Spray it with the hose! Works great!
This vest has made a great difference for my boys! I have two Siberian huskies (size L). One is a plush coat and he especially struggles in the heat of NE Tennessee where we live. This summer, the temps have been consistently in the 80s and 90s with a humidity of at least 50% on most days. Both of my boys were getting worn out on their daily walks after about 20 minutes, dragging their feet towards the end. Before this vest, I was getting by with dousing them in cold hose water to keep them cool, but they would dry so fast that I'd end up hosing them every time we passed the house, so every 4 minutes or so, something like five times a walk. This vest takes that concept and improves it, allowing more comfort for the dog (as you are wetting the vest, not the fur), and lasting much longer.In my personal experience, I've achieved best results when pouring water directly on the vest while already outside. I've tried soaking the whole thing in the sink before and then wringing it out before putting it on my dog, but this results in the vest drying out fairly quickly, water dripping all over the house, and discomfort for the dog, as the inside of the vest gets wet. Instead, I prefer to put the vest on my dogs while it is still dry, take them outside, and then spray the outside of the vest with the hose without wringing. The vest will be soaking wet on the outside, but the dogs do not really mind this, as it is only permeable one-way. In other words, the lining of the vest is waterproof, so their fur doesn't get wet underneath, unless you miss with the hose! Because the absorbent material on the outside of the vest holds more water when you don't wring it, the cooling/drying process happens more slowly, keeping your dog cooler for longer.I have seen some people say that the vest works for up to two hours before needing to be "recharged," depending on your region/weather. I do not know what region or temperature that is in, but mine seems to dry faster than this, so keep in mind that YMMV depending on where you live. My dogs are very fluffy and are never outside long enough for me to test just how long this vest actually lasts on a single charge, but I do know it makes a difference and could probably last at least an hour, MAYBE two, in my conditions when fully wet. I prefer to rewet mine when I can, to keep the dogs extra cool.I've noticed that my boys show more energy and excitement when wearing this. They don't pant as hard or drag their feet like they did before the vest. As I said, this can last a good long while, but for good measure, I personally like to rewet the vest every 15-30 minutes, even though it's still cool and wet. Again, YMMV, but I like it!

We really enjoy this product and it really works. It may seem counter intuitive, but it's been great for us. My ONLY issue is that this has led to uncomfortable conversations and people can be abrasive seeing a dog wearing a vest in the heat. Wish it were more clearly marked as a cooling vest, though this is hardly a manufacturer problem. Fits my dog well and she has been rough with it. Has washed and held up well. It has made the southern heat much more tolerable for her. Please note that this vest takes the edge from the heat and does NOT necessarily make it safe for them to take long hikes etc. (nor does it claim to).
My dog is a 56 lb mutt with a deeper chest for her size. Medium fits well and side straps adjust easily. Even though she looks like a lab, she is not built like one. Please do not use her as a reference for sizing - it is best to use the sizing guidelines the manufacturer offers.

it looks of superior quality - not cheaply manufactured with poor cut stitching ...
