Noise-Reducing Dog Earmuffs for Hunting and Shooting

Gunfire, engines and other loud sounds are part of a hunting day, and dogs are right in the middle of it. These earmuffs are made for that setting. They cover the dog's ears in head-cover style and are designed for noise reduction and sound insulation, so a loud day afield is a little less harsh for your dog.

The shell is ABS plastic, which keeps the weight to about 8.6 oz (245 g). Choose black for a plain look or camouflage if you want the muffs to blend in with the rest of your hunting gear. One pair is included.

Fit is the part to take seriously. The muffs sit over the head and ears, so introduce them well before the first outing: let your dog sniff them, put them on for a few seconds at home with a treat, and build up slowly. Make sure the cups sit comfortably over the ears without folding them, and check regularly during use that nothing has slipped or is rubbing.

No product can promise to remove noise completely, so keep exposure short and keep your dog at a sensible distance from loud noise where you can. After use, wipe the shell with a damp cloth and let it air dry before storing it.
