- IMPROVED DESIGN -
'BUMPER HAT' - (Protective Padded Headgear for 'Special Needs' Pets)
We are proud to introduce the improved design of our 'BUMPER HAT' (Protective Padded Headgear for 'Special Needs' Pets); specialty headgear lovingly created for dogs that are blind, have hydrocephalus, are prone to seizures, have neurological disorders, or have any other condition that could greatly benefit from having padded head protection. If your pet frequently (or even occasionally) bumps into furniture and walls, the protective casing can absorb the impact and minimize the pain.
The hat section offers two to three middle layers of protection depending on the thickness. The protective rolled casing is completely removable and could be as thick and wide as needed for extra protection. The chinstrap is nylon webbing and secures with a sturdy release buckle. In addition, we created a back strap double D-ring assembly system that loops around your pet's collar to keep headgear in place. Therefore, we recommend your pet wear a collar with this headgear. If your pet uses a harness (with measurements you provide) we can customize the strap system to hook onto an existing D-ring or loop. Optional reflective nylon webbing, reflective fabric strip or small 'BLIND' letters are available by request.
Our custom-made products are quality-hand made in the USA. Our headgear is made-to-order and can be ordered in sizes XS to XL.
If interested in our headgear we ask that you please read and accept our DISCLAIMER prior to the ordering process.

From Sherpa Hats to 'Bumper Hats' (initially called 'The Molly Project'), this is how it all began ...
MISSION PAWSABLE initially made our very first protective padded headgear/hat with two little 'special needs' doggies in mind -- MOLLY (a blind Maltese) and CODY (a Yorkie with hydrocephalus). My dear friend, Gail Zeolla and her husband Tony are the guardians of these 'special' furbabies.

About a year or so later, I received an email from Dee Dee Murry who expressed an interest in our Sherpa hat but with a special custom request for a protective section around the face for her blind Dachshund HALLIE. After thinking about her custom request, I was able to put something together for her. Had to make a few adjustments and modifications here and there to make it properly fit her.
Thus the birth of the 'Bumper Hat'!

The production of the 'Bumper Hats' was put on the back burner due to other commitments until ...
Just before the Christmas holiday, a dog trainer friend of mine (Joyce Hagan, owner of Dog Tutor LLC) contacted me regarding a project she had unrelated to the protective padded headgear. In our conversations, I learned that her dog SALSA suddenly went blind; she forwarded a video clip of her in the yard bumping into the exterior wall and I just had to make a 'Bumper Hat' for her!

Improved Design - 'BUMPER HAT' (Protective Padded Headgear).
SALSA's 'Bumper Hat' was slightly big on her and was able to paw it off. My friend, Joyce Hagan offered a wonderful suggestion to prevent that from happening. Working off her suggestion, came up with a couple of back strap systems that will keep the headgear in place. One of the strap system options is reflected in the last photo. (Great suggestion Joyce -- thanks!)
