Dog ear defenders – does anyone have any feedback?

Hi everyone,

We’ll soon have the joy of welcoming a little White Swiss Shepherd puppy into our home.

My boyfriend DJs from time to time (once or twice a month), mostly at outdoor events, and we’d like to take her with us as much as possible.

For these outdoor gigs, she’d stay close to him. However, we’re worried about her little ears and are thinking of protecting her from the decibel levels with some dog ear defenders.

I’ve just seen that these exist and that they’re used more by the military and the police for aviation work and so on.

Of course, this isn't for right away as her ears haven't pricked up yet!

I’d love to hear from anyone who has used these devices, particularly if there are any downsides.

Many thanks

    On top of that, you’ll need to get your dog used to some really powerful vibrations. You have to take the whole context into account, not just the sound.

    Hi, I think you should speak to the experts, as I’d be surprised if you find anyone with first-hand experience on here. To make it work, you'll need to get them used to wearing ear protection from a very young age. Aside from that, taking a White Swiss Shepherd to a DJ set in a crowd is quite a challenge. You’ll really need to pick the right puppy, as the breed isn't necessarily the best fit. White Swiss Shepherds are known for their sensitivity and can have a tendency to be a bit shy.
