Dog Earmuffs for Hearing Protection 29dB NRR Ear Muffs Noise Protection (Large, Pink)

The media could not be loaded. I have a 7-month-old Mini Australian Shepherd, and he is currently in the midst of his second puppy phase fear period. Yay...Poor guy is petrified of traffic in Midtown Manhattan right now. He is completely freaked out. Even getting him out the front door of our building is a nightmare (for him) in itself. If there is a truck outside, forget about it, as he was spooked by two trucks lowering their back metal ramp violently down on the asphalt three weeks ago right outside our building's front door. (I need to point out that he usually is fine with the traffic and noises outside of his fear periods.)He normally goes to my husband's office twice a week on 5th Avenue and is jolly and happy the entire way walking there. This week I had to take the bus with him because he refuses to leave our block. Getting off at 5th Ave, he freaked out as there was a really loud demonstration on the corner, with hundreds of people, with multiple shouting into bullhorns and stomping their feet. He jumped into my arms, shaking. Poor little man.I decided to bring the noise-canceling headphones when I picked him up later in the day, to see if they would help him out a bit.I have been introducing him to the headphones for a few days, teaching him that when he boops them, he gets a treat. Then I started handing him treats between them. But he did not let me put them on, yet.He loves socializing at the office, and thankfully indoors, he is completely fear-free and playful, and he had a great and relaxing day there.But as we came outside, he backed up really hard with real fear in his eyes, trying to get back into the building. I thought, "Ok, I'm just going to put them on - no matter what." Wow. The immediate look on his face when they covered his ears was like the videos you see of kids hearing for the first time as their hearing aids are turned on. Total amazement and peace. He never once tried to take them off and walked the ENTIRE way home (a 20-minute walk) with NO fear. He didn't even notice big, loud trucks passing, nor a dog barking right in his ear behind him. I instantly said to my husband: "I am writing a review for these things! And thanking whoever made them." The picture of him in the bag was taken 2 minutes after they were put on his ears. Total relaxation.They are a life-changer for my pup! Even going to Starbucks for pup cups is no longer a scary experience during this fear period. They blast the music so loud in their locations and throw metal trays really hard into the sinks. Even I get stressed by it. He always wants to go in - he actually drags me there. Haha! But he's been really sketchy lately, pulling hard to get out when the trays hit the sink. Yet, he wants to stay because of the treat. I put them on him the other day when we came in, and he was totally relaxed and happy, as you see from the video.During his fear period, he's even skeptical of people and kids, which he normally LOVES. It turns out it's the loud traffic and city noises that make him skeptical of people, as when he wears the noise-canceling headphones, he's fine being pet by strangers.To any of you with pups that are afraid of loud noises, please give these a try for your pups' sake. My little one is 20 lbs and 17.5" tall (floor to shoulders) and wears a Medium size - if that can help you gauge the size for headphones.Please make sure you tuck in the ears, and that the chin strap isn't too tight. I adjusted the straps as well as I could on my dog and put a couple of stitches on them to prevent the straps from re-adjusting while he's wearing them.Note to the manufacturer: The headphones slide a little off when long-haired dogs shake their heads. Maybe consider putting some anti-slip grip tape/foam on the underside of straps. Also, maybe find a way to attach handles/small loops to the outside of cups, to make it easier to re-seat them on dogs with long fur, so you don't pull the hair on their ears.

My dog has severe storm anxiety and normally have to give her medication to calm her down but with these head phones she has not been shaking or panicking in fear!! She rests and sleeps! So grateful that I don’t have to medicate her!! She leaves them on and doesn’t fuss at all with them!

The ear muff saved our energy with our Chihuahua mix dog with a heart issue. The size is small and it fits her head and ears perfectly. Our baby is sooo calm and sleeps like a baby during stormy nights! We keep these on her all night. Before that, during storm, we would be sitting on the bathroom floor to reassure our dog for HOURS. Our dog freaks out, panting, pacing, and her heart pounding hard. It’s so stressful for us to be dealing with her being scared, stressing out, and it affects her heart. We used to give her trazodone medication. We hated it. This thing solved our energy and we all can relax at night.

Fits ok on my dog ears, the material looks good and comfy for my dog's ear but it doesn't seem to work.

My little girl is extremely sensitive to loud noises, and events like thunderstorms, fireworks, or nearby gunfire have always been incredibly distressing for her—and for us. We’ve tried numerous remedies, including her prescribed Trazodone, calming essential oils, and white noise machines, but unfortunately, none have provided any sort of relief. These earmuffs, however, have been a game-changer. They are the only solution that has noticeably helped reduce her anxiety during loud events.If you have a pet that struggles with noise sensitivity, I highly recommend giving these a try!

Purchased these for my service dog, as such he goes everywhere that I go. I'm training him to get used to wearing them in environments when it get loud to say the least.They fit his head size and shape really well, seem to be comfortable on him, when in loud environments, like Kareoke nights, he doesn't fight me to put them on him and he is way more relaxed while wearing them as opposed to not wearing ear protectors. Which indicates to me that the noise reduction level is sufficient to bring comfort for his sensitive hearing.The quality seems good. The elastic straps have enough give in them to enable not having to keep adjusting while applying, while at the same time are is firm enough to keep the ear protectors in place.I am confident in the knowledge that my service dog is more relaxed and chilled out while wearing these ear protectors that they are worth every penny.Training him to wear them was a different matter, 😏, but with lots of treats placed inside the ear protectors like dishes, he took to eating the trears no problem, from that stage I went to holding treats between my finger and thumb while my hand was wearing the ear protectors. From there I started encouraging him to put his nose inside the elastic straps and cups to reach for treats. The first few times he actually was wearing his ear projectors they were only in place for a couple of minutes. Gradually over a few days, the time wearing was increased, many many treats were eaten and now he comfortably sit through Kareoke nights wearing his ear protectors without and objections.I'm am considering buying a second pair to keep in the car, just in case we make an impromptu stop at a nosey or forget to take them with us when we head out.
