common sizing questions
what if my pup is in between sizes?
We recommend sizing up for the best comfort and fit.
what if my dog has lots of fluffy fur or a thicker neck?
Size up or try our furfect fit adjustment (below).
will the hat fit if my pup’s ears stand straight up?
Yep! All our styles have flexible backs that work for upright ears. The Baseball style has a narrower profile, which can be a great fit for pups with upright ears.
Furfect Fit Adjustment
For extra fur or bigger ears and necks
Just remove the side toggles on the chinstrap to give extra room for your pup’s fur, ears, or neck!
Putting on a PupLid
How to ensure proper sun shading:
A proper fit keeps the PupLid snug and stable, so the bill stays in place above your pup’s eyes.
