Until recently dog hats and caps were perceived as their owners’ caprice.  And just dog-fanciers always knew that hat is not a luxury but an important protection. It protects against wind and cold, against negative impact of the environment, dirt and insects. Veterinarians are of the same opinion; today, if you buy a hat for your dog it means that you care about your tailed family member. Indeed, how can you help buying one of countless fancy caps, bucket hats, bonnets, little hats, baseball hats and head scarves? The main point is how not to loose your head with all this versatility and to choose a model your dog will wear with comfort. You can look at the collection of headwear by DogModa to see what models are at premium now.

Each breed can have its own piece of headwear. The main requirement is that the ears of the dog must keep their natural position. If a headwear shape makes the ears bow down, tightens or presses them, this model is not for your dog and it will be better to choose another one.  Everybody knows that our four-footed brothers and sisters do not like to have anything on their head. However this problem can be solved if you habituate your pet to wear a hat when it is still a puppy. But if your dog does not like a particular piece of clothing it will always refuse to wear it.

Thus, models with slots are ideal for little dogs with stand-up ears.  Little ears are free, nothing disturbs them. Headwear is necessary for flap-eared dogs. Not just a hat but a hat with pockets for their ears. Long ears hanging down almost to the floor disturb your pet. They collect dust and are exposed to insects. Well-hidden in nice pockets, they will present no problem.

In hot seasons cap peak is an essential element of headwear. They protect eyes against bright sun and the pet itself - against heat stroke. Short-snouted dogs must wear peaks because summer heat is too bad for them.

When you are choosing a Sunday-go-to-meeting model, you may be allured to buy something beautiful and posh. For example, a thing made of silk or satin. Do not deny yourself this little pleasure, but you should make sure that the little thing will rest on your pet with the help of bands and clasps because clothes made of slick fabrics tend to slide down. You should pay special attention to the bands. They must be made of soft and safe material which means they will not rub the neck and will not provoke allergy. A clasp must fit tight to the neck, but must not compress it or stifle the pet. To avoid mistakes it is necessary to measure circumferences of the dog’s head and neck.
