これらの冷却バンダナは、山頂での自撮りに最適で、トレイルで愛犬を少し涼しく保つのに役立ちます。使用前に水に浸してから、犬の首に巻き付けると、体温を少し下げることができます。もちろん、飼い主の判断が重要です。十分な水を持参し、犬にとって暑すぎる場合は、お家でお留守番させてください。
プロのコツ：バンダナをしっかり固定するには、おばあちゃん結びではなく、角結び（スクエアノット）で結びましょう。
My pup’s been wearing this on our last three trail runs and it actually stays put, even when she’s bounding around. The soak-and-tie trick does seem to take the edge off the heat, and it makes for a cute summit photo bonus.
Soaked it for a minute before our hike and the bandana stayed cool for a couple of hours — made a real difference when my dog started panting on the switchbacks. She didn’t try to shake it off once, which surprised me given how picky she is about gear.
I was skeptical about whether a wet piece of fabric could actually help, but after a steep climb in 80-degree heat, my pup’s panting slowed noticeably within ten minutes of tying it on. Soaking it takes barely a second, and it stayed damp for a good two hours on the trail.
