Sick of your dog’s wet, dirty ears! A snood is the perfect answer, it’s a protective scarf for dogs with long ears or long hair on their ears. It keeps the ears tucked away and out of the food and water bowl. Also great for keeping them off the ground when it’s raining or mucky outside.
Snoods are ideal when grooming, to keep the ears and hair out of the way, particularly when working on the neck and neck areas. They also keep hair and ears out of their food and water bowls. Snoods are an essential part of your show dog kit, and the easiest way to keep your show dog's ear clean and tidy, stop ear chewing and reduce grooming time on show day. But there are also used to protect long-eared dogs, keeping the ears tucked away to prevent dragging on the ground.
Dog Snoods stop ears from trailing on the ground or from falling into feeding and water bowls. Ideal aid to keep a show dogs coat in top condition and keeping ears dry and slobber free! They are a lifesaver for show dogs that over clean and chew the hair on their ears to keep it clean.

Where to measure your dog?
Size is based on head circumference taken just front of the ears. The dog snood fits over the head and neck. The head elastic sits just in front of the dogs ears, at the back of the skull and the neck end should sit about ¾ down the neck or about where a standard flat collar would – depending on the snood type and dog breed. Make sure it’s not too tight. It should fit snugly without causing any pressure on your dog's head or neck. Never use a snood that is to small, as being too tight will cause discomfort to your dog.
Wearing A Snood
While most show dog's start wearing snoods from a young age pet dogs often need a little encouragement to keep it on the first few times.
Simply scrunch the snood up in your hands and place over your dog’s head, tucking the ears in. The head elastic sits just in front of the ears, at the back of the skull and the neck elastic should sit about where a standard flat collar would go. Make sure it’s not too tight. It should fit snugly without causing any pressure on your dog's head or neck.
Or if they need a little more encouragement to keep the snood on , the easiest way to get your dog used to wearing a snood is to offer positive reward. Dogs are smart, it won't take long to work out they get rewards for doing nothing. With a treat in your hand, put the snood on your arm, as your dog takes the treat move the snood onto his head and reward again or place his dinner in front of him. It won’t take long before you can slip the snood on right before meals without any fuss as they associate the snood with dinner time. And of course no more food stuck in his ears, means less grooming for you.
