Anyone know where to purchase ear protection for dogs? Am told it exists, but
can't find it anywhere. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Since the dog doesnt need a mic boom, you could just use those spongy
foam hearing plugs, they drop noise about 19-20db. You can get them at
any Home Depot.

Would they really keep it on their heads?

I'm sure my dog would scratch them out in no time, I doubt he'd be at all
impressed about having plugs in his ears.
But then my dog vomits if I even drive him anywhere, I'd never even THINK
about taking him up in a chopper.

For a big dog old WWI Leather flying helmets would work. You can still get
them from vintage car accessory places.

Bit OT
Where I use to live near London in the '60s there was a couple with a
vintage supercharged four and a half litre Bentley open tourer. They had two
old English sheep dogs who sat in the back of the car. Now as this car
frequently overtook my old Jag XK120 when I was doing nearly 100mph
naturally the dogs needed eye protection. So the dogs wore Irvin flying
goggles. It was a fabulous sight to see this machine at full speed, with the
couple in front wearing white leather helmets and goggles and the dogs in
the back also with goggles, hair flying, tongues hanging out, thundering
past with the whine of the super charger often the first thing one noticed.
