Cooling Coats for Dogs Chiller ®

Our Chiller® coat is made of a material especially designed to hold water without wetting your dog. So while your dog stays dry and odour free, the Chiller® coat transfers heat away from the dog keeping him cool and comfortable in the hot sunshine. Your dog will be dry beneath the coat. It is the evaporation of the water from the coat that cools your dog rather than the cold water it holds. Thus, the ambient temperature will determine the rate of cooling as it determines the rate of evaporation. Your dog will be kept cool and not cold.

Whether lazing in the garden, travelling in the car or racing about in the mid-day sun, your dog will stay cool and refreshed.

Competition or pet dog – use your Chiller® coat whenever you need to keep your best friend cool. The Chiller® coat was designed for comfort.

Built to last, follow our washing and storage instructions to ensure longevity of your purchase.

Before fitting the Chiller® coat simply soak it in a bowl of water, then wring out the excess water, leaving plenty of water in it but without it dripping. Do not over-tighten the girth strap as your dog will need room to be able to lie down.

Measure from base of neck to start of tail or refer to our sizing page for further instructions.

Our chiller coat has a thick detachable girth strap that attaches to coat with velcro style hook and loop to ensure the coat stays put even when your dog is running around. Our cooling coat is ideal for use when out walking to keep your dog cool.

The final manufacturing procedure involves steaming the coats using a proven and safe anti-bacterial and fungicidal process. This is why your new coat will be damp in its bag. When new and clean and sealed correctly in its packaging, your coat can be stored safely for as long as you wish with no fear of mould or mildew. You may transport in a plastic bag or tube but never store it wet in bag or tube. For longest life and to avoid incorrect storage always allow it to dry naturally when not in use. While wet fold your coat to a convenient size for storage:-

1. Allow coat to dry naturally
2. It will dry hard (like a chamois leather)
3. To rejuvenate and make soft for use do not fold or bend or attempt to pull surfaces apart. Soak in water. As it absorbs the water, gently massage all areas to encourage absorption in all areas. Your coat will open as you do this, then use as normal. You should not bend, fold or pull it apart when dry as this product is made in layers with a mesh within and you may damage a surface, which will not impact performance, but will prove less aesthetically pleasing.

If you wash your coat then whether by hand or machine please note:

* Use cool water 30C .
* Do not use bleaches, sterilising agents as they will remove all colour from your coat. The coat will still cool your dog though.
* Wash and store different colours separately to avoid colour transfer.
* If you add anything to water use your usual washing powder or tablet without adding any conditioner.
* Always ensure when washing that the hook and loop fastenings (velcro style) are fastened together.
