Anybody try these one a dutch shepherd or german shepherd that has pointed ears? Does it bother them have their ears bent-down underneath the muff?

Our dog is a German Shepherd with pointed ears. He doesn't seem to be bothered by it at all. He doesn't try to remove the Mutt Muffs. They took a little getting used to at first. Now he wears his Mutt Muffs whenever we wear our ear protection.

I don't think it bothers them, i had them on my Shepard mix but I didn't leave them on too long as they didn't really work for him (he ist terrified of fireworks and that is why i got them, but they didn't help.

I stopped using mine in favor of klipsh which is redesigned to embed deep in ear and doesn't require the around ear support of the B&W.; There is no distortion except when pulling the wires on something abrasive, lke a zipper.

I use them for my Belgian Shepherd and the other for my Dobie mix. They work well for them.

I called up the manufacturer because my dog ate some of the ear bud tips. They sent me a bunch at no charge. My best guess is that they'll work with you. Regarding the sound deterioration, I haven't yet had that problem although I've been using mine for about a year. I have found that minuscule amounts of water in your ears end up inside the ear buds and destroy especially the lows. Putting moisturizer in my ears before a swim keeps a tight seal.

My dog is short-haired and very active, and the nail caps don't seem to bother or impede her in any way! I would imagine they would bother my other dog quite a bit, because he will not tolerate any contact with his paws. That's probably a better indicator of whether the caps would bother your dog.

You should ask the seller, about size diff. I've only seen the medium. I use the medium on a 65 lb Shepard, with approx. 4" tall ears. The muffs look small, but when I fold the dogs ears they fit snug. It took some time to get them adjusted, and use to them, But after that she would sleep with the muffs on. As for as how good they work?? I think their a little over priced. The color is a paint job, not a plastic color. Dogs hearing is a lot better than ours. She can still hear a whisper across a 20 foot room. hoped this helps /Steve

I don't think so, however, I would ask your local Vet. He/she could tell you how sensitive their eardrums are.

I use banded low profile ear pro , it works have not used large muffs ( like air line ramp guys) the style I use is on a band with plug that fits in ear this option for me is better as the pro is always around my neck when not in use give this option a try you will find you will use pro more ? Hope this helps

No. The ears are dry and I don't see how they could spoil, unless left in a damp place where they can collect mildew. I order in bulk for a cheaper price and it takes months to use them up and the dogs love em til the last one. Veteranchuck

hi, I don't remember seeing this... *But be warned of the possibilities of it not working :( We have a dog that lives next door that makes us so miserable with his barking.... Every time the dog barked .... I also heard a HIGH PITCHED sound inside the house that was killing my ears!

I disagree here. The earpieces do swivel on the curved headset piece. Quite a bit of swivel from top to bottom and a bit from side to side. They adjust nicely to fit your head.

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 have a 125 lb Rottweiler and we bought him XL. They fit him great, but his head would be a bit more 'square' than a Shepherd. I would check the recommendations on the Mutt Muff website, they seem pretty accurate.

They might. I've given a couple of them away to friends and they seem to like them. If you have small ears then they might put too much pressure on the ears and feel a bit of discomfort

The padding is a tight oval so unless you are an elf with thin pointed ears they will lie ON the ears and not AROUND them. I just returned mine because of this and because the first answer to this question said over ear which they are NOT. Other then that seemed like a good product.

I haven't had any problems. If you plan on a lot of on and off wear with abrubt tossing down then I wouldn't buy them. They have swivel fold ear pieces that may be a problem for someone that continuously takes them on and off or sets them in a place not safe from being squashed, like a couch.
