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

These are so worth it if you are a groomer of cats or dogs. They help calm the pet immensely while being dried and can help with scared kitties who would rather be hiding in a hole than where they are. You can pull the happy hoodie over their eyes and ears to make them feel safer during the groom. I bought two different sizes XS and SM since I groom only cats and the size difference will matter when trying to protect their ears from loud sounds. They are easily washed as well. I just throw them in with the regular laundry and will dry on a low setting.

I don't know what kind of magic this thing possesses, but it has really worked for my dog, 75 lb lab mix. For a variety of reasons (combination of aging behavior, health issues, excitable personality, etc.) my dog started waking up frequently throughout the night. Before the happy hoodie, he would pace restlessly in the bedroom or whine until I woke up and we'd go downstairs and lay on the couch. One night I decided to see if this would help - he woke up restless, I gently slipped it on him, and within seconds he was back on the bed and snoozing away comfortably until it was time to get up. I use it during the daytime here and there when he is overly worked up or restless for one reason or another and it has worked consistently for him. Make sure to keep their ears flat against their head underneath the hoodie - takes a second or two to get the fit right but it makes a difference. It worked so well I bought a second one so I could have an upstairs one and a downstairs one. Size large was a good fit. Worth every penny in my opinion!

I wouldn't recommend the HH as a "fix" for pups like mine who get frightened with fireworks. However, paired with CBD or DVM prescribed meds, and utilizing loud music the HH can be nice complement to ease your pups anxiety during fireworks.

We have 2 doodles that we bathe between grooming and both have sensitive ears. The first time we used the Happy Hoodie, I figured I’d be chasing a wet dog around the house as soon when we turned the grooming dryer on, but nope. Both of them settled in and let me brush/dry them and even helped dry their ears with the microfiber type material on the hoodie. It does fit snug on our big boys but that seems to help with the noise and it seems comfortable for them. Super easy to put on too. No pulling or attempting to remove the hoodie at all, so I’m super pleased!!

Worked for one night….but that’s really all I needed it for. I definitely should have got a smaller size but we were able to tuck the neck part under his collar to help keep it in place. He fought me from the moment I put it on him. The first 10 minutes he had it on, he tried pawing at it to get it off and we corrected him immediately and he left it alone. Not completely alone tho….when morning came, the entire thing was around his neck and off of his head. But to us, it wasn’t a complete dud! We really only needed to protect the wound for the first 24 hours and we did that! And thankfully, the wound healed as expected! Yahhhh! And let’s be honest, he looked pretty darn cute!! It’s not a complete waste of money!

The Happy Hoodie calming band works much better than I initially expected for helping pets stay calmer during stressful situations. The soft, stretchy fabric gently wraps around the ears and head, which seems to reduce sensitivity to loud sounds like thunder, fireworks, or noisy grooming equipment. When used during grooming sessions, it helped my pet stay noticeably more relaxed and less reactive to the sound of clippers and dryers. The material is soft and comfortable without feeling restrictive, and it stays in place well once positioned correctly. It’s lightweight and easy to slip on and off, and the larger size fits securely without squeezing too tightly. For pets that get anxious during grooming or loud events, it can make the experience much less stressful. One helpful tip is to place the band over the ears gradually and adjust it so it sits snugly but comfortably around the head. It’s also useful to introduce it briefly before a stressful event so your pet can get used to the feeling. Overall, this is a simple but effective calming aid that can help reduce noise sensitivity and make grooming or loud environments easier for pets to handle.

This helped my dog with thunder storms. I went with a size larger. I bought one tgat was her size according to the chart and it seemed a little too tight for her. She is a mix so she has a oddly small head compared to her bidy. Lol.

Ze vinden het verschrikkelijk

Schöner elastischer Hoodie, der sich gut an die Kopfform anpasst. Ich habe den Hoodie gekauft, um die Ohren unseres Hundes zu schützen, der zeitweise ein Problem mit Ohrrandnekrose hatte. Der Hoodie wurde gut angenommen und war sehr hilfreich.

She hates it, however curiously it did mean that I could get all her claws done with no hissy scratching.

Buen producto. Mi perra se calma con él.

Bought for my senior cat because she has severe anxiety. She was sedated along with the happy hoody and she was an angel. I more bought it for the sake of my cats condition. She suffers from a condition (EGC) where she gets sores and she usually gets them on her neck. This was the perfect solution to stop her from itching the sores on her neck. She did scratch the hell out of it. Will def buy another if the other falls apart but very durable. Bonus she looked very regal. I didn't realize it came with a small and big size. Gifted the bigger size to family friend with a doge.
