Summary:
The “Happy Hoodie” is a calming band designed for dogs and cats, initially created for groomers to help reduce anxiety and protect pets from loud noises and high-pressure air during grooming. It is recommended for use during stressful situations such as toenail clipping, bathing, or grooming. The hoodie works by gently compressing the ear canal to reduce noise, providing comfort and calming effects for pets. It can also be used at home as an anti-anxiety aid, noise-canceling ear muffs, ear warmer, grooming aid, and post-surgery ear protection. Vets recommend it for preventing hematomas, controlling bleeding, aerating ears, and providing ear protection during activities like swimming or bath time. The Happy Hoodie has been a natural, homeopathic calming remedy since 2008 and can be used in conjunction with other calming products for enhanced effectiveness. Prioritize snugness for the best results, and refer to the size guide before purchasing.

Although my dog doesn’t enjoy this product, it does help keep her calm. It is particularly effective for small dogs. Additionally, it is easy to put on and remove from my small dog’s head.

I have used this product multiple times during storms to help calm my dog. It is very effective at soothing and relaxing her. The size is accurate and there is plenty of stretch, so they are not too tight if you get the correct size. I highly recommend using this with any anxious dog.

This product made bath time a breeze! Normally, my dog is scared of the blow dryer, but the Happy Hoodie worked like magic. It kept him calm and relaxed during his grooming session.

Our Rhodesian Ridgeback suffered a hard bite on his ear, resulting in a persistent open wound. To prevent further irritation from flapping his ears in the rain or outdoors, we decided to purchase this product. The wound would frequently reopen and bleed, prompting us to find a solution. The product proved effective in stopping him from aggravating the injury. We initially ordered an XL size, which fit well, but we may opt for a large size next time as the product tended to slip off his head…

Although my cat does not seem to like it, I am optimistic that he will eventually get used to wearing it, especially since he gets agitated by the noise from the lawn workers. When he wears it, the sleeve practically disappears against his fur, making it seem like he has no ears. My only wish is that the material could be a bit thicker.

I purchased the Happy hoodie along with two smaller ones for my cats after seeing it recommended on Girl With The Dogs YouTube channel. This product has significantly helped to alleviate my dog’s anxiety during fireworks. While my dog is not particularly challenging to groom, I appreciate that his ears are protected from the dryer when using this hoodie. The size of the hoodie fits well on my German Shepherd x Rottweiler mix, who has a large head. I highly recommend Happy hoodies for calming…

I found that this product met my expectations by effectively protecting my dog’s ears during a blow dry, preventing him from getting upset. It appears to be of good quality and is expected to be durable. However, I do feel that it is somewhat expensive for its functionality.

I purchased this product in an attempt to prevent one of my dogs from licking the other dog’s ear. Although it is not designed for this purpose, I found that it only stays on for a few minutes before my dog manages to remove it.

I purchased this product to assist in preventing my dog from scratching her ear hematoma while it heals, particularly when she didn’t have her cone on. The dog appeared quite amusing with it on, but it generally served its purpose. It’s not extremely snug, so it tended to slide down to her neck if she shook her head vigorously or tried to paw at it. However, she didn’t seem to be bothered by it too much otherwise. We had to readjust it over her ears multiple times and closely monitor her…

Helps a lot! It takes away the fear of the dryer’s sound and fireworks! I ordered another one for my other dog.

I was pleasantly surprised by the thickness of the cloth and the strength of the elastic on this product. Despite the affordable price, it is very well-made and durable. I purchased it for my friend’s spaniel, whose ears tend to get wet after walks. I followed the size chart and bought both medium and large sizes, but they were too tight for her. She tolerates wearing it but seems a bit uncomfortable until the 3/4 mile mark when it tends to slip down and press against her throat. It…

Instead of immediately putting this product on your pet upon arrival, consider placing it in their bed (unless they are prone to chewing). I personally wore it as an armband for an hour on the first two days before trying it on my dog. It’s worth noting that familiar scents can be comforting to pets.
When introducing it to my dog, I only had her wear it for a few minutes during a calm time, keeping the atmosphere positive and reassuring without making a big fuss. I made sure to help her…
