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 are designed to stretch gently over your dog's ears and sit securely behind them — keeping ears held back without feeling restrictive. The snood should feel snug but comfortable. Your dog should be able to open their mouth, pant, and move freely.
If your dog is between sizes, size up for more ear room — or size down for a closer, more secure fit. Both are valid depending on your dog and how you plan to use it.

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.
- How do I measure?
Our snoods are designed to stretch gently over your dog’s ears and sit just above them at the top of the head, with the back resting comfortably around the neck—keeping ears clean without feeling restrictive.
STEP 1 — Measure Around the Head (Most Important)
Using a soft tape measure:
• Measure around the widest part of your dog’s head
• Include the ears (as if pulling the snood on)
• Keep the tape snug, not tight
👉 This ensures the snood fits comfortably over the ears.
STEP 2 — Check the Length
• Measure from just above the ears (top of the head)
• Down to where you’d like the snood to sit (usually mid-neck)
Dogs with longer or fuller ears may prefer sizing up.
__________________________________
- What if it feels tight?
It should stretch comfortably over the ears. If unsure, size up. Eg. a Cocker can fit a medium, however their ears will be much more comfortable in a large.
- When should I use it?
Mealtimes, rainy walks, grooming, bath time.
- 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.
