shells Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I havent seen these in real life but would a snood help prevent my dogs getting grass seeds in their ears? If so where do you buy yours from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeeGee Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 snoods are cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swizzlestick Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 If its a long eared breed ,Yes snoods would help .have pmed u Sure will help! Doesn't have to be a long eared breed though. Regardless of the length of ear, the snood still covers right over the whole area, be it a JRT ear or an Afghan ear. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frufru Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Just be aware that it could get hot and sweaty in those ears due to the snoods . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florise Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Snoods are great protection to stop seeds going down ear canals. They are easy to make - a cylinder of fabric (rectangle folded and one side sewn together) with elastic threaded through both ends. Not too tight, not too loose just measure elastic around dog's head and neck first. You can even use big old socks with the foot cut out for smaller dogs, or the sleeves of long t-shirts.

ellz Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Snoods aren't just for those poofy longhaired dogs you know! Why just stop at a snood? Bah humbug...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shells Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 Great photos Ellz Just be aware that it could get hot and sweaty in those ears due to the snoods . I did worry about that but I thought breathable cotton for 30 mins every second day may not be too bad - just enough to have a game of ball (they really miss it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellz Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 You could even cut the leg out of a pair of pantyhose and make a tube to see if it will work initially....before you go to the expense of buying or making snoods. From a snood user, cotton and cotton blend fabrics are easier to care for and tend to breathe better to allow air to get into the ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
