Testimonial:
Retrievers, like humans, perform much better when their
core body temperatures are normal – not too hot and not
too cold. Once a dog’s core temperature begins dropping,
his concentration goes with it. If it goes too low, his
cognitive functions begin to fail. A neoprene vest is no
different to your dog than your waders are to you because
it helps him retain body heat which dries his coat faster
after each retrieve. Contrary to popular belief, retrievers
are not bullet-proof so please take the time to zip em' up!

Canine Hypothermia can be deadly so know the symptoms and be
prepared to administer treatment.
Symptoms: Mild symptoms include violent, uncontrolled
shivering, followed by lethargy and shallow breathing. Severe stages
include 97 F rectal temperature, or lower and severe lack of coordination
followed by collapse and or coma.
Treatment Afield: Dry the dog completely, and thoroughly. Wrap him
in jackets, or coats, use whatever you can use to raise your dogs body
temperature. Once you have gotten your dog out of the elements...use a
hair dryer, heating pads, or a warm bath. Seek veterinary care as soon as
rectal temperature is above 101.5 F.
