For the Nights That Go Bang

Bonfire Night, New Year's Eve, the storm that rolls in at 2am.

The hood covers both ears and takes the edge off the noise, so the loud nights arrive a little quieter.

  2. ThunderStorms that arrive at night.
  3. GroomingThe dryer and the clippers.

Softer bangs, and your voice still gets through.

Snug Like Being Held

The hood wraps the head closely and fastens under the chin.

That even pressure settles a lot of dogs on its own, on top of muffling the sound.

Into the Water, Too

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it block out fireworks completely?

No, and you would not want it to. It muffles the noise so the bangs land softer, while your dog can still hear you. Pair it with a quiet room, the curtains drawn and the telly on, and for a dog with a severe noise phobia, talk to your vet as well.

What size should I get?

Wrap a string around the head, from the top of the head down to under the chin and across the ears, then measure it against a ruler. S fits 25 to 38cm, roughly 7.5 to 17.5kg. M fits 35 to 48cm, roughly 17.5 to 30kg. L fits 45 to 60cm, roughly 30 to 42.5kg. XL takes 57cm and up, for the giant breeds. Go by the head measurement rather than the weight, since head shapes vary a lot between breeds. Where two sizes overlap, the smaller one muffles more.

My dog hates things on its head. Will it work?

Introduce it well before you need it. Put it on for a minute on a calm day with a treat, take it off, and build up from there. A dog who already knows the hood will accept it far more easily than one meeting it for the first time in the middle of a firework display.

Can my dog swim in it?

Yes. The shell is waterproof, so it helps keep water out of the ears, which is useful for dogs that pick up ear trouble after swimming. Fit it snugly so it stays put in the water, and always stay with your dog while they swim.

Will it arrive in time for Bonfire Night?

Honestly, no. UK orders take 4 to 7 working days, so anything ordered now lands after the 5th. We would rather say that than take the order and disappoint you. It is still worth having. New Year's Eve is the other big one, and thunderstorms, the groomer's dryer and the vacuum happen all year round. Ordering now also means your dog has weeks to get used to wearing it, which makes a real difference on the night.

The ear muffs are too small for my 7.5 kg Schnauzer; the rubber between the ear muffs is very tight, more suitable for a Chihuahua or a tiny Yorkie.

It is clearly the same as in the pictures. Made of very fine fabric (lycra), with velcro at the bottom. In the part of the ear cups, it's like the cups of a sports bra, a bit firmer.
I chose size M based on the seller's measurements and the comments of other buyers. My dog weighs 26kg and it's a little tight for her. I specifically ordered it because of the fireworks, since in Valencia, with the theme of the fiestas, it's a nightmare for her. I hope it works.
As soon as I put it on... he fell down, I don't know if it's because he feels strange with this on his head or because it relaxes him (I'll keep an eye on it these days, since the holidays are starting). It's a bit tedious to put on since my dog has big ears (a mix of a mastiff and an English setter). I hope it doesn't shake and come off.
There was no communication with the seller and it arrived a week later than expected.

I specifically waited to try it out; it's a great product. I bought it to walk my dogs in the rain. It's completely waterproof. And a very nice feature is that it reduces noise. My dogs were very afraid of outside sounds. Since I started using these, they walk more comfortably.❤️❤️❤️❤️

Size S fits well and seems to serve its purpose. It helps with the noise from fireworks and firecrackers.

It's not as nice as in the photo, I bought size M but I believe a smaller size would be better for a Shih Tzu.

The Full Details

A snug hood that covers your dog's ears and softens loud noise, for fireworks, thunderstorms and the groomer's dryer. It fastens under the chin, and the waterproof shell helps keep water out of the ears when swimming. Grey, in four sizes from S to XL.

Specifications and full description

A snug hood that covers your dog's ears and takes the edge off loud noise. Made for the nights that wreck a nervous dog's evening: fireworks, thunderstorms, a party next door, or the hairdryer at the groomer's.

How it helps

The hood wraps the head and sits over both ears, with a padded section on each side. It muffles sound rather than blocking it, so your dog can still hear you, but the bangs and booms arrive softer. The gentle, even pressure of a close-fitting wrap also settles a lot of dogs on its own, the same idea as being held.

For a dog with a severe noise phobia, use it alongside a quiet room, drawn curtains and advice from your vet rather than instead of them.

How it goes on

Slide it over the head so the ear sections sit over the ears, then fasten the strap under the chin until it is snug enough to stay put but loose enough to fit two fingers underneath. Put it on for a few minutes on a calm day first, with a treat, so it is familiar long before the first firework goes off.

In the water, too

The shell is waterproof, so the same hood helps keep water out of the ears when your dog swims, which matters for dogs prone to ear trouble after a dip. Always stay with your dog while they swim in it.

Sizing

Wrap a string around the head, from the top of the head to under the chin and across the ears, then measure it against a ruler. Choose the size whose range your dog falls into; the weight is a rough guide only.

Size Head circumference Typical weight
S 25 to 38 cm 7.5 to 17.5 kg
M 35 to 48 cm 17.5 to 30 kg
L 45 to 60 cm 30 to 42.5 kg
XL 57 cm and over 42.5 kg and over

Delivery

Delivery is free on every order. UK orders arrive in 4 to 7 working days and US orders in 7 to 10 working days, with Canada, Australia and New Zealand usually in line with the US.

Ordering now will not reach you before the 5th of November. New Year's Eve is the other big night for fireworks, and thunderstorms, the groomer and the vacuum carry on all year, so there is plenty of use in it either way. The extra weeks also give your dog time to get used to wearing it, which matters more than most people expect.
