Endorsed by Roger Mugford
We are really proud to have received this endorsement from Dr Roger Mugford former CEO of Company of Animals:-
Our neighbours this evening threw a fireworks party, the perfect scenario for testing the Snood that you kindly sent to me after PATS.
The effects have been quite remarkable: I can “manage” Dave’s fears easily, take it off when there are no bangs, “on” when they resume. He (Dave the dog) almost “asks” to have it fitted when the fireworks start, to take it off when they stop.
I really like this interactive element to our joint management of his fears, (which despite my previous many efforts , remain extreme under previous firework bangs).
So thank you Della for devising a very clever solution to a massive problem and that causes so much suffering to dogs and by association , to their people.
Best
Roger

Having struggled for years with my rescue spaniel I was thrilled to discover Pips Bootique and the Anti-Panic Snood.
Wiggle was terrified of loud noises- thunderstorms and fireworks were a nightmare for her, I tried several different anxiety supplements and also stronger prescription medicines which had minimal effect to calm her down.
I contacted Della, discussed Wiggle’s severe noise-phobia issues and she gave me clear measuring, fitting and ordering advice. I was slightly sceptical but felt I was running out of options. The snood arrived promptly, and I spent several days acclimatising Wiggle to wearing the snood prior to the fireworks starting. The first night of the fireworks, the effect was remarkable, within 10-15 minutes she had stopped shaking and panting and was lying quietly next to me on the sofa. The more we used the snood the quicker the results became, and she would settle within minutes.
I recommend the Anti-Panic Snood to any clients with nervous or noise-phobic dogs as a natural and effective alternative to medications.

I first came across the Anti Panic Snood back in 2021 and as a full time professional trainer it was instantly very clear how this could help dogs primarily with a fear of thunder, fireworks or similar loud noises. One of my own dogs would get very distressed with fireworks, as do so many, so I ordered one for him and couldn't believe the difference it made - instead of panting and shaking he was snoozing and relaxed! I did spend time prior to get him used to wearing it, pairing it with something positive over short periods. I have recommended them to a number of clients with similar problems and found them to be a simple but effective solution. I also believe they could be used to help calm dogs in other scary situations and as a non invasive, drug free option it really is a no brainer! Add to that a speedy and extremely helpful service, it is highly recommended.
