Is this product at all protective for dogs exposed to firearms? Help! I need to protect my dog.

We never tested its efficiency with firearms, but did with thunders. All in all, It is protective. But, if the dog is too much sensitive to noise (like ours), it is not enough.

We never used them with firearms, but they helped quite a bit at indoor rock concerts! However, depending on the shape of your dog's head and ears, you may not be able to adjust the straps properly to hold them in place without being uncomfortably tight. When I take my toy poodle service dog to a concert, she sits in a carrier on my lap, so it is easy for me to hold the Mutt Muffs in place. If she were on the floor and I was occupied with shooting at a range, I suspect she would shake or paw them off - depends on how tolerant your dog is to things being placed on his/her head.

I can't really answer. They didn't fit my chi properly. But they say they are made of the same protective material as for humans. So I would venture a guess yes.Good luck

Based solely on my experience with my Malinois who has developed aversions to most beeps, thunder, fireworks etc. I would have to unfortunately say no. I have gone back to my original aid which is benedryl when I know she is going to encounter something that will upset her, as well as trying positive reinforcement when she doesn't freak out by distracting her with treats. I do not believe they worked as well as the mack's earplugs that I myself use based on her reactions with them on.

is it protective at all? yes it is. however, it would be hard for the manufacturer or anyone really to get a true decibel rating. im not sure how good it would actually be. mutt muffs have pretty large holes where the straps pass through plastic. if I had to make an educated guess, these are about as protective for your dog as it would be for you to put your hands over your ears. also, remember that dogs tend to perk their ears up when they're trying to listen to something. mutt muffs force your dogs ears flat (first line of audible defense) then go around and cover the ear (second line of audible defense). for a dog that's exposed to firearms this product is the only option I've found that serves its purpose. it will require a some training sessions if your dog doesn't take to them being on his head.

no, my doggie has used it for quite a while (as have my friend's dog) and the results are always good, the do not get immune; and actually the results seem better as time goes by. I think that is because we have learned to put the shirts on them at the VERY FIRST hint of a storm, and doing that early, really helps. The problem is if you wait too long to put the shirt on, if the storm is full blown, then even with the shirt, the dogs have a hard time calming down.

Quite honestly, I have yet to set it up and actually put it on my dog! However, I would say it looks very similar to an i.d./rabies tag - and I wondered about the durability myself. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful!

It will sting the dog real good but not penatrate the skin. Same with the deer. I use mine to keep unwanted pets and critters out of my yard.

Sorry I have not used it on guns , just my backhoe, I would think it would work well on guns also but can't say I have used it for that.

so sorry that happened to you. I have been lucky enough never to had to use mine, other than the flashlight, and have used the noise of it to scare off a dog. I bought because I have other products from Guard Dog, and I love them. I assumed that they put the same quality into this product. (also ...rechargeable, cable included)

Thats funny, if you would like I can shoot my 5.56 into the vest and see what happens! You are not going to get a bullet proof vest for $38! I don't think thieves will be using an airsoft gun either.

It's a small fabric 'house' -- it would offer no protection for a dog outside. I guess it's made to take places for an inside dog who likes a little hiding spot.

What type of animal? I've only used pepper spray on two legged animals, and it works quite well. With the average dog, it should work very well. Bear? Not so sure. I'm not so certain about "pit bulls" either. Even a man can work through this if he can control his pain. A mother bear protecting her young may be more willing to suffer pain than let her cubs die. Pit bulls trained to fight may not fall for it either. Of course, you're not in safe territory in these two cases, either. Honestly, I can't swear it will work. But, a skunk does pretty well in nature, and he only stinks to high Heaven. This stuff "burns," so... Always use this as a distraction and then RUN. You may luck out and the threat go down. But, there are men who have been sprayed enough to get used to the burning and keep attacking (cops, security, and perps), so run while they are blinded/distracted and get away. Hope this helps some. Sorry about the delay, out of town and just got back.

This stuff deters a dog from nothing! You'd be better off, spraying water in their face. I have the scars to prove it!!!

I think it would be considered malicious use of a dangerous weapon on a fairly defenseless animal and you would be arrested for animal abuse. If you feel you need a stun gun to protect you from roosters then your medication dosage may need to be adjusted. As for the equipment, I turned it over to a Fed friend who took one look at it and laughed. For you who are looking for self defense against HUMANS, don't waste your money.

Yes deffinently, but I've never actually tested it. As a club no, but if you're worried about dog attack get a "pet convincer 2" I have tested this on lots of dogs. Can't hurt them but it has scared everyone of them. Just used to stop a big Lab from attacking my mini schnauzer . He had him in his mouth, sprayed him and he ran away. Then he came back but when I sprayed again he ran away before he got to close to attack.

It is a semi ridgid foam. It compress a little but gets firm if you press hard. I would say it is perfect for a pistol. I will see if I can load some pics. I believe it is the same type of foem used in life preservers.
