog unattended while wearing the coat?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding:14px 18px;font-size:14px;color:#444441;line-height:1.65;border-top:0.5px solid #d3d1c7\"\u003eWe would not recommend leaving your dog unsupervised in any item of clothing or apparel, including this coat.

Let your dog sniff and inspect it first, then try putting it on briefly indoors with a reward.
