We used to have trouble with bird dogs over heating down in south Texas. The hunting was done out of a truck so we carried gallon milk jugs in a cooler and covered it with ice. We would cool the dogs before we started then 5 minutes later, 10 minutes later, and finally 15 minutes later. The water was put on their ears and neck, on their belly and their back. Ears and neck are important because the blood is close to the surface at those points. I would make sure I had some cold water in a cooler on my 4 wheeler if I was hunting when it is hot.
I haven't tried them on a dog but the cool rags you can buy at Lowes works pretty good. Bought one the other day and all you have to do is wet it and it gets pretty cool. Might try that.
