MADE FOR GROOMERS, BY GROOMERS. Happy Hoodie was created as a grooming tool to CALM & protect dogs from the loud noise & high-pressured air associated w/ force drying. Happy Hoodie saves valuable time in the Grooming Salon & creates a safer environment by calming upset, disagreeable, aggressive, or sensitive dogs during any potentially stressful situation, such as toenail clipping, clipper work, brushing, bathing, etc. The dog anxiety calming aid you want to have in your dog grooming tool kit.
HOW TO REDUCE NOISE. It is important to place the ears DOWN over the ear canals so the ear canals are NOT exposed, then secure them in place w/ Happy Hoodie. Noise reduction is achieved by Happy Hoodie’s gentle compression closing off the ear canal. IF YOU THINK IT’S TOO TIGHT, PLEASE KNOW SNUGNESS IS NECESSARY. IF YOUR 4 FINGERS FIT UNDER IT, IT’S NOT TOO TIGHT (IT’S SO STRETCHY!). Pets appreciate it most when used ONLY during a stressful situation. PLEASE REFER TO SIZE GUIDE BEFORE PURCHASE.
HELPS KEEP PETS CALM AND COMFORTABLE AT HOME TOO!

Perfect! For my Aussie
Great for my Aussie! He absolutely hates the blow dryer and tries to bite it the whole time. It improves his ability to handle the blow dryer. He only tries to bite it if itâs hitting near his face. But we got him a large and heâs about 49 pounds. It stays on well and I donât have any problems with slipping. Itâs nice and thick and soft. And I think a good price for the quality

Not bad, but be careful!
My dog has chronic ear infections, and has had 2 hematomas, one on each ear.He is a semi-large pit-dane (70-80 lbs).He was an ear flapper before hematomas, and remains one after. So, in order for him to not blow out his ears I got this to help hold them down.So a couple of things to note:1) They will still flap, and some MIGHT try and paw at it, so pay attention to your pet. Flapping with this one, nothing will move if they don’t paw at it incessantly. Its decently tight, and offers ear support.2) It is soft and stretchy, so easy to get around most dog heads, its almost like a head-sock in that way.3) Most important one to me: If your dog CURRENTLY has an ear infection, or has had surgery… you WILL need to CLEAN REGULARLY. This device will not dry the inside of your dog’s ears, so covering it up will keep it icky if left with moisture.If its gunky-infection it may be difficult to use this. It will get crusted up easily and youll have to wash it. If you leave it in too long the crush will make it stick to their fur and make it gross as well as uncomfortable to remove later.I would recommend some supervised Air-Dry time several times a day, or a cone instead if its a recent surgery or gunky ear infection.Now, if your dog does NOT get ear infections, and just is a flapper/ear scratcher this would probably work very well without much worry. Just clean ears regularly, wash this when it gets covered in hair or dander to prevent likelihood of creating an infection using it.I wouldnt say they are noise cancelling, though maybe noise dampening. Some dogs might find relief from it, some might find discomfort. Depends on the dog.I can see the use from this product, but it did not work for my purposes unfortunately. No fault of the product I feel, It just did not fit my needs. Just think about it a minute, and be willing to take a loss if its not for your dog.

This product saved my dog’s life!
This will be long, but may help someone in a similar position.This product has single handedly saved my dogs life and my entire family’s sanity. We inherited my grandfather’s Yorkie in 2019, who is now about 17 years old with dementia and losing his hearing, sight, and mind. He has always had separation anxiety. First with my grandfather, now my dad. If he is not with my dad, he barks. Non-stop. At anything, anyone, at all times. He’s always done this, but it has gotten worse in the last few years. We have tried everything; medication. cbd, calming treats, collars, lick mats, taking him on walks. It has gotten so bad my dad has been considering putting him down, which none of us want to do as he is healthy, but the barking is insufferable and affecting the mental health of everyone in the house. It brings my mom to tears and she no longer enjoys being home.As a last ditch effort to save him from meeting the end, I purchased the happy hoodie. I can’t even begin to describe how this tiny piece of cloth can instantly stop a barking fit and calm him down. I don’t know if it’s because he feels strange in it, he pressure is easing his anxiety, or the muffling of sounds (he can hear, but not well) has made him less stressed, but my family and my dog has had the most peaceful week in years. He looks absolutely silly in it, but it has been a miracle for us. Now our little old man can stay with us for as long as he is able to and we can finally relax in our home. Thank you happy hoodie for saving my dog!!!

Does not stay on long
I really like the quality and color of this product. Fit is also pretty accurate Unfortunately, it does not stay on either of my dogs for long. These slip on snuhgly but pretty easily and do not seem to bother either dog initially but, after a few minutes, they shake their heads a couple of times and it slides down behind their ears to their necks. I am hoping it is a training issue that I can resolve.I cannot speak to the calming effect as they don’t stay on long enough to tell. Price is good for quality of materials.

I bought it because I saw that Girl with the Dogs (on YouTube) uses it. It is high quality, and soothes the pet. Looks nice, does its job, definitely worth it. Additionally, it’s a good way to calm down your pet during the New Year / Independence Day firework period.

Great tool to use to desensitize your dog to loud noises
We used this on our rescue to help her with blow drying after a bath and it worked wonders. We can now blow dry her without having to use it so it has been a lifesaver! We will use it during fireworks as well now that we live in the city.

Works Great for Drying Our Golden
Our Golden Retriever hates blow dryers or vacuums (like at the car wash). We put this on her, and it immediately worked. She stays still and even sits now to be blow dried, which happens a lot since she likes to swim year-round. She’s around 67 pounds, and the large fits snug without being too tight and comforts her when it’s on and the dryer is going. Highly recommend.

Really helped my boy with fireworks and thunderstorms. Itâs stretchy, but the fabric is nice and comfy. He looks funny but so cute with it on. Iâd def buy again when I need too.
Pin Head –
My dog is my shadow that goes anywhere and everywhere with me. Now she can be outside of the truck whenever I get firewood and use the wood splitter. Not only is this hearing protection but also keeps the head warm during winter. Since I was always concerned whenever it got below -10C and lower. Because it never matters the weather her head is gonna be out the passenger window. I Definitely recommend this product. Bonus points for the colour

Ayudó mucho a mi perra con el sonido de los cohetes.

Si funciona, las primeras veces mi perro intentaba quitársela pero ahora que sabe que con eso escucha menos ruido, la soporta.
