- HOW TO REDUCE NOISE. It is important to place the ears DOWN over the ear canals so the ear canals are NOT exposed, then secure them in place w/ Happy Hoodie. Noise reduction is achieved by Happy Hoodie’s gentle compression closing off the ear canal. IF YOU THINK IT’S TOO TIGHT, PLEASE KNOW SNUGNESS IS NECESSARY.

My poor girl had surgery for an ear hematoma, so I needed something to hold her ears down so she couldn’t flap. I got a size large which fit great for my 55 pound lab mix.
I found the happy hoodie was fairly easy to fall down to her neck or just get off completely after Ruby got used to it.
We started wrapping her ears first with the stretchy self adhesive banages, then put the happy hoodie over that. Worked like a charm!
You can’t go wrong with the price either. I bought two right away so I could switch off when one got dirty.
I did try a couple other brands/hoodies. I ended up returning the others because they didnt work out as well as Happy Hoodie did.

Our 74lb Husky/Shepherd mix gets completely hysterical during storms. Panting, shaking trying to hide anywhere/everywhere. We choose not to medicate and thunder jackets are cumbersome, so with low expectations we bought this. WOW, it has made a huge difference! Now she runs to her crate and gladly lets me put it on her and fold her ears down. We have had multiple storms since buying this and it’s been a game changer for her. Is she completely calm, no but going from a 10+ hysteria down to a 3 nervous is a win win!! Next test will be the upcoming fireworks. *Highly Recommend*

Oh my goodness. I’m absolutely ASTONISHED, speechless, grateful beyond belief. The only regret I have is not finding this sooner!!!! I truly could not recommend it more.
Both of my dogs have struggled with anxiety since they were puppies.
One has had positive results with other remedies, but has still immensely struggled with storms, fireworks, vet visits. The other is extremely reactive, and it’s been defeating trying product after product without any relief whatsoever. UNTIL TODAY. Prescription medications did not help at all, Prozac had no effect after years of trial and error with adjunct therapies. Trazodone, Gabapentin, Benadryl had the opposite effect, causing paradoxical excitation. It’s been heartbreaking seeing him struggle, being on edge, jumpy, barking at every sound, scared terribly of day to day stressors, unable to relax. It’s been years researching for a solution and trying everything from medications, calming treats, pheromone spray/collars/plug-ins, positive reinforcement, training, anxiety vests, snuggle toys, distraction, etc. Nothing has calmed him, until now.
When putting this on, I anticipated them trying to take it off/fighting it, but let me tell you – family members & I were all speechless. Both of my pups were immediately calm, fell into a deep REM sleep within 1 minute (not exaggerating).
Seeing them both at ease, calm, and resting (let alone when fireworks are already starting for the holiday weekend), is truly incredible. Neither have batted an eye or reacted to any noises or movement.
I cannot speak enough praises about this product. The quality, price point, comfort level, mobility, wearability – UNMATCHED.
The relief and happiness I feel is overwhelming. I owe you WAY more than a 5 star review. THANK. YOU. from the bottom of my heart. I will be a lifelong customer.

This thing is AMAZING!! My dog has extreme anxiety over fireworks, storms, and any other loud noises. I have tried calming treats, etc. and none of it worked for him. I have lost so much sleep on stormy nights because he is so scared that he is literally shaking the whole bed! My vet office sent out an email about the 4th of July coming up and items that may help with pets being scared and this item was recommended by them. I ordered one for him and on the first sound of thunder, I slid it on him and he instantly laid down and went to sleep!!!! I would recommend everyone with a fur baby as scared as mine to get one of these!

Seems to work! Fireworks make our dog tremble in fear, for hours, even after they stop. 1 minute with this on, the trembling slowed, another minute there was pauses between the trembling and within 5 minutes the trembling stopped all together. We used it 3 times successfully over the Canada Day long weekend.

First time using was yesterday during major thunderstorm. First of all it was very comfortable for my dog and cute looking. However, it did not reduce her anxiety as she could still hear the storm. This does not cancel loud noises as described.

The product is well made and the Large fit our 90 pound, 6 yr old GSD perfectly. It’s easy to put on and the dog doesn’t seem to mind it. However, it hasn’t offered of a solution to a suddenly noise skittish dog. Back to the drawing board.

I just received the Happy Hoodie today, I am very pleased with the softness yet firm tightness and thickness of the head wrap. My cat was going to start acting up, so I used the hoodie, my cat calmed right down and allowed me to bath her. I was quite impressed. Something so simple, helping so much!

Good quality product. I’ve only tried it once and my dog wasn’t very keen on it but I think it will work with a few more tries.

It’s like we have a new dog!!! Our 100 lb Dane, Marley hates thunderstorms with a passion. I bought this yesterday it was delivered today. A storm had started just before the hoodie was delivered. My husband immediately opened the package, saw how to use it and put it on her. Perfect fit and for the first time in 8 years she got up on the couch and just laid down. The thunder didn’t bother her a bit. My husband said it was instant relief for her. He is totally amazed by how she’s like a different dog. He said she did give him the look like she was being punished but then just went and and curled up and went to sleep. That is a first we never get sleep during thunderstorms never. So I highly recommend this. Absolutely amazing. And yes her collar says F*** cancer because our girl has cancer.

My dog is petrified of thunder and fireworks. The fireworks have already begun, and I purchased this for her, along with a thunder blanket hoping that it will help. Last night there were fireworks, not a lot, but she heard them and I immediately got the blanket and head wrap. Within minutes, she was rested. I don’t know if it was a one time thing or if it was coincidence, all I know is that it worked. Time will tell. After a while, I took everything off and she slept through the night. I can say that the quality of this is very good. It does stay on in place and I think it was an excellent value for what I paid.

My doggy loves wearing it especially during this season when noise pollution is high

nous avons acheté cette capuche parce que nous avons deux chiens et que notre shi tzu mordait tout le temps l’oreille de notre bichon, grâce à cette capuche, nous n’avons plus ce problème mais ce que nous ignorions c’est que cette capuche allait entièrement changer notre vie!!! En effet, notre bichon, contrairement à notre shi tzu est très nerveux et aboie à chaque bruit qu’il entend, depuis cette capuche nous avons deux chiens super sages!!!!! Je recommande, je viens d’en commander une autre pour mon shi tzu parce qu’il a peur quand il sort en ville à cause du bruit de la circulation, il sera apaisé également grapce à cette capuche. Merci au vendeur!!
