my old lab/golden mix gets mats behind ear ears and are really tight to her skin. this work okay for that?

It works great for that. I have a Bernese Mountain Dog, same issue. Doesn't seem to bother her at all.

It is hard to say. If you can get the tips of it between the mat and the skin I think it would work fine, but if they are too close to the skin probably not. Sorry I know that is vague. It works great on schnauzer hair.

NO! This matt is super thin. hardly any "gel" in the matt. the gel disperses when the dog lays on it, so he is basicly lying on the floor beneath. there for the heat wicking ability is nil. the matt was never any cooler than the floor, and my dogs never particularly seeked it out. always the tile, or concrete. the ones that have to best tendancy if little help are the water filled ones providing your dogs arent scratchers or chewers otherwise you have a mess. id say in your transport case deal, get a small battery operated fan and strap it right to cage!

This should work for you if you use the female garment. My dog did #2 by accident a few times and it stayed inside completely. Might want to develop a liner of some sort, was messy to clean. Try and find a holistic vet who could possibly help with this problem from a nutritional/herbal angle. Not familiar with this problem but often diet change, detox and immune boosting can help the body heal. Www.healmypet.com

How are your pet ears? I bought a midium size for my spaniel breton with floppy ears and I think the big size would have been a better choize. (he is about 20 kilos smaller than a labrador retriever) I use to put his ears inside the cups but anyhow they dont fit perfectly, but he can hear less this way. Thus is his ears made the first layer and then the cup...I ordered them delivered to Spain so I didnt give them back but I am sure the big side would help my dog much more against fireworks

I do not have a dog so I do not know the answer. But I would suggest going to your nearest pet store like a Pet Supermarket and ask them, they probably will have the best answer and maybe will have a product available that will solve your problem.

You would have to get it tight enough. We used it on one of our dogs who had a ton of extra skin around his neck and what I did was pull apart the folds and place it between them. If your dog is sensitive, it may work just fine on top of his wrinkles. Hope this helps.

Yes. The key is to make sure he can feel it through his fur first. We have a large lab and has thick fur, so I tightened it and made sure it was up under his jaw/ear after he felt the first couple zaps and associated the beeps now it can be loose all he has to hear is the beeps and he backs off.

Yes, it will work good for her. I use it on a similar size adult dog. You may have to trim her hair near where the collar touches her neck.

Yes you can. The product maintains a cool temperature regardless of the dog laying directly on the mat. Just as it cools dogs with long fur or thick undercoats. However, the mat is cool, not cold, so layers would decrease the amount of cool relief the dog would experience.

hello, i got my dog the bigger vest. i didn't want it to be tight after meals. also if he gets heaver, it sure should fill better then tightcheryl

I would say yes. The grooves are at most an inch deep, and our lab mix really only uses her tongue.

I received two sets of contacts. One was approx 3/4 of an inch the other approx an inch, tip to tip. If your dog has a thick or long coat the longer ones should work. Our Shepard has long thick fur around the neck and it works for him, just keep it snug.

It should keep him from reaching his front elbows, I would think, because it's totally stiff. It would depend on your dog, though, and how he's built. I just found that my dog was miserable with this collar and developed infected ears from the collar pushing his ears shut. It had been fitted at the vet's office, so I don't think it was a problem with fit, just the nature of the collar. I actually think the dog is better off and more comfortable with the traditional e-collar.

Thanks for asking, Angele. You put a few drops in your dog's ear -- just enough so that you can see it. Then you massage the area under the ear gently for a minute or so. (Most dogs really like this part.) Then you dampen a cotton ball or some gauze with a couple drops more, sort of wrap it around the tip of your finger, and swab out the area your finger reaches. If your dog's ears are REALLY dirty, you might need to do that again. For many (probably most) dogs, great results will be immediate. For others, doing this for 2-3 days will do the trick. After that, just clean your dog's ears regularly, the same way you do with baths and such, and you and your pal will both be delighted.

yes, your dog should have no problem with it.... you may also want to use bitter apple on his fur

It might. The idea of the wrap is to relieve anxiety, and the test results are pretty impressive. It helps our dog who gets frightened by gunshots and thunder. Even though the source of the anxiety is different, the goal is the same. I'd give it a try.

Don't know if that will be a problem. This is not designed as a pet garment. Might be uncomfortable for long time wear. It's not a very soft material. It is tightly woven to be durable. Plus there are lift handles which hang when not in use that may awkward when not in use. I have a very tolerant large dog and I would never consider leaving him in a harness for any longer than needed to get in and out of car or to move him as needed.
