Why your dog needs a snood
Cotton Snood:
Mealtimes, grooming and vet visits all have one thing in common for long-eared dogs — ears end up somewhere they shouldn't. Our everyday snood gently holds ears back so your dog can eat, drink and be groomed without the mess.
- Keeps ears out of food and water bowls
- Prevents matting and tangles during grooming
- Reduces irritation from trapped food and moisture
- Suitable for daily use, shows and vet visits
- Fits spaniels, poodles, setters and all long-eared breeds
Waterproof Snood:
Wet ears after a bath or swim aren't just uncomfortable — they're a leading cause of ear infections in long-eared dogs. Our waterproof snood creates a gentle barrier that keeps ears dry when it matters most.
- Keeps ears dry during baths and swimming
- Helps prevent moisture-related ear infections
- Ideal for wet-weather walks
- Secure fit that stays put in water
- Fits spaniels, poodles, setters and all long-eared breeds
How it fits
Our snoods stretch gently over your dog’s ears and sit securely behind them, holding ears back without feeling restrictive. The fit should be snug but comfortable, so your dog can still open their mouth, pant and move freely.
Cavaliers: most wear Medium. Medium Long gives extra length for longer ears, and larger Cavaliers with broader heads may suit Large.
Cocker Spaniels: Medium suits shorter or regularly trimmed ears, while Medium Long gives more room for longer ears. Larger Cockers may need Large, depending on head measurement.
Medium Long is longer, not wider. Choose it for ear length, and size up only for head width. Medium Long is available on selected prints.
Not sure? Send us a photo and your dog's head measurement — we're always happy to help you find the right fit before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this actually stay on?
Yes, when sized correctly, it sits snug and stays in place.
For the best fit, keep the logo at the top of your dog’s head (this is the front). If your dog is a bit like Vincent, tucking the ears into the back elastic can help keep everything secure.
What if it feels tight? It should stretch comfortably over the ears. If your dog has long ears, Medium Long gives extra length without extra width. If it feels tight around the head, the next size up is the better choice.
Will my dog tolerate it? Most dogs adjust quickly—it’s soft, lightweight, and non-restrictive.
Designed for long-eared dogs—once you try it, it becomes a must-have.

Loved the Snood! I needed something to keep my pup's fluffy ears burr free (and everything else). It was shipped really quickly and was made of quality fabric. I wasn't sure about the sizing, but went with the guidelines, and it fit my Cockerlier perfectly. Surprisingly he didn't immediately take it off either. I am so happy with the product and service, and was delighted to hear the story behind the product when I received it.
Hi Mel,
Thank you so much for your beautiful feedback We’re thrilled to hear you’re loving the Red Tartan Dapper Snood and that it’s doing its job keeping those fluffy ears burr-free!
We’re especially glad the sizing guide worked perfectly for your Cockerlier — and even better that he was happy to keep it on. That’s always a win 🙌
Thank you as well for sharing the photo of your gorgeous pup — we absolutely loved seeing it.
It really means a lot to us that the story behind the product resonated with you too. Feedback like this is exactly why we do what we do.
Thanks again for your support, and please give your handsome boy a cuddle from us
Warmly,

Super happy with the snoods. Much better than using rubber bands like I used to. The quality is superb, love the patterns and love that they are Australian made. Will recommend to friends and family.
