These collars are soaked briefly in water and the polymer crystals inside turn into a gel and expand. The gel helps your pet stay cool. They have been very popular with pets and their owners.

Your dog needs to be not just stylish, but comfortable, too! Since dogs can't sweat, the heat can really get to them. But not if their Mom or Dad buys them a Too Cool collar! The center section is filled with non-toxic polymer crystals. These little crystals are pretty amazing. Once soaked in water for about 5 to 10 minutes they expand and turn into a gel that keeps cool for hours. The 100% cotton cover will soon dry, but the gel stays hydrated and COOL for several days. After 4 or 5 days (if you don't re-wet) the gel actually returns to hard crystals again. You can use again and again. You can hand wash with a mild detergent and then air dry.

What makes our product different? Most other cooling ties have just one section of crystals to cool your dog down and when they expand, the collar gets pretty fat. With a Too Cool you get 2 channels of cooling. This allows a Too Cool to lie flat and for your dog, it means a better fitting Too Cool collar. If you'd prefer, we can do the smaller sizes with a single seam or the larger ones with 4 channels. The extra wide version was tested by Lottie of Hurricane Bulldogs. The plastic clasp allows you to adjust the fabric length for a custom fit. Shipping weight is 4 ounces.

How do these Calming Collars work?
They use aromatherapy. The scent of the combination of different herbs we use has been tested for effectiveness on both dogs and cats. We use only dried herbs -- no essential oils or other fillers.

How do I know what size to order?
We go by a neck measurement. You can either measure your pet's neck or a collar that fits them comfortably. If in between sizes, it is best to order the bigger size. That will allow for more herbs to be used in the collar. You can always tell us the exact neck size in the special instructions box -- and we will tailor for a near perfect fit!

How do I know what width to order?
Most do fine with the regular 2 channel.  

What if my dog eats his collar?
Although not recommended, the herbs are not harmful if ingested. Neither are the crystals in the Too Cool Cooling Collar.

How long will the herbs last?
That depends on how much they are exposed to the air and dry out. In most cases, if worn 24/7, the herbs will last 3 to 4 months. If only used for a few hours a day or less, you may get closer to a year or so Just keep in a plastic bag in a dark place when not in use -- like your kitchen herbs. Regular customers that just use them for storms seem to buy a new one each season. You can roll a collar in your hands and crush the herbs to help refresh them and release more of their natural oils.

Will a Calming Collar work for my pet?
Odds are it will help. We have a better than 95% success rate. But they won’t help every animal with every situation

Can my dog or cat wear a Calm Me Down collar 24/7?
Yes, many of our customers do just that. You should just have a more mellow version of your dog or cat.

Will these really work on cats, too?
Yes, they will. The challenge is getting a cat that is not used to a collar to wear something around his or her neck! If your cat is okay with it, they will be a more mellow kitty.
