A Snood is the perfect partner for your Dogrobe.

Designed to dry your dog's head, neck and ears, provide warmth and help muffle loud noises for sound-sensitive dogs.

Two Ways To Wear A Snood

Dogrobes Snoods can be worn in two ways, and the fit you prefer will determine the size you need.

1. Hood fit - worn up over the head.

When worn like a hood, the Snood will dry wet ears, keep your dog warm and help to muffle loud noises for sound-sensitive dogs.

2. Neck buff fit - worn around the neck

When worn around the neck like a buff, the Snood will dry the neck fur. This is ideal for breeds with longer fur around the neck, such as Border Collies, Golden Retrievers and German Shepherds.

Choosing the right size

If your dog sized up in their Dogrobe due to a larger girth, choose the breed example Snood size rather than matching their Dogrobe size.

Dogs wearing Mini and Toy Dogrobes will usually wear the same size Snood regardless of whether it's being worn as a hood or a buff.

For all other size (XS to XXXL), most dogs wear the same size Snood as their Dogrobe unless they prefer to wear it as a hood - in that case size down one size.

Please remember the breed size examples are guides only. Measuring your own dog ensures the best fit.

What To Measure

If your dog will wear their Snood as a hood, you can double-check the fit by measuring the widest part of the head in front of the ears.

This helps ensure a snug fit around the head and ears.

Compare this measurement with the top rim measurement shown in the Snood Size Guide above.

  • For a hood fit the Snood should gently hug the head and ears
  • For a neck buff fit, match your Dogrobe size so it folds loosely around the neck

Measurements Explained

Use the top circumference measurement to check that the Snood will sit snuggly on the head for a hood fit - or size down from your dog's usual Dogrobe size (except MINI or TOY sizes, which stay the same).

The bottom rim measurement is for reference only. When the top rim fits the bottom rim is designed to fit comfortably.
