Our Story

Snood Society is an ode to Benoit, our beloved Black English Cocker Spaniel.

Like many devoted dog owners, we quickly discovered that long-eared breeds face a unique set of challenges. Delicate ears are often exposed to moisture, dirt, food, and the elements, making them particularly vulnerable to irritation and infection. What began as a simple desire to provide greater comfort and protection for our own dog soon revealed a broader goal.

While searching for handmade snoods in the United States, we found the available options to be limited, often difficult to source, lacking design, or unavailable for quick domestic shipping. Inspired by a lifelong appreciation for art, fashion, and craftsmanship, and shaped by years spent studying law, pursuing creative endeavors, and living in New York City, I saw an opportunity to create something that was both purposeful and enduring. What began as a practical solution for Benoit evolved into Snood Society: a collection of handcrafted snoods that brings together elegance, functionality, and exceptional quality to our ever-growing community.

Today, every Snood Society piece is meticulously handcrafted by me in the heart of New York City. Each snood reflects a commitment to thoughtful design and careful construction, resulting in an accessory that is as refined as it is practical. We believe that products created to protect and care for our companions should never require a compromise between beauty and function.

Designed specifically with long-eared dogs in mind, but welcome to any pets with all ear lengths, our snoods help shield delicate ears from the realities of everyday life, from mealtime messes and outdoor adventures to moisture, debris, and common sources of irritation. By gently securing the ears, a snood promotes comfort, cleanliness, and freedom of movement while supporting overall ear health.

Snood Society is a celebration of the bond between people and their dogs. Everything we create is inspired by Benoit, the dog who started it all and continues to inspire every piece we make.

Thank you for allowing us to be a small part of your pet’s story.

With gratitude,

Benoit & Ariella
