Kirkbourne Handmade Cooling Coat for Dogs

Keep your dog comfortable and protected during warm weather with the Kirkbourne Cooling Coat – expertly handmade in the UK using innovative cooling fabric technology.

Crafted from a soft, lightweight non-woven foam fabric, this coat absorbs and retains water to create an effective evaporative cooling effect. Once activated with water, the fabric becomes noticeably cool to the touch, helping to regulate your dog's body temperature even on hot days. A reinforced internal mesh layer provides exceptional strength and durability while allowing excellent airflow.

Key Features

✔ Effective Core Cooling – Unlike standard cooling blankets that only cover your dog's back, the Kirkbourne Cooling Coat features a unique underbelly strap that cools the chest and core, where it matters most.

✔ Cools Below Ambient Temperature – The advanced mesh construction encourages airflow and evaporation, helping your dog stay cooler than the surrounding air temperature.

✔ Comfortable & Lightweight – Designed to keep your dog cool without weighing them down.

✔ Keeps Your Dog Dry – Although the coat remains damp to maintain its cooling effect, your dog's coat stays surprisingly dry and comfortable.

✔ Machine Washable – Easy to clean and maintain.

✔ Handmade in the UK – Quality craftsmanship and attention to detail in every coat.

Why Choose a Kirkbourne Cooling Coat?

Many cooling coats simply sit on your dog's back, offering limited relief. The Kirkbourne design slips easily over your dog's head and features a secure underbelly strap that wraps around the chest, allowing vital body heat to dissipate more efficiently. This full-body cooling approach helps your dog stay comfortable for longer, whether you're walking, training, travelling, or enjoying a day outdoors.

Simple to Use

• Soak the coat in water.
• Wring out excess water until damp but not dripping.
• Slip over your dog's head.
• Fasten the underbelly strap securely using the hook-and-loop closure.

The coat will remain cool for several hours, depending on weather conditions. If it begins to dry out, simply re-wet to reactivate the cooling effect.
