Perfect Cooling Dog Clothes: How to Choose the Right Fi

Understanding the Mechanism

While the previous article touched upon the working principle of the CoolyCloth, the explanation was not very detailed.

When a drop of water transitions from a liquid to a gaseous state, it requires energy, which is drawn from the heat surrounding the water. Therefore, the more water evaporates into vapor, the cooler the surrounding temperature becomes.

The unique material of the CoolyCloth accelerates the evaporation rate of moisture on the clothing, and some advanced versions even include a conductive layer to further enhance the rate of heat dissipation.

Important Note: The CoolyCloth is highly effective in dry regions due to the faster evaporation process in dry air. However, its effectiveness is relatively lower in humid areas.

Selection Criteria

Although all CoolyCloths may appear similar at first glance, there are significant differences between each type. Here are some key points to consider before making a purchase:

1. Size

Don't assume that a "small dog universal" label means it will fit your Teddy perfectly. Measure according to the manufacturer's guidelines, as each brand may have different sizing methods. Be prepared with a measuring tape.

2. Working Time

The longer the evaporation time, the cooler it will be for your dog. There's no need to consider a CoolyCloth that dries up in just 5 minutes. Generally, a CoolyCloth that takes about 15 minutes to dry is considered to be of good quality.

3. Sun Reflection

Some advanced CoolyCloths come with a sunreflective feature. Don't underestimate this function; it allows the CoolyCloth to continue working even after it dries. The only downside is that it can be more expensive.

4. Reflective Strips

Yes, that's the reflective coating that makes it visible at night.

Even though urban lighting is abundant in China, if you prefer to walk your dog in less populated areas or at night, a CoolyCloth with reflective strips is a musthave.

5. Chest and Back Straps

This is a feature that budget CoolyCloths often lack.

It not only serves as a CoolyCloth but also as a chest and back strap. Don't think of this as just a marketing ploy by manufacturers; a collar can be harmful to dogs, so you wouldn't want to add a chest strap over a CoolyCloth, would you? Therefore, CoolyCloths with chest strap functionality are also worth considering.

6. Inner Layer

The CoolyCloth is a combination of breathable mesh and absorbent cotton.

While it may seem ordinary, the key to preventing your dog from developing skin diseases due to moisture is the breathable mesh. Be sure to inspect the material that will be in direct contact with your dog's skin when purchasing.
