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.

I do apologize Rod T but I am not sure. I will say that my Daughter in Russia used it for her wilderness training. It did help. I am from Minnesota and want a good product for her. I simply do not know if it is water-repellant and to what degree that infers but if you do find a great product please let me know. I am retired Military and will relocate to Minnesota. I spoke with my Daughter and she said it was not warm enough. Please let me know what you find so I can make a good purchase here in the near future. Thanks

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.

I would recommend that you contact the manufacturer to pose that question.I can only say that the product really helps my dog and was okayed by our vet.

I have one if these scabbards, I use it on my saddles when riding horses, use it on my quad 4 wheelin, and use it to store my weapon of choice behind my truck seats. It's a great protector case and very versatile. If ya all need it for a quick draw then its also able to shorten the length of it so more rifle butt sticks out the top of it. If that's not fast enough for ya, don't put yourself in any situation where ya should of taken yur gun out yesterday.... Ha haAwesome product!!!!!

It's not comfortable without padding. You'll need to purchase a thick crate pad or something similar. On a side note, if your dog is an escape artist, you'll need to back up the flimsy locks with something from your local hardware store. My staffie mix broke the locks the first hour he was in it. Aside from that, it's been a great investment.

From everything i found, and after using it for about a year... there is no damage to dogs, no weird sounds to humans, and it is a miracle worker..... Just... DONT LET IT GET WET. Seems to have a problem being left out in the elements but if you put something like a piece of plastic over it you should be fine.

I would say no, I purchased vetGuard for dogs at Sams club due to being out of frontline, at same time purchased the frontline for my 2 cats. I am on second month of apps and my 2 cats are flea free, but my dog, is still covered in flee droppings and fleas. I am a life long pet owner and have never used a product that has worked so badly on my dog. Im sticking to frontline.

It does not say water proof. It says use every two weeks. Instructions say. Treatment. Is four squeezes of the trigger per pound. You must weigh your dog first

Yes, it does have a plastic coating to protect firearms. However, like I think I said in an earlier comment, I would not buy these again. They are flimsy and I think of generally poor quality. I would have bought the heavier plastic racks if I could have found them, but having seen the better ones since I bought these, I think they are still available and I'd look harder next time.

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)

I have no idea. Two suggestions/recommendations - First contact the manufacturer and ask them your question. Surely they would havesome idea of its effectiveness; Two, if you choose to carry dog repellent, have a secondary choice to use if the spray fails...a stun gun or something like that might be helpful. One last thing, ask those who manufacture this substance what they would use for a coyote? Best of luck.

My dog and I were both attached a couple of times. I have a small dog so I picked her up and sprayed the other dog, he retreated and I got away. The sad part about this was that the owner of the dog pretended not to see the attack and ran inside his house leaving his dog in the middle of the street. I wish I had the chance to pepper spray the owner too ;) But yes, it's safe just keep yourself and your dog away.

tuck in your shirt and wear underwear and that's not really an issue. Also, this is why handguns have tennifer coatings, to avoid rust. If a little sweat is going to break your gun, I certainly wouldn't trust my life to a gun that poorly made. I've done far worse things to my rifles and handguns in training than sweat on them a little.

Fortunately, I have not had to discharge mine. I use it when I walk my GSD as there are two other dogs in the neighborhood with aggressive energy and I carry this as a deterrent as well as a security for myself should one of those dogs jump the face and an altercation ensue. Maybe discharge it toward a tree or bush once so that you can see first hand how it responds when sprayed. Then let me know. Best to you~
