Mutt Muffs
Overview
|
The inner foam that we use is the exact same ester resin foam that is used in many high end commercial head sets designed for humans. Based on the materials used, the estimated decibel reduction is between 21 and 24, assuming proper fit and a good seal against your pup's head. That's 21-24 dB reduction in the human hearing range of 20,000 cycles per second, which is the only range that we have data for. Our canine friends can hear much higher frequencies (in the range of 43,000 cycles per second). As the frequency goes up, so does the effectiveness of Mutt Muffs, simply because the higher the frequency is, the more easily it is absorbed. Therefore, Mutt Muffs are especially effective at protecting against the high frequency wind whistles and shrieks we humans cannot even hear. There is another factor that comes into play as well. The dog's own ear flaps are down and covering the ear canal, providing yet another layer of protection, better even than placing your hands over your own ears. Mutt Muffs are designed not to block out all sound, but to be a passive, noise reducing device that will make a ride in the airplane a comfortable experience for your mutt. |

These work great. Obviously, I cant speak for how well they block noise, but my dog wears them and seems to not be bothered! Good investment to help save your pups hearing and make the flight more comfortable!

Seems to fit well. Our dog didnt mind wearing them. Only complaint is the velcro straps are loud enough that the dog jumps when readjusting size, making the adjustment harder.

We have a 70lbs American Bully and the Velcro straps were perfect for getting just the right fit around his big head. He never tried to take them off and he slept for most of the flight with his Mutt Muffs on the whole time.

Quality is good and the foam used is effective at dampening sound. The adjustable Velcro straps allow multiple adjustments. The dog doesn’t mind wearing these and doesn’t try to remove them during flight. I guess they work.

Probably best to go with the smaller size as it is essential that there be a tight seal to gain the noise reduction benefits. "If you choose a size too large, the muffs won't seal well against his head, and you lose all the sound-reducing properties you were shooting for."
Yes, the outside of the Mutt Muffs are black.
These will reduce the noise the dog hears. However, we have no data or testing which shows how effective they are for eliminating firework noise. They were intended to reduce the sounds of the airplane engine for dogs.
Yes, we accept returns on product that can be resold as new within 30 days of receipt. Please try them and if they do not work, return them before use. If the product appears used or damaged, a return may not be accepted.
They should work for blocking the noise but they may be slightly uncomfortable for the dog if they have very pointy ears.
These Mutt Muffs are black.
Yes, they may not be great for dogs with pointy ears. They are better for dogs with floppy ears.
These will provide hearing protection in any environment, however, the amount of noise reduction varies by fit on the animal and it will not provide total quiet.
At this time, there are no canine headsets available or Bluetooth mutt muffs.
Most likely Large size but each dog is different so we cannot guarantee fit.
