Why Your Dog Needs a Summer Snood:

Protect Ears Even When It’s Not Raining

When you think of dog snoods, you might imagine cozy winter accessories or waterproof gear for rainy days. But did you know that summer snoods are just as important for your pup’s comfort and ear protection — even when it’s sunny and dry?

Why Use a Dog Snood in Summer? Long, floppy ears are prone to more than just dirt and moisture. In summer, your dog’s ears can easily become overheated, irritated by dust, or tangled by wind and outdoor activities. 

A lightweight summer snood:


- Protects ears from dust, pollen, long grass, and debris during walks, hikes, or
playtime in grassy areas.
- Keeps ears from overheating by allowing breathability and air circulation.
- Prevents tangling and damage to long or silky ears when your dog is active.
- Helps reduce ear infections by limiting exposure to allergens and irritants.
- Offers a gentle, calming feel that can help anxious dogs feel more secure.
