The temperature is rising, and we are seeing more and more of those sunny, blue-sky days that we love so much. So it’s time to start thinking about protecting your furry friends from those UV rays, just like you would for yourself. Here at Slickers, we love our pooches more than anything, and we want them to join us on our summer adventures, that’s why we stock the KeepCool Dog Coat, perfect for pups that want to stay cool and safe in the heat of a summer’s day. Here’s five reasons why we think you should grab one before they are gone!

1. Multiple sizes and colours

We know it’s important to keep your dog cool in the summer heat, but we also know how important it is for them to look stylish whilst doing so! That’s why this KeepCool Dog Coat comes in a variety of sizes and colours, so every pooch gets their perfect match. From blue and lemon, to mint, pink and purple, and ranging from XX-SMALL to XX-LARGE, there really is something for every dog out there.

2. Keeps your dogs cool for up to four hours

That’s right. What is the point of having a cool coat that only lasts for one hour? The beauty of this KeepCool Dog Coat is that it lasts for four! Great for when you want to set off on a summer adventure, and take your dog with you for the ride, just activate by water and you are good to go. 

3. It is used by a wide range of businesses

They are also used by the MOD, other Government Agencies, Flyball Teams, Obedience/Agility Training, and by many top show dogs. It has been personally tested by the Government Agencies and they have found that this product is the best on the market for what it does.

4. It’s super easy to use

Made from a unique synthetic microporous material that is activated by water. As it puts moisture into the product, the capillary action of the microporous material and the controlled evaporation actually cools your dog more than the outdoor air without making them wet. It is also super absorbent – absorbing six times faster and holds 100% more water than any other material. These KeepCool Dog Coats are easy to use – just soak in cool water for a few minutes (no refrigeration necessary), lightly wring out and place on your dog.

5. It can aid in the recovery of illness

KeepCool Dog Coats have helped dogs with illnesses that cause breathing difficulties in the heat and have saved lives. They can be worn 24/7, help prevent panting and moderate breathing, thus relieving stress for the dog. It has been tested with a thermal imager that showed that the cool coat will help an already overheated dog reduce its temperature to normal within five to ten minutes. This KeepCool Dog Coat is incredibly handy to keep on you at all times, for you never know when that sunshine will show its face!

We cannot stress enough how important it is to keep your dog safe and well during the heat this summer.
