Tips On The Best Alternatives To Elizabethan Collar

By Daphne Bowen


Dogs and cats are known for scratching their injuries and wounds. They instinctively lick and bite such areas hence causing delays in the healing process. However, you can do better than reward them with clumsy and uncomfortable cones. Here are some alternatives to Elizabethan collar you can explore.

You can go for the BiteNot bands that do not take the shape of the cones in any way. They closely resemble neck braces and are manufactured from foam and flexible material providing suitable alternative to hard plastic. They may still cause a little discomfort but allows your puppy to eat and drink pretty well. Chances of accidents are also minimized as the devices prevent animals from running into objects.

ProCollars look more of items you may need to use to take a nap when travelling on a plane. However, they are not meant for you, but your lovely pets. Considering their size and shape, they provide increased comfort levels while straining access to injured body areas. These premium protective devices are made from friendlier materials that do not cause any irritation or rashes to puppies.

The Comfy neckline is manufactured using a combination of two materials, nylon and foam. It comes with removable stays and protects your puppy from injuries. With this type of lapel, you can easily supervise the pet as they eat or drink. However, it keeps the shape and size of the infamous cone but generally cause much less discomfort. It also comes with a reflective element to keep both you and your dog safe while out at night.

Kong EZ soft collars look like cones but, of course, provide more comfort. They do not scratch objects they get into contact with and can be adjusted using drawstrings they come with. You can buy them in five different sizes depending on your needs and can be machine-washed. Most users say that these products stay on the neck well and more appropriate to use than the traditional products.

Boobooloons are also recommended alternatives to the satellite dish shaped chokers. They are meant for medical purposes and you can easily store them in smaller spaces as they can be deflated. They are also manufactured in different sizes for animals of all age groups using lightweight materials. Moreover, they can be taken on and off rather easily as compared to the conventional e-collars.

When visibility and hearing are a priority, novaguards or optivosors are most recommended. They leave both the eyes and ears exposed ensuring that the animals are able to see what is around them. This allows them to avoid further injuries that may be caused by accidents. The products are also appropriate when you want the pet to enjoy their drinks and food.

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.
