All about this product

Product description

After ear surgery or when dealing with an aural haematoma, a standard cone can feel like more of a punishment than a help. The MPS Head Cover is an alternative that fits snugly over your dog's head to protect wounds and hold ear bandages in place — without restricting movement or causing the distress a cone often does.

The patented breathable design keeps air circulating, and two internal pockets near the ears hold the supplied pad insert (and separately available replacement pads) for extra cushioning. It goes on and off easily, can be machine washed and reused, and is available in five sizes from X-Small through to X-Large, so there's a fit for every breed. One pad is included.

  • Comfortable, breathable alternative to a cone
  • Protects head wounds and holds ear bandages in place
  • Ideal for aural haematomas and post-surgical ear care
  • Internal pockets for Head Cover Pads (1 pad included)
  • Machine washable and reusable
  • 5 sizes: X-Small to X-Large
  • Vet recommended

Who it's for: Cocker Spaniels, Basset Hounds, Labradors, Golden Retrievers, and any dog recovering from ear surgery or managing an ear condition.

Why we chose it

After ear surgery or with a haematoma, a cone feels like a punishment for something the dog did not do. This fits over the head instead, holding a bandage in place and letting air through. Five sizes, washable, and vets recommend it.

— Matt, founder
