Description

Cooling vests? Expensive, often disappointing, and it’s another thing you have to buy and put on your dog.

Cooling harnesses solve that last problem, but many are WAY too expensive and often do the “cooling” part well, but fall very short on the “harness” part.

Enter the Beast & Buckle Cooling Dog Harness. It’s a highly effective and adjustable harness on its own before you get to its magical cooling effects. Through evaporative cooling, this harness uses the air around you (and a little bit of water) to keep you nice and cool. The best part – it’s super-easy to activate and takes just a couple of minutes!

This cooling harness features a tropical sunset pattern!

Why you and your human will love this harness:

Keeps you cool – The cooling properties of the harness can be activated with just a little water – no pricy ice packs or other accessories needed.
Perfect fit – Made with the same shape and strap system as our popular No Pull harness! The straps are very adjustable, allowing for a customized fit for dogs of varying neck/body ratios and body shapes.
Built for everyday comfort – No cooling needed? No problem! This can be used without the cooling effects as a very capable harness that will keep you supported and comfortable on your daily strolls.
Cute as a button – It wouldn't be a Beast & Buckle harness if it didn't look like a million bucks...and this one is no exception! No more plain, boring harnesses :)

How to Use the Cooling Harness

Prior to the first use, adjust the harness to a snug fit.
Before placing the harness on your dog for a walk, cover the harness with temperate water.
Wring out excess water so that the harness is damp but not dripping wet.
Place the harness on your dog and enjoy your walk!
Remove the harness from your dog and let it air dry.
Hand- or machine-wash, as needed, with detergents with minimal dyes and scents to remove dirt or odors.
Always air dry...never machine dry.

Important Safety Information

This cooling harness helps keep your dog comfortable in warm weather when it is still safe to be outside. Do NOT use it to take your dog out in temperatures warmer than what you would normally find comfortable for a walk.

The harness relies on evaporative cooling, which works best in low- to medium-humidity conditions during the daytime. We do not recommend using it in high-humidity environments or at night.

Watch your dog closely during outdoor activity in hot weather. If you notice signs of heat stress, such as excessive panting, drooling, or lethargy, bring them inside immediately and seek veterinary care.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does it work? Can it be used anywhere?

The harness uses a process called evaporative cooling when soaked with water. Because this process is most effective when there is less moisture in the air, we recommend using it in environments that are either dry or medium-humidity.

It looks kind of like the No Pull harness…is the sizing the same?

Yes – the sizing, shape, and adjustment/strap system for our Cooling Harness is identical to those for our No Pull harness. Dogs will wear the same size in our Cooling Harness as they do in our No Pull harness.

Can I use this as an everyday harness without using the cooling effects?

Absolutely! This is a very capable harness on its own without activating the cooling properties. It provides more than enough support for most dogs and is very comfortable. Perfect for daily walks!

What things are different between the Cooling Harness and No Pull Harness?

The materials used for the base of the harness are different as the requirements for the cooling process are different than what is needed to provide the extra neck and spine support needed for major pullers. The materials used for the No Pull harness are also necessary to properly support a safety handle and a D-ring on the chest, so those are not present on the cooling harness. The cooling harness is 10-20% lighter, depending on size.

Is this suitable for dogs with pulling, reactivity, or medical issues?

While this harness can easily handle the normal pulling every dog does sometimes when they walk, dogs with issues with pulling, reactive behavior, or physiological conditions (like IVDD) should stick with the No Pull harness.

Wash & Care

Protect your gear:

Keep away from dogs when not in use
Do not store in extremely hot or cold locations
Use as intended to minimize wear + tear and extend the lifetime of your gear. Using items outside of their designed function (such as indoor use) may result in accelerated wear.
Avoid contact with saltwater or lake water

Clean your gear:

Because the Cooling Harness is designed to be worn while damp, it should be washed with soap or detergent upon noticing any signs of odor or "wet dog" smell
Machine-washable; hand/spot-washing preferred
Use of a mesh laundry bag to separate your gear from other items is highly recommended
Avoid detergents/soaps with heavy dyes or strong scents
ALWAYS air dry – NEVER machine dry

Why You'll Love It

Simple, quick cooling

The harness uses evaporative cooling to keep your dog cooler and more comfortable in warmer temperatures using nothing but a little bit of water.

