While many dogs seem to lose their hearing when exposed to gunshots, there are other situations where hearing loss can occur. Dogs that ride in airplanes – especially dogs that spend time in the cargo hold– can experience hearing loss as well, as we saw in the study about police dogs. Dogs Ear shape – Again, ears vary in dogs a lot, and getting the muffs to fully cover some of these shapes is difficult. Think Basset Hound.To protect your dog’s hearing, we recommend the Mutt Muffs. They’re effective and more affordable than many other options. They’re specially designed to fit your dog’s head and are made with extra-wide foam for comfort. No, most ultrasonic pest repellents are made to specifications that will not harm domestic pets like cats and dogs. Dog Size – Dogs vary in size, manufacturers know this and will provide different sizes. Be sure to read the size guide to get the correct one. Both fireworks and thunder have a visual part and the sound. These are especially visible at night (I don’t think you ever have day fireworks!). Draw the curtains and try to make the room that your dog is in as light as possible. This will stop them from noticing the flashes, helping to calm the dog. Distract the Dog

This considers how easy the product is to put on and take off your dog, how easy it is to clean, and more. Is it a burden in your life?

Conclusion Many entertainment events will also require hearing protection for your dog. The loud noises associated withracing events, for example, can frighten your canine, especially drag racing. These hoodies can also be useful if you have a dog that gets a lot of grass seeds, or similar in the ears when it is growing Things To Consider When Buying Dog Ear Plugs I realize that there will be a lot of people who think that Dog Ear Plugs is a crazy idea. With our first dog, we never got hearing protection, and he was absolutely fine. (Hid when fireworks went off though). Our new dog is a lot more nervous, and dog ear muffs do help.But, if you have some extra money to spend and want the very best ear protection available, you should go with the K-9 Ear Muffs instead. Events that Might Affect Your Dog’s Hearing They deter rodents and similar. If you have a pet Hamster, mouse or rabbit, the noise will affect them. More dogs go missing on the 4 th of July than any other day of the year because the loud blasts of the fireworks scare them. Dogs can also hear frequencies about twice as high as a human. Humans can hear the ranges of about 64-23000Hz, and dogs can hear 67-45000Hz, so you miss half of the noises that a dog hears. Damage in a dog’s ears are much like humans. When damage occurs, it is a tiny unnoticeable change that will not be reversible. This damage builds up over time, and that is why in our old age many people are hard of hearing.

Dog's Head shape – The size and shape of heads vary a lot, meaning that it is harder to find the exact right size.

You cannot explain to dogs why this is happening like you can with children, or tell them to swallow, or yawn to reduce the pressure difference. Gunshots are extremely loud, which is why most people wear ear protection while shooting. Dogs that do not wear ear protection in these situations are more prone to hearing loss. Can’t Adjust Themselves – You know if your earmuffs are not on correctly and can adjust them. Dogs can’t. Dogs can hear ultrasonic sounds, and if you have any ultrasonic appliances in the house (E.g. cleaner, pest repellers or humidifier), if they are too loud they can damage your dog’s hearing.
