In a Nutshell

  • Good for small dogs and puppies.
  • Dreadful gel freezing packs fall out easily.
  • Great cooling packs are not practical inside the product.

Quick Verdict

The Cool Pup Insect Shield Dog Harness offers decent harnassing, but customers frequently note that the gel strips don’t stay ice cold for long and problems frequently appear in stitching, potentially because the harness is made of cheap material.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Precise Size (2)

    The harness is small and prizes more an accuracy with different pack inputs versus strong materials and durability.

  • Cooling Feature (3)

    It good as harness.

  • Pest Control (3)

    Helps to protect against pests and also helps with cooling.

Cons

  • Gel Pack Issue (5) major

    The rubber slowly tears apart after a few moments during testing which destroys the product. Chief design flaw is that the gel packs expire within 5 minutes and outside temperatures are consistently well below or above the freezing point.

    Tip: Stay well above freezing.

  • Size Issues (1) major

    The harness sizes run small and do not fit larger dogs.

  • Durability Issues (2) major

    The harness started to fray after minimal use, and additional durability in the stitching of surrounding areas would be a considerable improvement.
