Hoo Rag for dogs?

Is this how it's supposed to go?
Two weeks ago I received an email from Hoo Rag asking if I'd be interested in reviewing their product. I replied and received 2 of their "Hoo Rags" just 3 days later. I was impressed with their quick response.

White and Blue Hoo and Bonedana "Dog Bandana"
 They call the "HooRag - The Better Bandana!" as it's meant to be as versatile as a bandana, but better. It's a seamless tube of microfiber fabric that can be worn as a hat, face mask, scarf, etc., they have a video on their site that demonstrates the many ways they can be worn by people.

Why me? Make Duke wear it.
Maggie was not a fan, as she doesn't even like to wear a collar in the house, but I thought it might work as a snood to cover their ears in the cold. It flopped around and was a little too loose to stay up as ear warmers, plus Maggie tried to take it off with her paws the second after I took the picture.

Seriously? I'm a boy dog, this is not an appropriate look.

 Duke didn't mind the Hoo Rag as a neck bandana, but no dice as a babushka. It seems a bit pricey for a dog bandana at $14.95, but the design is pretty versatile for people. The microfiber fabric came through the wash looking new and air dried really quickly. They have a lot of different patterns, and you can even order custom designs at a deep discount, which could be a great promotion for a shelter or rescue.

Zombie Dog must destroy all neck wear. Duke thinks it's kind of cool.

























The Mr. thinks that the blue Hoo Rag will be a great head cover for hiking and a face mask for yard work this summer. We're giving away the Bonedana dog bandana to a dog that won't be tempted to shred it the moment our backs are turned. If you're interested in the Bonedana, leave a comment below!

  2. We wouldn't like our ears covered either. Phod would likely enjoy wearing it, thinking it is handsome. Have a great day.

    1. At least the shipping is free, and some styles are $9.99. I wouldn't mind the price if Maggie wasn't a super shredder!

  5. I think you look fabulous Duke, you're an excellent doggie model!

    I think my Boomer dog might look pretty nice in that Bonedana plus it would keep his neck warm where they shaved his fur for surgery last week.

    1. He's getting cranky b/c of the lampshade he has to wear to keep him from scratching but seems to be healing up nicely. I just hope we hear something back about it soon and that it's nothing serious.

  7. We have a couple in the pack that are like your Maggie. Breeze tries to bite bandanas and Bill especially freaks out with a bandana and the sight of a collar causes him to duck his head and shake. (no, we don't know other than a vertical scar on his throat) Hiker of course thinks that bandanas make her even cuter and attract more attention!

    1. Poor Bill! Maggie isn't afraid of collars, she just shreds them. Hiker definitely has the right idea. :)

    1. Is Cody or Dakota going to model? I vote both, thought I'm not sure how a cat would wear one!

  9. That is so NOT what I thought a hoo-rag for dogs was.

    1. Ha ha ha, that's awesome! They probably should have thought about the name a little more. :)

  10. The Hoo Rag arrived today and Boomer is trying it out... I think he's going to be much more comfortable with it than his cone of shame or a regular bandana. Thanks a bunch... watch the blog though, a post is coming soon!
