How To Identify Friendly Alternatives To Elizabethan Collar

By Daphne Bowen


Puppies and cats have a thing for scratching, licking and even biting their wounds. They also like to scratch their irritating eyes and paw itchy ears when actually they should not. However, this should not be an excuse for you to punish them with a traumatizing device. Explore the alternatives to Elizabethan collar suggested below.

The BiteNot collar is a friendly device that does not look like a cone at all for dogs or cats. It is made using a combination of plastic and foam materials and takes the shape of a neck brace. It significantly reduces the chances of the pet running into items, but still allows them to do daily activities. Nonetheless, it may still cause a little discomfort but ensures the animal causes less damage.

The second alternative you want to consider are the Procollars, which look like your neck pillows. They are premium protective necklines that are inflatable and allow your puppy or kitten to eat and drink comfortably. Additionally, the materials used in their manufacture are not only flexible, but also do not cause any irritation to the skin. You can adopt them for use when you want to protect an animal with injuries on their upper body.

You can also go for the Comfy ribbons made from foam and nylon. They are more flexible and come with removable stays that allows you to provide supervised freedom for your puppy to eat or drink. For the sake of safety, especially at night, these necklines come with a reflective device. You have a choice to make as they still come in different sizes meant for both felines and canines.

The next substitutes are known as Kong EZ soft collars. These products imitate the size and shape of your ordinary cone necklines, but are much more comfortable on your puppy. They come with drawstrings that can be adjusted and they cannot scratch any object. Also, they ensure flexibility making it easier for your pet to move around while maintaining protection to wounded parts.

Still, you can get a boobooloon, which is an inflatable medical device to increase the comfort level of your pet. They come with strips to ensure they stay in place and can also be deflated for easy storage. Your cat or pup also gets good peripheral visibility to minimize chances of accidents. The device is comfortable, lightweight and also comes in different sizes. Additionally, you can easily take them on and off.

When you want to enhance visibility and hearing, ask for an optivisor or a novaguard. They do not obstruct the ears and eyes of the pet while still ensuring injuries around the face are adequately protected. The ability of your puppy to eat, see and hear is thus not affected at all with this device. The option is also recommended for use in blind animals, which are most vulnerable to bumping into objects.

The main reason e-collars are not ideal is due to the level of discomfort they cause to the pets. The soft e-fabric necklines provide an amazing alternative by taking their shape, but are made using softer and lightweight material. They provide the puppies with an opportunity to enjoy full movement while ensuring injured body parts are adequately protected.
