It must also be in the original packaging. Before returning items, please send us an email at [email protected] to notify us of your issue. Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify y
ou that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund.

Never lose your shy dog again! If you are the owner of a spooky or skittish dog, you know how nerve wracking it can be to walk them safely. And while none of us ever wants any of our dogs to get loose, it's ever so much more dangerous if the loose dog is a spook. Spooky dogs are more likely to panic...

Do you want your dog's name printed on the nose padding of a muzzle? We can do that! Type in your dog's name, up to 12 letters, numbers or spaces.

I'm putting black leather straps on them, of course, but how exciting is it to open the box and see this? I got two boxes like this! We'll be stocked for a while!

I just noticed that our last post about the whippet muzzles with integrated stool guards was in January! I owe you all an update! The mold tool for the injection molding is being manufactured as I type this. Our first production run of muzzles will start in late May, so we're right on track for having these in stock in June or July! 🥳
The first run will just be white, with black leather straps as shown. We do plan to add more colors in the future.
More great news: While waiting for the manufacturing, I have been researching and practicing how to attach leather nose padding. So we'll be able to offer padding, with YOUR PUP's name printed on it! Wahoo!! 🎉

It's nearing that time of year again: when we set up our whole shop at Greyhounds in Gettysburg. Come see us there, try on products, let us snuggle your dog!
We sell a curated selection of high-quality safety products for dogs. We are a dog-owned small business located in beautiful Virginia, USA. For more information about us, read Our Story.
Our dogs are so sweet and loving, we'd do nearly anything for them. We buy them pretty collars, coats, call them affectionate names... and then they go and do something gross like eating p**p in the yard. Eww! So what can you do about that? Here are some suggestions.
Do you need to have a leash on both harness and collar, or to two collars for safety but don't want to deal with additional bulky leashes? Our Leash Safety Strap is the solution! Tie the Safety Strap to your dog's leash, then clip to both harness and collar. Anxious that your leash hardware might br...

Update on our new whippet muzzle design: We've done a test-fit on a sweet volunteer (pictured here), tweaked the sizing a bit (it's a touch too small) and have re-submitted it for a second prototype. We're still on track for getting this in stock sometime this year, hopefully before summer! The prototypes are just basic white but we absolutely plan to sell this in a variety of colors, along with a few other customizations/options that we'll save for a surprise. What do you guys think of the design? Isn't it SEXY as heck?!

Our Story
I created Something Special Pet Supplies/Hound Safe in 2016, along with my husband Dave, Ajax and Capri (retired racing greyhounds) and Sweetie Pie (a sugar cookie wrapped in a cat suit). Prior to launching the store, I served on the board of directors with Blue Ridge Greyhound Adoption for 3 years where I organized many local monthly meet and greet events, served as an adoption mentor, reviewed adoption applications, wrote blog articles and did the bookkeeping.
After that, I held a board seat with Scooby North America for 2 years, again doing bookkeeping, reviewing adoption applications, managing the website and social media and even volunteered one week at the parent shelter in Medina Del Campo, Spain. Our family continues to volunteer and occasionally foster dogs with BRGA and we wholeheartedly endorse pet rescue and adoption. We are located in lovely northern Virginia.
We are both lifelong animal lovers and want to help promote the best care for them. We believe animals are family members in every sense, beloved and cherished. Our Ajax went to the Rainbow Bridge in 2018, taking a large chunk our our hearts with him. In early 2019, we adopted Loki, a stunning black retired racer who keeps us laughing. Our Beloved Capri went to the Rainbow Bridge in January 2019 after a long life of love and happiness (she was almost 15). Loki needed another friend so in July 2019 we adopted Freyja, another retired racer aged 5 years (going on 6 months).
Our mission is to sell only high quality safety products for dogs. In 2020 we refined our shop from Something Special Pet Supplies (selling all kinds of pet things) to Hound Safe with a much sharper focus on safety.
I carefully select the products we carry and am always searching for better quality items. I also place extremely high value on customer feedback to help me curate the shop and don't hesitate to drop items that don't live up to their marketing.
Customer Service
If you have any questions about your order or our products in general contact us at [email protected]. We respond to all inquiries within 24 hours at minimum, but usually more quickly. We love to assist with questions about how products fit or if they are right for your breed. Friendly and personal customer service is what sets us apart from the big box stores.
(Using email instead of a telephone number allows us to provide longer customer service "hours". Because our shop is online, we don't have established business hours, but instead perform customer service and order fulfillment as soon as needed. The result is usually much faster service!)
