Subject:Re: Hearing protectors for pets?

You know what people? I really wasnt looking for a discussion on the relative
merits of providing a pet with hearing protection in a GA airplane when I posted
this question. Its obvious that everyones got their own opinions on whether
or not its necessary.

What I was, and still am, looking for is simply information on whether or not
such protection exists, and if so, who makes it and/or carries it? So, does it
exist?