Lightweight but very supportive

Unrestricted motion in the front legs

The harness is designed to specifically sit in specific areas of the body to ensure unencumbered range of motion in the front legs – essential for avoiding strain, injuries and aggravations to the joints and spine.

3-layer cooling system

A special multi-layered body of lightweight fabrics keeps you cool and comfortable through evaporative cooling.

Locking neck buckle

Extra protection through a secure locking mechanism...and no pulling the harness over your head.

How does the Cooling harness work? Can it be used anywhere?

How do I use the harness to cool down my dog?

The process is very easy and your harness will be ready to cool things down quickly. Here's what to do:

Prior to the first use, adjust the harness to a snug fit.
Before placing the harness on your dog for a walk, cover the harness with temperate water.
Wring out excess water so that the harness is damp but not dripping wet.
Place the harness on your dog and enjoy your walk!
Remove the harness from your dog and let it air dry.
Hand- or machine-wash, as needed, with detergents with minimal dyes and scents to remove dirt or odors.
Always air dry...never machine dry.

Can I use the Cooling harness as a normal harness without using the cooling properties?

Absolutely!

This is a very capable harness on its own without activating the cooling properties. It provides more than enough support for most dogs and is very comfortable. Perfect for daily walks :)

The Cooling harness looks kinda like the No Pull harness...is the sizing the same?

What things are different between the Cooling Harness and No Pull Harness?

Is the Cooling harness adjustable?

The Cooling harness is VERY adjustable. It can be adjusted to a wide range of settings at both the neck and torso for a completely personalized fit for your dog.

Are all four straps adjustable? Can I adjust the neck strap that doesn't have a buckle?

Yes – all four straps are adjustable :)

Adjusting the neck strap without a buckle on it is very easy! If you're looking at the chest area of the harness, loosen the strap by moving the black strap clip to the left towards the pocket on the chest from which the strap comes out of. To tighten it, move it to the right as far as needed.

Pro tip – the black strap can be moved through the elastic strap loop that holds the strap in place. This gives you lots of extra room to tighten!

Does the Cooling harness need to be pulled over my dog's head?

No – the harness unbuckles at the neck, so it doesn't need to be pulled over the dog's head or ears at all.

Is this suitable for dogs with pulling, reactivity, or medical issues?

Nora’s new favorite harness
We love all our Beast and Buckle harnesses and we’re so happy when they added a cooling harness to their website. We found this cooling harness to be perfect for our everyday potty trips. It’s just the right amount of cooling without a lot of bulk and doesn’t drip all over like our cooling vests.

I'm so glad you love it!

We took our time and looked at the existing cooling options available elsewhere to create something that was better AND more affordable. I think we've hit the mark :)

Thank you, Lisa!

Cooling in the Island
I really love the Island Sunset cooling harness and leash bundle. The colors look amazing on my Frenchie. The fit is perfect, but I only give it 4 stars because we really needed the front hook.

Hi Amanda,

I'm glad you love the new cooling harness!

Regarding the front hook – if that's a must, we recommend sticking with our No Pull harness that you've ordered previously. Unfortunately, adding the front hook involves a lot more than just putting it on the chest of the harness. The rest of the harness needs to be properly designed to support it, and that means doing specific things that might not be suitable for certain kinds of harnesses.

In this case, the issue is the materials used for the body of the harness. The cooling harness (to perform the cooling effects) needs to be made using a very different set of materials than those for our No Pull harness. While we can still make the cooling harness a strong and capable harness that can handle a wide variety of dogs, it cannot meet the VERY high bar we set for the physiological requirements necessary to employ a front hook in our products.

This isn't a knock on the cooling harness at all – a front hook is a very specialized feature that most harnesses do not need and should not include. While we do see a number of brands throw a front hook on their harnesses regardless of the materials and structure of their harnesses, we believe that this is a big problem in the current harness market. The safety, comfort, and physiological health of the dogs using our products will always come first, and that means that we will only employ certain features on our harnesses when we feel that it is appropriate and safe.

I hope this information helps!
