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.

Waterproof Snood:

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.

Fantastic product ! Very cute pattern although I did buy a size too small .. so it’s a touch snug
Thank you so much, Emily! ❤️ What a gorgeous photo of your Cavalier! We're delighted you love the pattern of your handmade cotton dog snood. Sorry to hear the fit was a little snug! Sizing can be tricky with those beautiful long ears, so we always recommend measuring around the widest part of the head, including the ears. If you ever need help choosing a size, we're only a message away!

Our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has exceptionally long ears! This is perfect for eating his dinner.
We absolutely love hearing this — thank you! ✨
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and their glorious long ears are exactly why our snoods exist. Dinner time can get messy fast, so knowing it’s doing the job and keeping those ears clean makes us so happy.
We design our dog snoods with comfort and practicality in mind, especially for long-eared breeds like Cavaliers, so they can enjoy every meal without the post-dinner cleanup drama.

Love this snood, the cavaliers are so cute. It is well made and fits my cavalier perfectly, it’s the first snood she willingly puts on.
Absolutely gorgeous design, very fasy delivery. It is for his birthday, so I haven't tried it out, but it looks very well made.
First time buyer from Tinka & Co. High quality product and I'd purchase from them again for sure.
10 out 10 my dog dexter loves it it was want L was looking for for my dog
Very pleased with it, the dog adjusted to it quickly. Love the design. NB: there is no such breed as King Charles Cavalier. You should correct the title to Cavalier King Charles. Thank you
