Questions & Answers

14 Customer Questions


is it an actual hoodie like a sweatshirt with a hood or is it just a hood like a hat?

Answer by ChewyJun 22, 2020
This hoodie is not a sweatshirt. It is a soft, expandable, comfort band that is placed over a pet's ears to provide relief and protection from loud noises and forceful air.

What prevents them from getting it off

Answer by ChewyOct 14, 2020
If your pet has enough strength, energy and determination, they might be able to remove the hoodie. Some pets may not be as receptive to wearing Happy Hoodie; however, most are very appreciative with having it on during a stressful situation.

What kind of fabric is this made of? What is the content?

Answer by ChewySep 29, 2020
The Happy Hoodie Calming Dog Compression Hoodie is made of cotton.

How long should my dog wear their Happy Hoodie in one sitting? Is it safe to wear it through the night while we're all sleeping?

Answer by ChewyJul 04, 2022
It is safe for a pet to wear Happy Hoodie throughout the night as there is no time limit for how long a dog can wear Happy Hoodie. It is a beneficial safety aspect that if a pet really wants to remove Happy Hoodie, they usually can do so by shaking or pawing it off (and it can take a lot of effort for some); however, we still recommend that pets are not left unattended while wearing Happy Hoodie.

My dog didn't quit like it at first putting it on but after some positive condition training and a good distraction of peanut butter, he doesn't mind it for our short sessions with the blow dryer. We tried it with New Year's eve and 4th of July fireworks while staying indoors but when you live out of city limits in a celebratory firework-happy neighborhood, it becomes a lot longer of a wearing session and after 10 minutes that's his limit and he'll start pawing at it. Might be a little too tight for his big head since he's an XL German Shepherd for long sessions but it's comfortable enough for his blowdry sessions.

I bought the Happy Hoodie in an effort to make claw clipping easier and less stressful for my cats. Unfortunately, the Happy Hoodie had the complete opposite effect. Unfortunately, they both suffered the opposite effect, leaping from my arms and crashing into furniture in an attempt to free themselves from the terrycloth prison. Both of my animals are usually very chill, but the Happy Hoodie resulted in unnecessary added stress (and bloodloss from me).

I thought this was a good idea, so I tried it with two boxers that were scared of loud thunder and fireworks. They tolerated having the hoodies placed over their heads and necks, but they wouldn't keep them on for very long. I may try these again this spring when we have more thunder storms.

Though I need to replace this with a size up because it seemed very tight on Fred, he seemed to like it and was much more comfy with the dryer with it on! I am certain it muffled the noise for him and made him more secure. This could even be used if a hood on a jacket doesn't stay on and you want a hat on the head in the extreme cold. Just be certain you order one big enough!

I use these Happy Hoodies snoods to bathe and blow dry my dogs. They are stretchy but tight enough to keep water out and to reduce the sounds from the blower. I just bought another one for my daughter's dog and it works for her too.

Tried it on my lab. He’s not sure what to think of it but he tolerates it. I hope it works for thunderstorms and I may even use it to keep his ears warm when we’re outside during our cold winter weather.

We first seen the happy hoodie on TikTok Girl with a Dog Grooming. We have been using it in a couple different ways. We use it for calming down my male who is blind. We also use it for protecting his wrapping on his injured ear. Goes on snug, not to tight, doesn't bother him. Stay on a brachycephalic Boston Terrier excellently!

Only tried it on her once. I need to learn how to better put it on her. We will practice putting it on and get her used to it. It is made well and fits snug. I can see how it will muffle the sound and hopefully help her.
