VC45 Cat Grooming Hood in Breathable Mesh with Transparent Front Panel and Adjustable Drawstring

VC45 is a cat grooming hood in grey open-weave mesh with a clear front panel. The hood wraps the whole head, the clear panel keeps the cat’s field of view, and a drawstring with a cord lock closes the back of the head so the fit can be set to the individual cat. It is supplied in two neck sizes and is worn for the short periods of handling that come up around grooming, nail trimming, bathing and coat care. Built for wholesale, OEM and private label programmes.

Product Overview

VC45 is a handling hood for cats. The hood slides over the head and encloses it, ears included, while a clear panel sits over the eyes so the cat keeps its field of view. A drawstring with a cord lock closes at the back of the head and sets the opening to the individual cat. The body is a grey open-weave mesh, so air moves through the fabric rather than building up under it.

The hood is used for the short, close handling that cats often resist: coat brushing, nail trimming, bathing, ear and eye cleaning, and transport into and out of a carrier. It gives the handler one less thing to manage at the moment the cat is being held, and it keeps the head away from the hands and forearms.

Sizes and Fit

Two neck sizes are produced. Size S is listed for a neck circumference under 28 cm and a suggested cat weight of 1.5 to 4 kg. Size M is listed for a neck circumference under 33 cm and a suggested cat weight of 3 to 7.5 kg. The supplier sizes the hood on neck circumference, face length and weight together, and advises taking the larger size when a cat sits between the two. The drawstring then takes up the remaining slack at the back of the head.

No age range, breed list or head-length limit is stated by the supplier, so none is published here. Measure the neck where the drawstring sits and check the fit on the cats you intend to handle.

Design and Construction

The body is a single piece of open-weave mesh cut to wrap the whole head. The mesh is the reason the hood stays usable in warm weather: air passes through the open cells instead of collecting under the fabric. The front panel is a clear TPU sheet set into the mesh at eye level. It keeps the cat’s field of view open, which matters when the cat is being moved or held, and it keeps loose hair and water off the face.

The drawstring runs around the neck opening and closes with a plastic cord lock. It is the only adjustment on the product. Slack taken up at the back of the head keeps the hood in place during lifting and brushing without pulling across the face.

Where It Is Used

The hood is used wherever a cat needs close handling for a short period: brushing and de-shedding, nail trimming, bathing and drying, ear and eye cleaning, medicating, and moving a cat in or out of a carrier. Grooming salons, veterinary clinics, catteries and pet retail stores use it as a handling aid at the point where a cat is most likely to strike out with teeth or front claws.

Responsible Use

VC45 is a handling aid. It is not a muzzle, not a restraint device, not a medical device and not a treatment for any condition. It does not stop a cat from biting through the mesh and it makes no bite-proof, escape-proof or veterinary claim. Put it on only for the short period the task takes, keep the cat supervised the whole time, and take it off as soon as the task is finished. Do not leave a cat wearing the hood unattended, do not use it for long periods, and stop immediately if the cat shows signs of breathing difficulty or distress. Follow the fitting and handling rules set by the operator’s own veterinary and animal-welfare policy.

FAQ

What is VC45 made of?

The body is an open-weave grey mesh fabric, and the front panel is a transparent TPU sheet over the eyes. The neck opening closes with a drawstring and a plastic cord lock.

What sizes are available?

Two. Size S is listed for a neck under 28 cm and a cat weight of 1.5 to 4 kg. Size M is listed for a neck under 33 cm and a cat weight of 3 to 7.5 kg.

Can the cat still see out?

Yes. A clear TPU panel sits over the eyes, so the field of view stays open while the rest of the head is covered by mesh.

Is it a muzzle?

No. VC45 encloses the head and is used as a handling aid. It is not a muzzle, it does not prevent biting through the mesh, and it should only be worn for short, supervised periods.

How long can it be worn?

Only for the duration of the task it is being used for, with the cat supervised throughout. Take it off as soon as the task is finished and never leave a cat wearing it unattended.

How is it packed?

In a printed OPP bag with a header card, with the size marked on the bag. Custom packaging and hang tags can be quoted.

Can I order custom colours or my own logo?

Yes. Logo and graphic design customization, custom packaging and custom hang tags are available, and custom colour and custom size are quoted after review. See the Custom Service Reference above.

How long does sampling take?

Sample development usually takes about 5 to 11 working days.
