The All For Paws Chill Out Dog Ice Bandana Set, available on Amazon for as little as £7.50 per bandana, has become a popular choice for pet owners looking to keep their dogs safe during the UK heatwave. The bandana is designed to cool down dogs quickly when soaked in water and fastened around the neck.
How the Cooling Bandana Works
To activate the bandana, simply soak it in water and wrap it around your dog's neck. The specialized material immediately begins to lower the dog's temperature. For extra cooling, the bandana can be placed in the fridge for 10 minutes before use. It is non-irritating, allowing for regular wear during hot spells.
Pricing and Sizes
The bundle includes two bandanas with different patterns (rainbow and flamingo prints). The medium size (38-46cm) costs £13.99 for the set, or £7.49 per bandana. The largest XL set is £16.99, equating to £8.49 each. Sizes fit multiple breeds, from medium to extra-large dogs.
Shopper Reviews
One reviewer noted, "Does exactly what they are meant to do, I have a 13 year old American Cocker and they cool her down very quickly during the heat." Another customer said, "He wasn't so keen on having it round his neck at first but is getting used to it. It does cool him down." A particularly enthusiastic review stated, "Through out this awful heat wave, my old fat pug has panted so bad all day that I worried his heart would give out. I'm so impressed with this cool collar. He's only worn it today but he's not panted or stressed at all. I think this collar may have saved his life."
Alternatives
For those preferring a simpler design, the plain blue Cooling Pet Bandana from Naylors costs £4. The Crufts Cooling Vest from Dunelm, priced between £7 and £15 depending on size, offers more body coverage.
Considerations
Some customers reported issues with packaging causing gel leakage, but the product itself was praised. One user mentioned the bandana froze in their fridge, but once thawed, it kept their dog cool.
