Hi

I'm new on here and was hoping you could help me out. I have a product called Mutts Ear Mitts, they prevent Grass Seeds and help protect the ears after injury etc. I originally had them made for Springer and Cocker Spaniels but I'm now being asked if I do them for many other breeds.

I know I'm being a little cheeky but I want to help as many breeds with long ears as possible. If you have a dog with long ears I was wondering if any of you would mind measuring your dog for me?

The measurements I need are the ear from top to bottom and width, also from the top of the head just in front of the ears, around under the throat then back up to where you started. I would really appreciate your help if possible.

Many thanks for taking the time to read this and look forward to hearing your replies.
 
Just tried to measure my Springer :D no way she said! She hates her ears being messed about with which wasn’t good when she had a seed in her ear...£300 later after a GA to remove seed :eek: might try later when hubby at home to hold onto her !
 
Oh bless her thank you for trying. The grass seed problem is exactly why I produced these, seeing how dogs suffer with them in their ears and having to have a GA is distressing for them and their owners, not to mention the cost of vets bills. If she gets too upset with her ears being touched then don't worry about trying to measure her. Many thanks for trying though.
 
I have 6month sproodle x cockapoo and he has long floppy ears..today we have had our first emergency trip to the vets due to a grass seed in his ear. Because he wouldn't let the vet look in the ear he had to be sedated and then anaesthetised as the vet needed to clip hair inside his ear so made it hard under sedation. After a hefty bill ( thanks for pet insurance) we would be interested in your product please. From top of ear to tip they are 6 inches.
 
We have a household of Cockers. At this time of year we take great care with their ears. I am lucky enough to be able to clip the hair very short on the inside and halfway down the inside of the flap. This prevents the troublesome grass seeds working their way through the long hair and directly into the ear canal. Not all grass seeds are troublesome.
At the same time we also take great care in where we walk the dogs, (if you know your grasses you will know where to avoid).
Farmers crops with Barley and wheat with ears are terrible for making their way into the dogs ears.
At this time of year we are restricting walks to safe areas only, and at the moment this is just 2 different areas. We like to give our lot a variety of walks but at this time of year we also like to take care of our our girls ears, so safe walks are quiet repetitive.

Where I am is a nightmare at the moment, all the grass verges in the streets have not been cut so are full of the grass darts and as they dry they get blown everywhere! Also all around the edges of the parks have been left 'wild' so are full of them:eek:. It is actually hard to avoid them at times so I always do a check of feet, ears and sweep the rest of body just in case! I also regularly get my dogs to 'look at me' during a walk as I had one get a dart up his nose last year and needed a vet trip and anaesthetic to get it removed... they are wicked things for sure!!
 
Grass seeds are very bad this year for sum reason the grass is not being cut in our local area cut backs I expect also big tick problem. Several of my dog friends have been removing tick from their dogs after walks. I always wipe my basset hounds ears when we get home after a walk.
