Money is tight so I want to make sure this isn't a gimick of sorts:

My dogs are going to be doing agility this summer. Not until around 6pm, so they won't have the hottest part of the day, but it could still be around 80F.
I ordered cooling mats for them and was thinking about the cooling vests too I read from someone else asking on here.
Do these really work or just make a dog hotter to have a coat on? Thank you.
Answer
Yes, the Cooling Coats do work. I know a lot of people that use the Clean Run coats & they like them. Some use them dry, but most use them wet & re-wet them as needed. You can put them on a dry dog or a wet dog too.
I made Cooling Coats for my whole crew patterned after ones I saw & really liked, but were too expensive to buy. Mine are made out of synthetic chamois material. I found the chamois material at Checker Auto & at WalMart (in Auto Supply). I just cut the material with pinking shears, it doesn't ravel & then sewed velcro closures at the chest & under the belly. I put some ribbon trim on & they look great! Not too hard & not too expensive. They are like these coats here.

I think these ones keep the dogs even cooler than the white mesh kind. I wet them & put them in a ziplock bag & bury them down in my cooler in the ice. Put them on the dogs after they warm up before a run, take them off to run & then put them back on right after. Then I re-wet them as needed with the hose or I dip them into the cold ice water in my cooler. I have put them on my dry dogs & after the dogs are wet down with the hose too. They work well either way! And they wash well in the washer.
Hosing my dogs down, at the very least their belly & inner thighs & chest & pads, really helps to keep the dogs cool. If I know there isn't a hose at a trial site. I take a water sprayer. The garden pressure sprayers (have a pump, used for spraying insecticides) work very well. You can find the 1 gallon ones at the dollar stores in season. Crate fans help immensely too. WalMart has bigger battery powered fans that work well.
Good Luck! And Have Fun!

Pest control
Diatomite is also used as an insecticide, due to its physico-sorptive properties. The fine powder absorbs lipids from the waxy outer layer of insects' exoskeletons, causing them to dehydrate. Arthropods die as a result of the water pressure deficiency, based on Fick's law of diffusion
There are more frequent reports of success in controlling bedbugs by the use of diatomaceous earth as an environment friendly barrier to which the bedbugs cannot develop a resistance. The diatomaceous earth abrades the waxy cuticle that covers an insect's exosekeleton, causing them to die of dehydration[citation needed]. Bedbugs exposed to diatomaceous earth typically die within two days of contact.
The first bit is from diatomaceous earth, and the second is from Bed Bug both from wikipedia.
It's night here so I'm going to assume just for some where to start it is the same where you are. First strip all linens and bed clothes, and wash and dry, the wash will kill all bugs and drying will kill all eggs, mix some dish soap in a squirt bottle with vegetable oil and fill with water and shake, I'm assuming you can't get to a garden store like Lowe's and even they may not have it in stock yet. I'ts usually used in gardens for insects, but you can read the Bed Bug source below and vacuum the bed then spray the bed with a fine mist, it will kill in any bugs until it drys so get it as damp as you can stand it, because the solution only is a contact spray, when you get to a garden store and get some diatomaceous earth, then you can really get something accomplished, mix the diatomaceous earth in with the spray mix and spray everything pillow and all, keep repeating the processes, but diatomaceous earth needs to be left even where you sleep, It is so safe they feed it to lifestock for their well being, and has been used in Humans as a dewormer, all forulations sold in the USA have the level of silica so low as not to be of any danger to human health. Keep a bit of humor to keep you brave with diatomaceous earth you have diatomaceous earth which like the energizer bunny just keeps on killing. If you could eventually get some of the encasements for your mattress and pillows which are air tight they eventually build the level of co2 to levels that will kill even the eggs. Although I mostly would just persist with the diatomaceous earth, and cleaning with the washer and dryer. Good Luck it's hard for professionals, BedBugs were thought to have been eradicated, with DDT, now they just ignore the stuff and almost any another poisons.
