Their pireps always describe the ride as "rough". LOL! Good one! Yeah, I know their bark is equally loud, but I think if I had to hear myself scream for an hour or two non-stop, it might be unpleasant for my ears, too! I know some veterinarians say it's not a worry ... my concern is more for the comfort of the dog, as clearly some handle the noise fine and some hate it, fear it, whatever. Thanks for the laugh. --Shirley |

I know some dogs would hate to wear it, feel self-conscious and all that (!!), but mine is a real Attention Brat, she loves wearing the latest thing! Seriously, she may tolerate the noise fine, but I'd feel better if I at least made some attempt to protect her ears. Thanks for posting the pic. --Shirley |

Strapping a couple of elbow pads on a dogs head is ridiculous.

You won't hurt your dogs hearing. As for the comfort level you have to handle that like anything else. You do it like trainers train hunting dogs and gunfire. You start blasting while the dog is right there you may create a gun shy dog. You have to start gradually with low noises while the dog is engaged in something else, gradually getting louder until you can fire right over your dogs head. So put the dog in the plane and taxi around at idle, gradually increasing power. Maybe a few high speed taxiis down the runway. |

... "3 out of 5 veterinarians don't recommend hearing protection for dogs in airplanes..." Well, to be fair, I have no idea what a scientifically valid survey of vets would turn up. It was three of three of vets I consulted. But it's entirely possible those are the only three vets in the world who don't recommend hearing protection. Unlikely as hell. But possible. Pete |

you got that right, and people happily spend tons of $ on their pets.
I know someone that just forked over $100 for a bark translator... Rich You know, given the number of questions this topic generates, some entrepreneur ought to be all over this..... |

"Blanche" wrote in message ... sound-deadening enclosure for your pet hm...interesting. but if it reduces the sound to a reasonable level, how would air flow be affected? Air flow would be affected, but I'm pretty sure it could be done without causing suffocation. However, to do this would likely involve rigging up a source of air directly from outside, hence the "getting out of hand" comment. I'm not the best handyman, though. Someone with decent mechanical skills might think such a thing would be a snap to build. |
