Hi Ted, In the good ole' days, I used to fly with my dog a lot. Then, my vet, who was a pilot, told me the dog's ears are much more sensitive to sound than ours are and that I should never fly with them in the plane. I stopped cause I didn't want to hurt the dog. When Mutt Muffs came out, I read the research and was happy to protect the hearing of those I love. Now, as for my wife? I told her she doesn't need a headset. hee hee hee Matt

only complains I've gotten have been from rapid descents or turbulence, but so long as the flights are smooth and descents are in the 500-700 fpm range, they seem happy.
I have friends who use Mutt Muffs for their dogs and say the dogs love it. I would agree, it seems like a good idea.
Dogs are generally better passengers than humans. :-)
