Newest Product Reviews for Chillybuddy Canine Cooling Jacket

Best Cooling Coat EVER!
I have three canine athletes that do multiple sports and outdoor activities. I currently have two Chillybuddy Canine Cooling Jackets (two boys share since they are similar in size). These cooling jackets are by far the easiest jackets to use. Dry or wet, they will most certainly keep your athlete comfortable after their agility run, flyball run, bikejoring tour, and general hiking during warm weather. I have had other brands of cooling coats before and have either sold or traded them away. I will ONLY use this jacket for my boys. My boys love wearing these jackets, they are light-weight and very flexible to wear while in their kennels waiting for their next run. I HIGHLY recommend these jackets for your athletes.

Runs Small and seems to shrink
I think this product keeps our 37 lb border collie cooler but I also feel the sizing is off. I measured twice and still the medium is too short on his back compared to the picture. I thought it would still do but it seems to get smaller every time I use it.

Belly Band Is HUGE
The belly band is HUGE. I measured and ordered accordingly and the band is just to large. The band also stretches. Not real thrilled with this product. I guess I was hoping for a better product and this just is not it. It is very light weight

Strange sizing for active dogs
I bought this coat for my border collie. Based on the size guide, he was closest to a medium. But, when I received it, the jacket was slightly short in the back and had a HUGE belly band - by several inches beyond the velcro closure. Even if I made adjustments myself, the rear sides of the jacket stick out awkwardly, making it an overall poor fit for my dog, especially considering the cost. Since I'm afraid that sizing up will just make it huge all-around, this is going back for a refund. Disappointed as I was so looking forward to having this for when we run Fast CAT.

This one actually work!
I have tried multiple coats to protect my black, thick coated dogs from solar related heat. This works the best of them all. I particularly like that it works well even without adding water and that it creates evaporative cooling (like a swamp cooler) for even more intense cooling if you dunk it in water or douse it in the go. I will agree that the mesh can get snags if the dogs are playing hard with other dogs. But the coat still works well even with a few pulled loops. And the functionality is what is important to me. Anytime the dogs wear the coats we get oodles of compliments and questions. Have recommended hundreds of times and will continue to do so.

Love it, but needed significant alterations
I bought a Chillybuddy for one of my dogs about ten years ago and it's always been my favorite cooling coat. The design is fantastic and it does a great job doing what it's supposed to do. I bought a small for my 15.5"/20lb sheltie based on his back length of 19". The size of the coat is perfect, but the belly band that came with it was astronomically long. I had to triple-fold the excess fabric over itself and sew it all together to shorten the belly band by over half its length. Now it's perfect. Given that this website markets largely to sporting dogs, you'd think they'd realize they aren't obese. I wish there was a way to make the belly band adjustable or easier to size.
Comment from Clean Run Thank you for sharing your fitting experience. Unfortunately, we don't manufacture the product so we don't control the design. The company sells to dogs of all types. But, if we can get enough feedback about adjustments in the design being needed, they will sometimes change things. The other company we were work with for cooling coats sells us extra belly bands so that we can give the customer a smaller or larger one than normally comes with the coat. So we will pass the information on.
