I see nothing "for sale", just lots of anecdotal remedies that various
pilots/hunters have tried. You've probably already found references to
training them from puppies to wear foam earplugs, and that's about the best
suggestion I've found. Certainly better than stuffing cotton in their ears
and then wrapping their head with an ace bandage.

Only other thing I could think of would be to construct some sort of
sound-deadening enclosure for your pet, but that's getting out of hand.

There probably hasn't been enough research into hearing loss in pets to make
a call one way or another about how harmful exposure to a/c noise may or may
not be, but obviously if your pet can't stand the noise it isn't a good
thing. (Although it may be the "type" of noise, and not necessarily the
loudness).

You know, given the number of questions this topic generates, some
entrepreneur ought to be all over this.....

Good luck.

Does anyone know where to purchase ear protection for dogs being taken in
single-engine airplanes? It supposedly exists, but I haven't been able to
locate it. Would appreciate any/all help.
