Typically, cooling vests can last for a long time if you give them the care and attention needed. The good news is that they don’t require too much maintenance. One of the issues dog parents face is whether they should wash these vests or not.
The following care regimen should be followed if you want to make sure that the vest you purchase will last for a long time. Dry it after each use, but don’t use a dryer for it. When it gets dirty, it is a good idea to wash it by hand with a bit of mild soap and plenty of warm water.
You should never use bleach and don’t rinse it in saltwater, in case you are on vacation, and that might appear like a good idea to you. Also, before storing it away, make sure that it is completely dry so that it doesn’t allow the growth of mold and mildew.
