New dog fashion trend; ear scarves?

While at the dog show on Friday, I noticed many dogs wearing a scarf-looking thing. It wrapped around their heads at the ears.
It reminded me of the scarf Barbara Eden wore in I Dream of Jeannie.

Anybody seen this yet?

What's the deal with it?

No, not like that.
These were more scarf like. And they wrapped around the head where the ears are. They did not go down the neck.
They actually looked a little loose fitting. As if they were more a fashion accessory rather than a useful piece of clothing.
I've seen them mark at shows usually spaniels have them. Probably as their ears drag stops them getting wdt and dirty
The guest is right, although the snoods here at the shows lately are more like a shower cap that covers up just the head and ears. Usually they are a glittery fabric. They keep ears from dragging in the dirt, falling in food or water and from ending up with saliva on them before a dog shows.

People probably think boots on OES are a fashion statement too. Maybe that's why Lyra's are hot pink?? :lmt:
Yep - snoods. All my basset friends use them...for obvious reason!

Thank you Dawn. They were more like that.

They are used to keep their ears clean. Dogs sniff and drag their ears, and get all nasty.
Other breeds use them too - ones with longer flowing show coats on their ears - springers, poodles, afghans and more.

They are a fabric tube, with elastic on both edges. They even come in all different sizes!
