"I was skeptical about this bandana, but it works great and stays cool for a long time! We took it with us on a recent trip and even without having access to a fridge, it stayed cool just by being wet. We noticed a difference in our dog just by having this on him."

— Dana

"Product arrived dried out, stiff and crumpled. Felt like cardboard. I ran it under cold water to loosen it up and the fabric was so stuck together that when I tried pulling it apart, the fabric tore off in places. I called Chewy right away and they said they would issue a refund."

Bottom Line

While effective, buyers should be cautious about the initial quality of the product, regarding any manufacturing defects. The effects of the product are significantly positive.
