Summer is the time for hot dogs. And we mean of the canine variety, of course. Yeah, frankfurters are delicious at BBQs, baseball games, and the occasional quick meal, but we’re not talking about meat here. We’re talking about our four-legged companions. Man’s best friend. The dog.

Any pet owner (as long as they don’t own a camel or scorpion) knows that pets and extreme heat don’t mix very well. While dogs might love laying out in the sun and catching rays just as much as we do, you can tell from their panicked panting that the heat is just too much for them to bare at times. The Pant Master 2000 keeps your doggy cool in the dog days of August. And oh yes, that pun was certainly intended. This is one of the coolest gadgets, literally.

While canines might have some sort of internal stress calculator which measures their limits, they certainly don’t have the mental capacity of (most of us) humans. So of course, they are more susceptible to overheat if they can’t tell just how much stress they’re putting on thei bodies. The Pant Master 2000 is a cooling vest which keeps even the most active pooch chilled in the summer sun.

Its light, tough, and waterproof material allows the Pant Master 2000 to be non hazardous to the dog’s body as well as accumulation of no stinky doggy smells. Available in blue or orange, depending on your pup’s preference. You can grab your own for between $50 and $62 from SkyMall.
