Golden Retriever Cooling Coat

Rain or shine, hot or cold, choose dog gear made for enjoying the outdoors. Hot summer days can put a strain on your Golden Retriever's system. If long periods of sun exposure are unavoidable and you'd like to help protect your pup from overheating, you'll want this breed-specific cooling coat designed specifically for your Golden Retriever. As with all Voyagers K9 Apparel gear, this coat is made to move with your active dog while providing superior protection from the elements. Our cooling coats provide warm climate protection through four unique features:  The fabric we use provides UV protection of UPF-15. The light blue color of the fabric reflects more wavelengths and absorbs less heat than the darker color tones of most dogs’ natural coats. The fabric employs an evaporative cooling technology. Evaporative cooling works when the coat is damp or wet. As it dries, heat is pulled away from your dog’s body. The belly band targets your dog's underside, an area crucial for effective heat exchange, providing quick and effective relief from the heat. Note on Durability: While this cooling coat is great for city walks, beach outings, and casual strolls, it is not suitable for rugged terrain or heavily wooded areas. The lightweight, breathable fabric is a knit blend designed for comfort and cooling and will develop snags if worn through brush or brambles. For high-impact outdoor adventures, we recommend more rugged gear. Why breed specific dog coats? There really is no such thing as "one size fits all" when it comes to dog coats. That's why these breed-specific dog coats are tailored to fit the unique body shape and proportions of a Golden Retriever. Evaporative cooling works when the coat is damp or wet. As it dries, heat is pulled away from your dog’s body. You can wet the coat one of two ways:  Run it underwater and wring it out before putting it on your pup. Use a spray bottle filled with water and mist the coat until it is lightly damp.
