Happy Hoodie The Original Dog & Cat Calming Band, Anxiety Relief/Noise Protection-Grooming-Thunder-Fireworks (Small, Pink)

BUY THIS HOODIE!! I have tried all kinds of calming chews, thunder shirt, which helps, but this morning was the first storm that my dog actually calmed down and went to sleep! We adopted her when she was appx 3 years old, and she’s 10 now. They said she was found in a thunderstorm, so we assume that’s why she jumps when a fly goes by her ear. This hoodie was magic! She wasn’t barking all night keeping us awake! I cannot believe how quickly she adjusted to it. As soon as it started to thunder, I followed the instructions and only tried to take it off once. Amazing product and great material! She’s a red heeler mix and I ordered the L and it fit perfectly.

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.

Overall this was the best in it's class and we tried 3 others. We had a foster dog that was worse than any dog I've seen with storms, fireworks, etc. she became a four-legged wrecking ball, which only added to her misery. This worked as long as it stayed on. She was a 1yr old, so when she had it on, she was great; but when playing (running, jumping, rolling, pouncing) it would slip down her neck...so every 45min-hr, you were chasing her down to fix it. When she settled and at bedtime, worked like a champ! Material quality, thickness, color, sizing, all as described. She was right in the size range; just perhaps a little too active?

I use happy hoodies at my grooming shop for many many years now, and they work great to avoid blowing the dryer into their ears, and helps a bit with the dryer noise which can make them nervous. Seems to comfort most dogs. Good thick quality and stretch, and they wash well, as they get washed every day and last for years.

My dog got an aural hematoma, and I needed to keep his ears pinned to his head so he would stop shaking them and reopening the wound.Pros: This worked like a charm when I first used it. Tight enough to hold his ear in place, but not too tight that he seemed uncomfortable. Also, it seemed to calm him down, so it seems like it would be great for an anxious dog on even loud car ridesCons: We opened the hematoma while the hood was on, so it got dirty. We washed it just in the sink, and the elasticity seems to have disappeared. There may be a way to wash this without it happening, but it our case, it lost its effectiveness after washing

Great tool to use during grooming. Keeps the hot air from blowing inside their ears. Cuts down on the noise.

Does it's job, I'm a dog bather and it's the same quality if you buy from a professional website. I use this for my dogs training to muffle out noises

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!!!
