Frequently Asked Questions

How do cooling bandanas work?
Most use evaporative cooling — you soak them in water, wring them out, and the evaporation pulls heat away from your dog's neck. Some have pockets for ice packs.
How long do cooling bandanas last?
Typically 30 minutes to an hour in hot weather. Re-soak when they feel warm. The AFP Ice Bandana lasts longer thanks to its ice-pack pocket.
Are cooling bandanas safe for puppies?
Yes, as long as the bandana fits snugly without being too tight. Always supervise puppies to prevent chewing.
