Product Information

Some noted that the chin strap doesn’t always stay clasped properly allowing the dog to shake or pull the hat off. The pet owner hat is adjustable with a Velcro closure so should fit most people.

Consider the materials with which the hat is made. Plastic is probably the least environmentally sensitive choice, unless a hat is so poorly made that you’ll need to throw it away after one or two uses. Look for well made products. Dogs are likely less bothered by cotton or fleece fabrics that are also easy to spot clean. High quality doggie hard hats are typically made of high impact plastics, typically the same used in construction level hard hats. Does your dog’s ear’s stand up? No problem. The interior padding used in well made dog helmets is designed with a pup’s ears in mind, so that they don’t rest flat on the dog’s head. In addition, most helmets come with customizable foam pads that fit comfortably between the ears, instead of over them. This feature keeps the helmet from forcing the ears to lay flat on the head. Dog helmets also include a chin strap that’s adjustable. Sizing

Ear holes mean your dog will still hear well and hopefully they’ll be less likely to try to pull it off. It can hang dry like any hat between uses and if it gets dirty, you can spot clean or machine wash inside out on the gentle cycle with cold water. It’s especially good for white and albino breeds who are prone to sunburn. They also sell matching bandanas, vests, harnesses, mat and boots with the same cooling design. Originally, hats were worn by dogs to protect their eyes. Dogs’ eyes are very sensitive to light and dog hats provide needed protection in bright conditions,” Reed told The Spruce Pets. “However, toppers can still provide protection for dog’s ears from frostbite in the colder, winter months. Most pet owners use hats as a fashion statement or an accessory to their dog’s wardrobe, especially in the colder months.” This piece was written by Lorraine Wilde who has had at least dog and two cat companions in her home for the past 35 years.

The Pawaboo Owner and Dog Baseball Cap Set comes as a pair of matching hats, one for your dog and one for you! These hats are made from soft, breathable cotton and they’re nice looking too.

We like the Pawaboo Owner and Dog Baseball Cap Set because it’s actually two hats, one for you and one for your dog, so you can look cute together. This cotton hat is breathable and comes in three adorable colors. In the wintertime, we also like Canada Pooch Polar Pom Pom Hat for warmth and lovable style. What To Look for in Dog Hats As with most hats in our list, these should only be hand washed. They are great for every day but they can also be used as part of costumes for holiday and birthdays. The best part: PupLid offers all of these designs for humans too, so you can match or complement each other. Dog helmets are ideal for pets that need to have protection from minor head traumas, are visually impaired, or have any disability that causes them from bumping into things. Blind dogs in particular become frustrated when they bump into things. Dog helmets help these pets regain the confidence they need as they explore their world without injury. If you have a dog that suffers from seizures that often falls down as a result of an illness, injury, or disability, protecting their head will play a pivotal part of their healing. Designed with Your Dogs Comfort and Safety in Mind Dogs don’t have sweat glands so they can’t cool themselves by sweating like humans do. They pant instead. But in the peak of summer, or when you’re on vacation in warm climes, this functional cooling hat will help keep the sun out of their eyes and prevent them from overheating. It uses the same principle as your air conditioner—evaporative cooling—to keep your dog refreshed. Simply wet the hat before placing it on your dog and then monitor its dampness. The fabric retains water so the cooling lasts while the mesh shell allows air circulation.Your dog will like the ear holes that allow them to hear well and move their ears as usual. You can adjust the angle of the dog’s hat using the adjustable chin strap. Do measure your dog’s head according to the manufacturer instructions and use the table to make sure you get the right size.

When choosing your dog hats, be sure to consider fit, materials, function, and whether your dog will wear it.
