DETERMINE YOUR PET'S CORRECT SIZE

IMPORTANT FYI's:
- DON'T ORDER A LARGER SIZE than listed for your dog's weight just because they have a long snout. This will result in the Headrest being too big/wide and it will fall forward on your dog's eyes!
- Long Snout Breeds (i.e. Greyhounds) typically fit ONE SIZE DOWN from their weight.
- Breed Examples that fit X-LARGE include: St. Bernard's, Bull Mastiffs, Newfoundland Hounds, etc.
- Dogs come in all shapes and sizes. If the weight is on the line or overlaps, choose the SMALLER of the two.
- We are happy to help you determine the correct size as some breeds are trickier to fit than others. Please complete the NovaGuard Sizing Help Form.

NOVAGUARD: IMPORTANT APPLICATION TIPS

Animals Want To Understand and we as pet owners know they do! We also are guilty of sometimes forgetting to explain something new to them and end up causing some preventable issues.

A Classic Example... And What You Need To Avoid:

HERE'S THE PROBLEM:
- After surgery or during the initial fitting, the dog's first logical reaction is nonacceptance of something new. A dog that wakes up from anesthetic is in pain, and if the first time they are wearing the NovaGuard on their head is after surgery, they can easily think "This is to blame for my new pain - so if I tear it off, the pain will stop!"
- They will probably have this same thought for a few days, especially when the dog also is blind and does not see what happens.
HERE'S THE ANSWER:
- Before the first fitting, give your dog time and let them sniff and rub their face against it. Tell them why it is good!
- Blind dogs: Remember that their instincts are quite heightened by something that would be new on their head. Always tell them what you're doing!
- Praise them and tell them how smart they look.
- And don't forget to give them their favorite treats as a reward for their cooperation!
IMPORTANT! When fitting the NovaGuard on your dog for the first time, make sure it is closed tight enough around the neck so the dog can not slip it off to the front! Remember - if he/she succeeds once, they will try it again and again...

NOTE: Detailed Sizing and Application Instructions are included in each order.

Important Fit and Assistance
- We strongly recommend that the NovaGuard only be worn if it fits your dog correctly.
- If needed, take several pictures with the NovaGuard on your dog: a front view and each side view while taking the pictures parallel (not up or down angles) and send them (as attachments) to info@protectivepetsolutions.com or fill out the Sizing Help Form located on the Sizing tab. We’re happy to help with fit and adjustment!
Cleaning
- Clean with a wet cloth, mild liquid soap, rinse and dry well with a soft cloth. Do NOT soak it in a solution.
Surgery / Eye Medication
- PREPARING FOR ELECTIVE SURGERY: It is optimal to have the NovaGuard ahead of time to let your dog see, sniff and apply, to get them used to it. So, after surgery, they will have reduced stress as they have learned to associate wearing it as a positive experience, including getting treats 😊!
