Guides & advice
Clear, practical guides for keeping your dog more comfortable on everyday walks, journeys and days outdoors.
Measure around the widest part of the chest just behind the front legs, then the base of the neck. Compare both measurements to our size chart and choose the size where both fall within range. If your dog is between sizes, size up for comfort.
Water-activated fabrics absorb water and release it slowly as it evaporates. This helps support comfort during suitable warm-weather walks. Soak in cool water, wring out excess and fit before you head out. Re-wet as required.
Bring drinking water, a portable bowl, your cooling vest if it's warm, a shaded route plan and time for regular breaks. Avoid walking during the hottest part of the day.
Look for a leak-proof lid, a bowl that catches unused water, easy one-handed operation and a size that fits your usual bag. Stainless steel is easy to clean and lasts.
Rinse with cool water after each use, air dry away from direct heat and store flat in a dry place. Avoid machine washing unless the care label allows it.
