My pup is a Belgian Malinois so she does have the pointy ears thing going on. Thinking I'll have to make it so it folds her ears down and holds them down while flying. She's 6 months old and does great flying now, but I think muffs would go a long way for her comfort and the sake of her hearing. We've taken fairly short (15-20) min trips with her. The longest being 2 hours when we flew over to pick her up, and she always seems to do fine.
Will try to get a set made in the next few days and try them out this weekend.

Didn't really work well on the Chihuahua. What I ended up doing was putting ear plugs in and then the Mutt Muffs over them to keep the dog from pulling the plugs out.

4 Paws Aviation
Check out 4PawsAviation.com. We were using a set of Mutt Muffs but switched to the 4 Paws Aviation product.
If you compare them side by side, the difference is obvious. I think I saw 4 Paws at Osh a fews years back.

Mutt Muffs just did not fit our 15 pound mixed terrier. Two years later at Sun & Fun I told a woman at the Mutt Muffs display. She said send 'em back for credit, even without a receipt, even after two years, even bought from ACS.

My Cairn Terrior would remove them at first, but decided it was better on than off.

I actually came across those while googling yesterday and ordered a set. Looks like much better than mutt muffs as far as design and materials used. In the meantime until they arrive I may still try to make my own based on the other thread.

My kids got me a pair last year for Christmas. After opening presents we had breakfast and when we returned to the living room they had already been chewed. I had not even tried to put them on the dog yet, and she never chews things, so I took that as a sign.
I fly her without ear protection because she doesn't seem to mind, and I figure she had a chance and blew it.

Thought about trying to get my Black Lab in the back to enjoy some flights... More worried about trying to get him up there, more than anything. Anything special you do to help your lab up?

Just to wrap this thread up I ended up getting the 4 Paws Aviation Muffs for my pup and couldn't be happier. Price was about the same as the mutt muffs. These are more the quality I was expecting for paying $70 for a product. They may not be perfect but they have a much better design (my opinion) on the straps. The sound deadening seems much more effective as well compared to the mutt muffs I had my hands on. Hopefully they serve well to keep my dog's hearing loss to a minimum from our flights.
