xMeet Happy Hoodie by ZONI PETS—the Original Calming Band for dogs and cats. This American-made grooming tool was born from the needs of professional groomers and pet owners alike, offering a soothing, snug wrap that helps create a calmer environment during potentially stressful moments. Since 2008, Happy Hoodie has earned a place in grooming salons and homes, praised for its soft feel, expandable design, and practical touch that supports busy routines without sacrificing pet comfort.

What it is and how it works
The Happy Hoodie is a soft, expandable double-ply fabric band designed to cover the head and ears. Gentle compression helps reduce noise exposure, contributing to a calmer atmosphere during grooming and routine care. For best results, guide the ears down over the ear canals before securing to protect the ears while you work.
