While most show dog's start wearing snoods from a young age pet dogs often need a little encouragement to keep it on the first few times. Never use a snood that is to small, as being too tight will cause discomfort to your dog. It should fit snugly without causing any pressure on your dog's head or neck. The head elastic sits just in front of the dogs ears, at the back of the skull and the neck end should sit about ¾ down the neck or about where a standard flat collar would – depending on the snood type and dog breed. The dog snood fits over the head and neck. Size is based on head circumference taken just front of the ears. * more than one size has been ordered for this breed.Snood sizes are approx and refer to the un-stretched elastic.Breed size examples above are from previous orders and should be used for guidance only, please measure your dog.Toy breeds, Maltese, Miniature Dachshund, Lhasa Apso, ToyĬavalier King Charles Spaniel, Mini Poodles, Miniature Schnauzer, Pekingese, Shih TzuĪmerican Cocker, Beagle, Bichon Frise, English Cocker Spaniel, Gordon Setter (puppy)*Īfghan Hounds, Basset Hounds*, Briard, English Setter*, Gordon Setter*, Irish Setter, Irish Water Spaniel, Welsh Springer Spaniel, English Springer Spaniel, Standard Poodleīasset Hounds*, Bracco Italiano, English Setter*, Golden Retriever, Gordon Setter*, Rhodesian Ridgeback, Saint Bernard *** NB Although referred to in the dog community as "waterproof" these snoods are made from parker nylon so are in fact only "showerproof"
