Swamp Cooler Cooling Dog Harness by Ruffwear

Description

The Swamp Cooler Harness from Ruffwear is a game-changer for three-legged dogs, providing both support and cooling technology to keep them comfortable on outdoor adventures. Three-layer construction offers UPF 50+ protection while actively cooling the back, chest, and belly through evaporative cooling – wicking away heat, storing water for evaporation, and keeping the dog dry with a breathable mesh lining.

The sturdy padded handle and load-dispersing chest/belly panel ensure balanced and comfortable lifting, crucial for tripawds needing extra support. With six points of adjustment, side-release buckles for easy on/off, and two leash attachment points, this harness provides a secure, customizable fit. Reflective trim and a light loop enhance visibility for low-light outings, making it an ideal solution for active three-legged dogs.

 

Ruffwear cooling gear is designed to help manage hot temps with the help of evaporative cooling. All you have to do is get the cooling gear wet, and evaporative cooling takes care of the rest. If the harness dries while you’re out, just re-wet it with a water bottle or a quick dip in a stream to recharge.

A note about front-leg amputees: Left leg must be lifted to place harness over dog’s head. Please keep in mind that without that fourth leg, all harnesses may shift a bit during the day. When sized and properly adjusted, however, harness should have have minimal shifting.

Harness Sizing

Take your dog’s girth measurement around widest part of chest while standing up for the perfect fit. See this video for measuring help.

• XXS: 13-17 in (33-43 cm)
• XS: 17-22 in (43-56 cm)
• SM: 22-27 in (56-69 cm)
• MED: 27-32 in (69-81 cm)
• LG/XL: 32-42 in (81-107 cm)

NOTE: In between sizes? Choose the larger size. Ruffwear suggests getting the larger size harness for dogs who measure in between sizes.

NOTE: We recommend NOT using any three legged dog harness until the surgery has completely healed and stitches or staples are removed. Direct pressure from the straps may irritate the wound. Please consult your veterinarian with any concerns.

We suggest using a soft towel slung under the belly if additional support is required in the meantime. A reusable canvas shopping bag slit down the sides also makes a handy temporary sling / harness for three legged dog. Find instructions for DIY Tripawd sling here.
