Overview

["Petvolve markets this as the Upgraded version of its noise protection ear muffs, adding adjustable straps on top of the same 35 decibel noise reduction rating and over-the-head, hook and loop fit used in the standard model. It comes in a black and silver gray colorway rather than the standard's black and gray.", "Priced the same as the standard version at $55.99, the upgrade doesn't come at an added cost, but it also hasn't translated into a higher rating so far. Both versions sit well above the price of the liquid cleaners and wipes in this category, reflecting that they're a different kind of wearable product entirely.", "This version has 30 reviews averaging 4.4 stars, a larger sample than the standard version's 19 reviews, but a lower average. Around 400 units were reportedly bought last month, matching the standard version's pace."]

Pros

  • Adjustable straps added on top of the same 35 decibel noise reduction rating
  • Larger review sample than the standard version (30 vs 19)
  • Same price as the standard version, so no added cost for the upgrade
  • Reusable wearable rather than a consumable liquid or wipe

Cons

  • 4.4 star average is lower than the standard version's 4.8 stars
  • Priced well above the liquid cleaners and wipes in this category
  • No listed sizing guidance, so fit isn't guaranteed for every dog's head shape

Performance notes

The adjustable strap feature is layered onto the same over-the-head, hook and loop fit and 35 decibel noise reduction rating as the standard Petvolve model, aimed at giving a more customizable fit rather than changing the core noise blocking approach.

What buyers say

With 30 reviews averaging 4.4 stars and roughly 400 units bought last month, feedback is decent but trails the standard version's 4.8 star average, so it's worth weighing whether the adjustable strap feature matters enough to offset the slightly lower rating.

Frequently asked questions

What's different about the "Upgraded" version?

The listing highlights adjustable straps added to the same 35 decibel noise reduction rating and over-the-head, hook and loop design used in Petvolve's standard version.

Does the upgrade come with a better rating?

Not currently. This version averages 4.4 stars across 30 reviews, while Petvolve's standard version averages 4.8 stars across 19 reviews, so the added strap feature hasn't translated into a higher score yet.

Will my dog tolerate wearing this?

That depends on the individual dog. Any over-the-head ear covering takes some getting used to, so introducing it gradually and pairing it with positive reinforcement is worth considering regardless of which version you choose.
