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.

OMG YES! We had a 'FENCE CLIMBER!' and the very first time he got zapped? It rocked his World. He didn't know WHAT hit him! I cowered in his kennel for 2 days. Then he tried it again. ZAP! Again...cowered a day in his kennel. After that? We left it on for a week, then disconnected it. He had ZERO desire to hop that fence. If you are going to use it for coyotes, I'd leave it on 24/7 due to them roaming and you're not going to be able to teach just one that is place is 'Off limits'. Would I recommend this product? YES!!!

Never used it on dogs. I keep dog spray. One shot to the face keeps them away.

The protective plastic coating seems to adequate to protect the firearm finish from damage...providing the user quickly learns to roll the firearm away from the magnetic connection. The connection is strong and I do not know if the coating would continue to protect the forearm finish over time if a user roughly "jerked" the firearm away form the magnetic holster. After a few "proper" practice removals of the firearm from the holster, I am not concerned damage to the firearm finish. I would purchace another one.

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.

I don't recommend this product. I bought it and used it once. There is no way to really secure it. My Doberman just ignored it. She was too smart for it. A couple of passes and it was done and my Doberman is not a distructive dog. Maybe if you can cobble up some way to secure all four corners it might work for you. There must be something else out there that has a better chance of working. Good luck..

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~

YES,YES AND YES! I have one if these and had I not had it...my dogs would be dead!Have used it several times and it works. Do not be afraid to use it. Police were called each time my dog was attacked by Pitts. They told me to keep using it.Anyone who walks their dog and doesn't carry protection is going to wish they had if your dog is attacked.CindyNorolk, Va.

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.

no one ever advised me of any risk... my dog drinks and eats... The one thing I do caution people is please don't use the shock but one short press... My poor little dog did a flip the first time I used it... and I was trying to be careful because I used it on myself first so I knew how it hurts... and it does hurt... I've had to use the shock a total of 4 times... and then I was using the vibrate when needed... Its been quite some time since I needed to do any thing but say, Girl... come on over here to me... you're getting further than I want you... stuff like that... she understands there can be a consequence so I don't have to do anything else but be there... so please be kind in your use of the shock function and don't use it more than you absolutely have to.

I bought 2 Pet Protector discs for both of my dogs in March. I live in Michigan and have had terrible luck preventing fleas with any type of medications I have tried. Both dogs, a beagle and a dachshund, have had no fleas or ticks since March. I am not using any other form of Flea and Tick medicine or prevention

I honestly could not tell you. I bought this for an 80 lb. dog thinking it was for training not an anti-bark device. My device has never been used. If you make me an offer I'd be more then happy to sell you mine. You see because of the aerosol can Amazon will not take it back.

Hello there! The product has a decidedly peppery smell, very strong. Unless your dog actually came into contact with an amount it could ingest I doubt it would hurt them. If you are spraying it on surfaces where it will evaporate and dry there is no way it will do any harm. Best of luck!

Without a doubt. I've used for many rounds. I can't detect any damage whatsoever. The plastic or polymer they are made of seems to withstand a lot. Construction in my mind is top notch; the clip is holding strong, and it does not seem like anything will catch or tear off.

Come on people, you can't be that stupid. It CLEARLY states pistol rack NOT a gun safe. Look at the pictures, read, understand and figure it out.

Boy, that's a good question...it is tough stuff. I use it in my shop and have dropped any number of heavy tools and part on it without damage. I have also spilled any number of solvents, lubricants and cleaners on it without damage. But dog nails? I just don't know.

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.
