Papaya bandana

Soaked it for a minute before our last trail run and it stayed noticeably cooler around her neck for the whole first mile. She didn't try to shake it off once, which is basically a miracle. The color matched our summit photo perfectly too.

Soaked it in the creek before our summit push and my pup’s panting slowed noticeably within ten minutes. The knot stayed secure even when he shook off after a swim, which is more than I can say for his usual collar.

My dog actually kept his bandana on for the whole three-mile loop, and it was still damp when we got back to the car. The soak-and-tie method is dead simple, and he seemed way less droopy at the summit than usual.
