Proudly announcing the arrival of Kumfy Koatz Harnesses to the Big Hearts Fund’s online store!

It was just a few weeks ago that I first met Gail, inventor of Kumfy Koatz harnesses. Kumfy Koatz harnesses employ heating/cooling gel pack technology into a comfortable neoprene harness that keeps dogs warm in winter (if you microwave the non-toxic gel pack insert) and cool in summer (when you freeze the non-toxic gel pack insert). Kumfy Koatz harnesses interested me for one main reason: their obvious applicability to dogs with heart disease because of their ability to increase comfort and quality of life. As evidenced by the picture, Lucy loves hers! Notice: she is not panting, despite the fact that it is 94º in Chicago today.

Dogs with heart disease have a very difficult time regulating their core temperature, especially in hot weather. The Kumfy Koatz harness is a wonderful solution for these special needs animals. Cooling technology helps dogs avoid overheating and over stressing their cardiovascular system, which can in turn prevent fainting episodes and fatigue.

If you purchase Kumfy Koatz harnesses from BHF’s store, 50% of the price you pay goes to support our charity. Thus, you can help your dog with heart disease AND support other pets with heart disease, all in one fell swoop!
