About this item
- MADE FOR GROOMERS, BY GROOMERS. Happy Hoodie was created as a grooming tool to CALM & protect dogs from the loud noise & high-pressured air associated w/ force drying. Happy Hoodie saves valuable time in the Grooming Salon & creates a safer environment by calming upset, disagreeable, aggressive, or sensitive dogs during any potentially stressful situation, such as toenail clipping, clipper work, brushing, bathing, etc. The dog anxiety calming aid you want to have in your dog grooming tool kit.
- 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. IF YOUR 4 FINGERS FIT UNDER IT, IT'S NOT TOO TIGHT (IT'S SO STRETCHY!). Pets appreciate it most when used ONLY during a stressful situation. PLEASE REFER TO SIZE GUIDE BEFORE PURCHASE.
- HELPS KEEP PETS CALM AND COMFORTABLE AT HOME TOO! Uses include: Anti-anxiety aid for stress in the home, car, and at the Vets; dog ear muffs for noise cancelling to protect dogs’ ears and hearing from loud noise, such as Thunder, Fireworks, vacuums, and gun fire; aerate the ears; heal or prevent hematomas; neck and ear warmers; grooming aid; keeping long ear and facial hair up and out of the way while eating or drinking.

Product Description

-
-
Save valuable time and create a safer environment in the grooming salon when force drying, bathing, trimming nails, dematting, etc.
-
Relieve pet's anxiety from loud noises such as thunder, fireworks, vacuums, as well as from separation anxiety and social events.
-
Help reduce travel anxiety and car sickness.
-
Help prevent or heal hematomas, improve post-surgery ear care, aerate the ears, and keep medication from being shaken out.
-
Is it Too Tight?
If you think it's TOO TIGHT, please know snugness is necessary. If your 4 fingers still fit under it, it's not too tight. Happy Hoodie is made of super stretchy fabric to ensure your dog's comfort even with a snug fit.
-
If your pet is unsure about wearing Happy Hoodie, treats and/or praise can be used for positive reinforcement.
-
We recommend supervising your pet while wearing Happy Hoodie.
-
Just how snug should this be on my dog? How do I know if it's too tight?
If at least 4 fingers fit comfortably between your pet's head and Happy Hoodie, it's not too tight. For dogs with overly thick necks, fold any excess fabric on the neck onto its head or use your pet's neck measurement for sizing to aid with comfort.
-
How does Happy Hoodie reduce noise for my dog? I put this on my head and I can still hear through the fabric.
It's similar to closing off your ear canal by pressing your ear closed with your finger. With the pet's ears covering the ear opening, Happy Hoodie’s gentle compression on the ears closes off the ear canal, which results in reduced noise.
-
My dog pawed at it and caused some fraying. Will it still work or will the fraying cause it to fall apart?
Since this is a knitted product, fraying can happen, but Happy Hoodie is very durable! If it gets frayed, it will still keep its stretch and compression and won’t “fall apart”. Just scissor off the frayed material and keep using it as intended.
-
I tried this on my dog when it arrived and she didn't seem to like it. What can I do to help her want to wear it?
Like any calming aid, you won't know how effective it is until you use it when your dog is upset (most dogs are VERY appreciative when it's used during stressful times!). If she is still unsure, praise/treats are helpful positive reinforcement aids.
-
What are the washing instructions, can Happy Hoodie go in the washer and dryer?
Yes it can! Use low heat and be aware that bleach and high heat will reduce its elasticity and longevity. Please do not wash or dry with any object or material that it can snag on, such as Zippers and Velcro, as this can fray the material.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2025Size: X-SmallColor: BlackVerified PurchaseThis is a great way to distract your cat (I bought extra small) if you have to do something unpleasant (such as shaving a knot out of belly fur) that would otherwise result in teeth and nails sinking into your flesh.
Tips!
Prioritize what you want to get done. Have everything ready to go - if you're brushing or clipping nails or shaving - make sure anything with batteries is charged. Our old kitty doesn't mind the clippers, but she's developed knots on her belly and absolutely hates the clippers near her belly- so we needed help without taking her to the vet to be sedated. If you need glasses and a headlamp, have those ready too.
Turn it inside out so the tag and seam aren't an irritation to their ears! Calmly slip it over the head, position over the ears, get the cat into position, limit the working time to 1-2 minutes, then calmly remove the hoodie and do lots of head petting etc if kitty sticks around.
Don't try to do everything in one go. This is a great TOOL- just LIMIT the time and be done before kitty decides THEY are done. Used it 3 times now without kitty resentment. Excellent price. Nice quality (just turn it inside out)- snug without any danger of restricting breathing. Love it!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2025Size: SmallColor: PurpleVerified PurchaseI love this thing. I did order a small and its a little snug on my Cavalier king charles spaniel but this thing is worth it. My boy is scared of storms. Barks and whines at every thunder and whimpers the whole time it rains. Trembles in my lap until it passes. Put the happy hoodie on him and after he gets done trying to fight me to keep it on, he lays down and just sleeps. Its like the storm isn't passing.
I have also used it while blow drying all 4 of our pups and they actually stand still while drying them.
Im impressed enough that I've sent the link to several of my fur baby loving families. Awesome product
- Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2025Size: X-LargeColor: PinkVerified PurchaseWhile it seems to work well, our dog apparently has an extra extra large head and it seemed like the XL was a bit tight and was causing her to breathe strangely so had to take it off.
Came back to see if it came in an XXL but unfortunately it doesn’t. Bummer.
Edit: we found a way to make it work for our purpose by cutting it about 3/4 of the way through so it isn’t so restricting on our dog’s throat. It’s being used to go over a bandage covering an owie that keeps getting knocked/scraped open and licked by another dog (eye roll).
- Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2025Size: X-SmallColor: BlueVerified PurchaseAmazing how this actually works. The dog may want it off, in the beginning, but my Yorkie cannot hear the rain and normal thunder sound and does not start shaking and searching for a place to hice while crying. I never thought this was possible. I believe he can still hear the loudest sounds but the improvement is worth the cost.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2025Size: LargeColor: BlackVerified PurchaseSent back because my GSD got it off pretty quickly. It is very very tight on her big ol head despite being size L or XL. It would have likely worked had she not been so stressed about having it on. She wouldn’t have stopped trying to get it off. Seemed to be very hot too but she looked very cute and if your dog is smaller I bet it would work better. I can’t find a pic of her in it so I’ll add one of her in her child sized balaclava which also didn’t work. Oh I found the pics! Seller is legit. Got refund

- Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2025Size: SmallColor: PinkVerified PurchaseThis product is like a miracle. Without the Happy Hoodie, my cats would have ripped my effing face off before I could trim their nails, give them a bath, or give them a sanitary trim. Instead, they stay calm and nice while I blow dry them, vacuum their fur, comp out their matts, etc. Five stars!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2025Size: LargeColor: BlackVerified PurchaseBought this for my 2 year pitbull terrier when I bathe her. When I use the blower to dry her off, she would be a little scared. This calms her down and no accidental ear blows, which I'm sure hurts her ears. It fits snug on her and she seems to be very calm with it on.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2025Size: X-SmallColor: BlackVerified PurchaseI have a Rescue Chihuahua who developed a Hematoma. So the intent was to keep her from doing the head flip, hence the Ear Flip in order to reduce the damage to her blood vessels in the ear. The product works fine when it remains in place. It does seem to also settle the dog down a bit. The one drawback, it could be a little longer so it would stay in place longer.
Update, perhaps 2 weeks have past, when it remains in place it quiets the dog down, the one problem, she knows when we are watching, and when we are not watching she can have it off in a heart beat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good quality
Size: LargeColor: PurpleVerified PurchaseGood 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.
- Sarah MReviewed in Canada on May 26, 2025
5.0 out of 5 stars It works!
Size: X-LargeColor: PurpleVerified PurchaseI had noticed when I would dry my hair with a hairdryer that my dog hated the sound (don't blame her, it's loud even for me). I had been using a soft headband/snood to put over her ears to help her feel better for years. She hates things on her head, so the fact she accepted this made me realise she appreciated it.
I thought there surely has to be something specifically made for dogs, because she hates the sound of the blow dryer at the dog wash too.
Lo and behold, this product comes into my sight!
I tried it out with my dog during her first bath here in North America, and it actually worked! She didn't try to take it off and moved around MUCH less during the blow drying part of her bath.
Worth the purchase and the fit was perfect. Wish I looked these up sooner.

5.0 out of 5 stars So helpful for my dog dealing with fireworks
Size: LargeColor: PurpleVerified PurchaseI bought a medium for my GSP and it fits perfectly, snug but not tight. The dog doesn't seem to mind wearing it and she can hear some things but it certainly appears that its muted to a degree. She used to bark and stress out whenever she heard fireworks. With this on, she was sooo much more calm and able to relax and even sleep with this on along with music playing in the background. I'm so happy to help her cut her anxiety. I'm going to have her groomer try it on her too during her next appointment. Thank you!
