Why Consider The Alternatives To Elizabethan Collar

By Christine Meyer


It is not necessary to make your pet endure the burdens associated with the "Cone of Shame" as it is often called. Well, it is true that the collars may work well for some breeds of dogs and cats, unfortunately though, they are not that comfortable for the majority of pets. It is even surprising why the vets often think of them as the first option for an injured dog as a means of preventing it from aggravating its wounds. There are several alternatives to Elizabethan collar that you can buy after the surgical procedure.

They are ugly looking things for sure and extremely uncomfortable for the animal. They may look amusing or comical but I guarantee that from Fido's perspective they are not laughing. If I was a dog I would be peeing myself in fear at the thought. For dogs, the Elizabethan collar is more like some sick and twisted medieval torture device!

If it is in the summer and you have shorts on; watch out because they will run into the back of your legs and the edges of the cone smart. In general, they do not like wearing these and although they do get used to it you will still have a fight on your hands to get it back on after the initial wearing. These have to be worn while the healing takes place which means your pet could be wearing this for weeks at a time.

Thankfully, pet accessories are a profitable market and some clever people have come out with alternative devices to protect your pet in a similar fashion as the cone.

The healing process and the mood are correlated. The traditional options are also said to limit the peripheral vision which makes it bump on the furniture and have trouble going through the door opening. The E-collars are also soft and easily get punctured by some cats and most dogs. When punctured or torn, you may be forced to make a trip to the vet or consider some other options.

The Neck Brace -The brace seems to come in two varieties; a blow-up tube, or a more rigid brace (like a human might wear to recovery from whiplash). The design here is the definite improvement on the e-collar, the primary purpose is to prevent access to bodily wounds. The natural movement of the animal is still restricted. Not nice. This option again will cause less disorientation but can sometimes handicap the dog in other ways. A smart dog will do everything it can to pop the tube which then becomes a big waste of money. They do not protect in the instances of a facial injury.

Finally, there are soft collars that are made in the same design as the traditional cone shape. These are made of either a softer plastic or a nylon material over stiff foam padding. These are very comfortable for the animal and do work. They give if some object is encountered and bend if needed. It is still possible for the animal to reach areas around the hind quarters if they work at it.

Glasses -Doggy glasses are cool looking and might work well in protecting dogs eyes provided the dog is not determined to get them off. As we know a determined dog is capable of almost anything! As a fashion they are unmatched!
