Happy Hoodie The Original Dog & Cat Calming Band - American Brand - Anxiety Relief/Noise Protection-Grooming-Thunder-Fireworks (XS, Purple) - Since 2008

My dog cant handle load noises. The dryer is the worest. It calms in down when the dryer goes on him. The size is true. I have a 100 pound aussie he has a big head the large worked perfect. Protected his ears wonderful. Great price. Durable not cheaply made. Easy to just pop in a Bag and off to the groomers.

I was skeptical at first, but the Happy Hoodie really surprised me. My dog gets super anxious during grooming and thunderstorms, and this simple little band made a big difference. As soon as I put it on, he instantly relaxed — no shaking or pacing like usual. It gently hugs his head and muffles the loud noises that usually freak him out. The material is soft, stretchy, and easy to wash, and it doesn’t bother her once it’s on. I also love that it keeps her ears dry when bathing and helps speed up drying time afterward. I bought the X-Large and it fits perfectly for my big boy without being too tight. It won’t be a miracle fix for every dog, but if your pet struggles with loud noises, grooming, or fireworks, it’s definitely worth trying. Simple idea, great results — I wish I’d found it sooner! 🐶💗

For the simple design and the degree of skepticism that we had when placing this on our dog, it absolutely exceeded all of our expectations. Our 65lb pitbull terrier is terrified of any loud noises (thunder, garbage truck banging outside, bangs from the tv, fireworks, etc.) and will immediately run back to the bedroom to hide until the noises subside. This was how we actually ended up adopting her when she was 6 months old. She apparently took off on July 4th from wherever she was and was found in a rural area by a rescue agency, hungry and scared. We have tried to take her with us on July 4th outings ever since, but it was always panic and run away regardless of what we did to soothe her. We decided to try this device on her yesterday to see how she did. We took the advice on the instructions to work with her wearing it while it was calm. Each time, she seemed completely at ease and would fall asleep with it on. This year, we went to a concert venue where they would be having fireworks overhead. Before the main fireworks show started, there were other neighborhoods and individuals around us that were popping off their own personal fireworks, which were still loud enough to cause a substantial boom. As soon as she heard the first one, she stood up and started pacing around, rapidly looking for an escape route. We immediately placed the hoodie on her and she sat down, then eventually laid down even while fireworks were going on all around us. Simply amazing. I think she even fell asleep at one point. When the main fireworks came on, she sat up and was a bit shaky, but then laid back down but was a bit shaky so we eventually put her in the car with the hoodie on to not cause her too much distress. We could not be more impressed with how well this worked for her considering she typically would definitely not have tolerated the smaller fireworks, let alone most of the larger fireworks show. The quality of the hoodie is nice, thick and strong enough to be a bit snug but not constrictive in any way. For our pup, we purchased a L. The color is bright and vibrant. Overall, it's easy enough to stretch to get it in place but not too tight to where it is uncomfortable. It may not work for all dogs universally, but at the price point, it seems like it'd be worth a shot for those who have anxious dogs. Our other dog could not be any more opposite and is not scared of any noises at all. He sat through the entirety of the fireworks show. Pictures are of one of the trial runs at home and then one at the actual fireworks show. Great product, highly recommend.

We had high hopes for this to keep our small dog calm during thunderstorms and fire works. She was fine with having it on ... except that she would stand up and list to one side or fall over. It did seem to have a calming effect for the short time she had it on, but it seems to affect her balance and so we're not using it.

It’s true fit, the size chart really helped. Nice quality. It’s not slippery and my dog seems really calm when using it.

I’m so glad I went with this one. It’s obviously great quality… you can tell immediately. It’s nice and thick, a strong fabric. It’s also very soft. Definitely not scratchy or uncomfortable. I put it on myself before my dog tried it. Haha. Most importantly, of course, is the thickness that ENSURES it will do its intended job of providing comfort and noise reduction. And that it’s comfortable enough that my dog enjoys wearing it and it won’t slip off. We used it immediately… first in the bath in order to reduce ear shaking. (My pup had a hematoma that I do not wish to repeat). Then used again while using the grooming dryer… check. No problems at all with being bothered by the air or noise. I almost can’t wait for the next thunderstorm so I can test it out then! But, again, the quality and thickness gives me high hopes that it will help calm my pup thru that, as well. Great product! I’ve already shared the link with multiple people and told them to accept no cheap imitations! This is the same price as others that are not nearly as well made. I will definitely be purchasing more for my smaller dogs, as well. Thank you!

It's a great product and nice fit on my dog. I only gave it lower stars because my dog has an ear hematoma and is shaking his head a lot and two shakes and it is completely off his head and around his neck. I will most likely use it again for bathing in the future, but I was hoping to help his ears.
