A TailUp cap. We did not make this one.

The logo on the front says TailUp, because TailUp made it. We could have cropped that out of the photograph and hoped you did not notice. Instead: this is somebody else's cap, we chose it, and here is why.

Most dog caps are floppy. This one has a stiffened peak that actually holds its shape, which is the only part that matters โ€” a dog squinting into a four o'clock glare needs shade over the eyes, not a soft brim folding onto his forehead. Two ear holes and an adjustable chin strap under the jaw.

โ—ˆ Structured peak, not a floppy brim
โ—ˆ Ear holes and an adjustable chin strap
โ—ˆ Made by TailUp โ€” branded as theirs, sold by us

What it does not do

It is not sun protection. It shades the eyes and the top of the head. The nose, the ear tips and any pink skin on the back are still exposed, and those are the places that burn first.

Your dog will shake it off. Probably on the first walk. The chin strap slows that down, it does not prevent it. Some dogs never accept a hat at all, and thirty days is long enough to find out.

We have not confirmed the sizing or colours yet. Ask before you order and we will measure one and tell you.

PS
Why this one is on the site
The logo says TailUp, because TailUp made it. We did not crop it out of the photograph. We chose this cap because the peak is stiffened and actually holds its shape, which is the only part that matters.

How do I use it?

Short tries first, somewhere he is calm.

  1. Put his ears through the two ear holes.
  2. Fasten the chin strap under the jaw, snug but not tight.
  3. Keep the first few wears short and reward him for leaving it on.

Sizing

Measure, do not guess. Where a product has sizes, the chart is in the description above, with the exact measurement each size is based on. If your animal falls between two sizes, message us before ordering rather than after.

Delivery

We ship anywhere in South Africa. Rates and timeframes are on the shipping page. Made-to-order items are produced after you order, so they take longer than the rest of the range.

Returns

Faulty or damaged is on us, including the return postage. Change of mind is covered on the returns page. Personalised items cannot be returned for change of mind, which is why we confirm the spelling and size with you in writing first.

What we do not claim

Nothing we sell treats, prevents or cures anything. These are aids, not veterinary care. Where we have not measured something ourselves, the description says so rather than repeating the supplier's word for it.

Shade over the eyes

A dog squinting into a four o'clock glare needs a peak that stays up, not a soft brim folding onto his forehead.

A peak that holds its shape

Most dog caps are floppy. This one has a stiffened peak that stays where it should.

Ear holes and a chin strap

Two ear holes and an adjustable strap under the jaw keep it on his head for longer than a loose hat would.

Returns

What size is it?

We have not confirmed the sizing yet. Ask before you order and we will measure one and tell you.

Will it protect him from sunburn?

No. It shades the eyes and the top of the head. The nose, ear tips and any pink skin are still exposed.

What if my dog will not wear it?

Some dogs never accept a hat. If it is unused and in its packaging, you have 30 days to return it.

How long does delivery take?

2 to 4 working days to most South African addresses, dispatched from Cape Town. You get a tracking number when the parcel is collected, not when the order is placed.

What if it is wrong when it arrives?

Tell us within 30 days and we will sort out a return on anything unused and in its packaging. No restocking fee. Personalised items are the exception, which is why we confirm the spelling with you first.

Are these vet recommended?

No. We will not put those words on a page without a named, consenting, registered vet who has actually reviewed the product, and we do not have one. Nothing here treats, prevents or cures anything. A distressed animal needs a vet, not a product page.
