Dog Winter Hat with Ear & Neck Warmer - Soft Fleece Scarf Headband for Small Medium Large Dogs - Noise Protection for Anxiety - Yellow (Perfect for Cold Weather Walks & Outdoor Adventures)

I bought these “snoods” in anticipation of my dog getting surgery to remove a thyroid tumor. The surgeon recommended that I get a “snood” or “turtleneck” to cover as much of his incision as possible during recovery in order to prevent him from scratching it (as the location of the incision would not allow him to wear an e-collar). We are now three weeks post-op, and the area that was covered by these looks great! He tried to scratch several times but was not able to get to the incision because these snoods were thick enough that they protected his skin from his nails. They also seemed breathable, and durable—I switched them out daily and washed them in the machine, and they haven’t ripped or faded at all. They were soft and he seemed as comfortable as he could be in them.My dog is a 75-lb. pitbull with a 19” neck circumference, so after measuring him, I chose a size large. They fit loosely on him, but I think that a medium would have been too snug, and for these purposes I am glad that they weren’t too tight.This is less of a critique of the product and more something to note if your dog has features similar to mine. My dog is older and has quite a bit of loose neck skin, which did push the snood down farther toward his chest than I wanted. I didn’t buy this to put it over his ears, but it wouldn’t have stayed there if I wanted it to because of the characteristics of his neck.Overall, I am happy that I found these and recommend them to anyone who is looking for post-surgery protection on a hard-to-cover area on a dog.
