Dog Earmuffs for Hearing Protection 29dB NRR Ear Muffs Noise Protection (Medium, Blue)

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 will wear these and they seem comfortable on him however if worn for more than 30 minutes his ears get too hot. They are not soundproof, but they do seem to dampen the sounds. It worked well enough that I was able to get my scared pup away from loud sounds but not enough to allow for him to stay near the loud sounds.... It's truly only moderately effective. I would not recommend to very sound sensitive dogs.

My dog wore these for the fireworks on the 4th of July, which we were right under so they are very loud. She normally is trembling and super scared but these worked pretty well. I think they muffled the fireworks pretty well because she did not seem too bothered by them this year. Stella is about 45 lbs, a staffy mix and we got a size medium. I probably should have gotten a size up as they were very tight- even after adjusting them all the way. But a great purchase!

They work!! My 75 pound pitty baby is very afraid of thunder. We bought these headphones to help drown out the noise. As you can tell from the photo, they fit her perfectly. The headphones have an adjustable stretchy strap and are soft on the inside making it comfortable. Easy to clean and take on and off. We truly feel like they help to reduce the noise … I mean along with her anti anxiety meds but for sure a game changer.

they worked pretty good with the fireworks tonight that my neighbors were setting off but we were in the house... don't think they would work too well if we were actually outside... but they helped...

I bought two of these for my dogs ages 13 and 14 after last year's 4th of July caused so much trembling and trepidation with fireworks right outside our door and nearby. The dogs were plied with calming treats and we played loud tv and did everything we were told, but could not calm them down. I was afraid they would suffer a stroke or heart attack they were so worked up! Hoping these would make a difference this year, I waited until I saw the effect of their wearing the ear muffs for multiple nights of fireworks to write the review. At the first blast off of terrifying fireworks, we put on the ear muffs and with them on, my most anxious dog laid down and slept through them!!! Three nights in a row!! I could hear the blasts, and I was awake until they stopped, but she didn't budge even at the loudest one and slept soundly. However, I would not recommend leaving dogs alone with these on as my one dog flipped them off and got them around his neck while lying down. So, I made sure to slip them off after I knew all the fireworks had truly ended and then I went to sleep--pleased and relieved that the dogs didn't have to deal with that stress at their age at all. I couldn't believe they worked that well! I'm very happy with them and will recommend them to other dog owners who mention having the same issues with their pups.

Super cute on my pup but definitely not (entirely) noise canceling but I don’t think they claim to be. For the price I was little disappointed to see just a semi thick layer of foam (similar to the material used in an egg crate mattress topper) resting inside the ear muff made out of hollow plastic. So I took some poly-fil stuffing and placed it inside behind the foam to help. My dog is terrified of Fireworks so I needed to make sure the sound was low enough not to scare her. I’ve tried meds and CBD but I didn’t find much relief so this was a last ditch effort. While I don’t think the ear muffs were effective on their own, I do think in combination with keeping the TV volume up super high and AC running, they helped immensely. She even finally laid down with them on. If you have a dog that will let you put these on them, I’d say they’re helpful. I think they would help for lower noises that scare them but fireworks are super loud so I needed a lot of help. I will say, out of the last 4 years she’s been terrified of fireworks, this year seemed to be much smoother so they definitely helped!

El tamaño es perfecto para perros pequeños, incluso le quedan a los gatos

Love these products and they fit my two pups well. Design is useful for the shape of my pups heads. Can’t speak to whether ear protection will suffice for thunderstorms or gun ranges, just yet.So far, so good I’m very pleased with my purchase!

These work awesome! I had to play with the straps a bit to get the right fit, but my dog was super patient about it. I tried them on and off a dozen times, giving high praise and treats when he left them on for a few seconds, then a few minutes, and eventually during the whole concert.

Tengo una perrita Chihuahua y se los compré porque le tiene miedo a la pirotecnia pero se los quitó todas las veces que se los puse.

Si ayuda a reducir los ruidos de fuegos artificiales lejanos, pero no los del vecino de al lado. Aún así lo recomiendo, de eso a nada, supongo ayuda un poco
