What are dog hats for?

Dogs can celebrate their birthday with a hat

A hat for dogs not only serves to keep your pet in the latest fashion or to be the cutest in the park, they also have a lot of functions, especially those related to protection against meteorological phenomena.

  • Firstly, hats represent great protection against the cold, especially if they are made of wool. Remember that if you live in a more or less temperate climate it is not necessary to put a hat on it, however, in very low temperatures, or with the presence of snow, a hat will help to keep your dog warm. As the grandmothers say, to avoid colds you have to keep your feet and head warm!
  • In second place, hats are very useful in cases of heat, although in this case it would be better to call them caps, since to be able to fulfill their function correctly they have to have a visor. Thus, not only the dog's head is protected from the sun and heat, but also the eyes, since, as in the case of humans, the cap avoids UVA rays.
  • Last but not least, waterproof caps and hats are a great idea for when you take your dog out on a rainy day, since thanks to the wing (especially if they are a fisherman) the water will not enter your eyes, which will make you feel more comfortable.

How to choose the best hat for your dog

Dog hats protect them from the sun in summer

Choosing a hat can be cumbersome (sorry, the pun is irresistible), that's why these tips can be useful:

  • Choose the size well. Okay, it is a basic, but it is easy that with the excitement of buying a new tiara for Cujo you forget to measure his head so that it fits well and does not fall or squeeze him. Watch with each model, since the measurements may vary.
  • Think about what you are going to use it for. You will not need the same type of hat if it rains, that if it is cold as if it is very sunny. As we said above, for the cold nothing like a wool hat or other warm material; for the sun, a cap with a visor and breathable fabric, and for the rain, a fisherman's hat or with a visor made of waterproof fabric.
  • Bet on the comfort of your dog. For this, it is not only recommended that you look closely at the size, but also at other elements, for example, if the fabric is made of an itchy material or the closure, which can be a rubber strip that closes below the chin, velcro, or string with a plastic closure. Hats with ear holes are also highly recommended, as they are more stable and comfortable.

Tips to get used to your dog

A wool hat goes well for winter

Some dogs accept all kinds of accessories and it even seems that they are natural models, however, others It is difficult to accept an element that they see foreign. To get used to them:

  • Make sure that the size is correct so that the hat is as comfortable as possible. The more stable it is (without tightening, of course), the better they will support it.
  • Let the first time, before putting it on, smell and examine it for familiarity.
  • Put it on some few minutes each day to get used to it.
  • If finally there is no way, do not force it. If you are concerned about the sun, you can opt for other accessories (such as sunglasses for dogs) or even sunscreen for pets. You can also try to avoid the hours of hottest, cold or heavy rain.
