MAXIMIZE YOUR DOG'S HEALTH AND COMFORT
Light Therapy for Dogs
Coolvio® Patented Fabric Emits Healthy Red and Near-Infrared Light. This is the same light used by veterinarians in laser therapy on dogs to reduce pain and inflammation, speed wound healing, increase energy and performance, reduce anxiety, and boost optimal health.

Year-Round Comfort
The new technology in bArctic fabric creates a microclimate that warms in cool temps, acts as a cooling shirt in the hot sun, reduces risk of overheating, and provides UV protection.This allows your dog to comfortably spend more time outside year-round, soaking up healthy rays of sunlight known to be essential for optimal health.
Works When Dry As A Cooling Shirt In The Hot Sun - Up to +30°F Cooler
After one hour outside in the sun, our bArctic Light Therapy Dog Shirt kept Audrey's fur +30°F degrees cooler than in direct sunlight without using any water. A moment after removing her bArctic, Audrey’s fur heated up over 30 degrees. The bArctic creates a micro-climate to help keep your dog comfortable.

Dr. Colleen Smith, DVM, CVA, CVCP and founder of Chattanooga Holistic Veterinary Institute and President to the board for the AHVMA (American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association) and Courtney Holscher, DVM share their thoughts about the bArctic Light Therapy + Cooling Dog Shirt.

Dr. Holscher says her agility dog, Ella, trains outside in the heat in her bArctic and “it really helps keep her cool, and improves her times, helps her to not get overheated and not as tired as quickly.”

Light Therapy
The bArctic Light Therapy Dog Shirt converts sunlight into healthy, red and near-infrared (NIR) light through the science of laser physics and optics. The fabric then emits these healthy wavelengths of light -- the same light that veterinarians use in laser treatments for dogs to reduce joint and muscle pain and inflammation. Research studies have shown these wavelengths of light provide an energy boost to the cells, which improves cellular functionality and the result is a wide range of health benefits.
Works When Dry
By converting sunlight and emitting healthy, red and near-infrared light, the energy of the sun is released from our Coolvio® fabric — instead of being trapped. The build up of the sun’s energy is what creates heat in other fabric — and dog fur! No longer does your dog have to endure the discomfort of being wet all day to stay cool. Our Coolvio™ fabric doesn‘t require water like other dog cooling shirts that rely solely on water evaporation. So this cooling shade effect lasts all day long, without the weight or hassle of water!
Works When Wet
Coolvio® fabric technology still works if the bArctic gets wet and stays lightweight, stretchy and maintains fit. For an additional pop of coolness, your pup can also enjoy the natural cooling effect of evaporation with only a few ounces of water — so your dog doesn’t have to be soaking wet and can stay comfortable!
Sun Protection
The bArctic provides protection for your dog from sunburn by recycling 98% of UVA and UVB light into healthy, cooler red and near-infrared light — unlike other sun protection products on the market that block out the light your dog needs to stay healthy.
