Zentek Clothing has released a new style of canine vest that can be easily worn to keep dogs cool in summer.

This new quick-wrap style product is designed to flex with the dog and wrap its body in Zentek’s cooling, moisture-wicking technology. The vest utilizes phase-change materials to adaptively cool the animal and provide maximum comfort and safety in hot weather, especially in southern states.

This new vest has been released to provide the owners of pets who might not cooperate when wearing more traditional dog vests with a less obtrusive option. Zentek’s quick-wrap vest can be applied in moments and is designed to be as unrestrictive as possible while still applying their cooling technology to the dog’s chest and stomach, where much of the blood flow occurs.

This technology has been devised in order to combat the risk posed by the “wet bulb effect”, which is a phenomenon that prevents natural cooling from occurring in humans and animals alike in certain atmospheric conditions. This vest counteracts the wet bulb effect by wicking the heat away from the animal’s body without the use of moisture or evaporation, providing consistent cooling in all conditions.

These vests are available for animals of all sizes and are fully adjustable. The strap-and-velcro design wraps the dog’s torso tightly without restricting the movement of the legs, which is an aspect of traditional dog clothing that may upset some animals.

The phase change materials, or PCMs, used in this and other Zentek products are highly engineered and designed to work in any environmental condition, warm or cool. In warm weather, the materials pull heat away from the animal’s body and redistribute it, while in cool weather, the materials can insulate an animal’s body and keep body heat locked in.

These quick-wrap style vests are one of several styles offered by Zentek, who also carry a wide range of pet clothing and accessories.

The vests are constructed from high-quality nylon fabric and powerful, fur-resistant velcro that is designed to stay stuck regardless of how vigorously an animal moves. These vests also feature a high-visibility reflective chest label and can be customized with the dog’s name and the owner’s contact information in the event that the animal gets lost while outdoors.

A full list of sizing and customization options is available on the Zentek website.
