What To Take Note About Dog Cone Collar

By Ruthie Livingston


Pets are just like children. If you are not sure that you could take care of them, you should not think about adopting any. They have their needs as well. And just like children, they could also get into accidents when you are not looking over them or if they are not careful at all. They could also experience different conditions that could put them in danger.

They might get into accidents particularly if you do not watch over them all the time. Some of them experience different conditions that might need treatment and surgery. When it comes to this, it should be given proper attention. And for them to recover without any issues, you should try attaching a dog cone collar to their necks for wound protection.

There are also other alternatives for this which you could when the collar does not work. When your pet has a certain wound, it would be best to keep it covered or protect them from biting it. This is what they usually do when it feels very itchy and when they do not feel comfortable with it. The stitches might come off causing more trouble.

Since the cone is attached to their necks, they could not use their teeth and mouth to bite the affected area. For them to be comfortable and act normal with it, they need to utilize this and you need to let it be for several days. Allow them adjusting time so that they could go back to their old behavior without problems.

Limits apply to what the cone can do as well. There are certain types of dogs that could not use this particular thing. Bigger types for example would surely find it hard to make use of this since they can easily remove it through simple body movements. Because of this, owners will surely find it hard to use cones since they could break it easily.

The cone covers the head which makes it hard for them to see or even bite around itchy parts. But this could not work when the wound is in their front feet or paw. They could easily reach for it. See which particular part of their body is affected before deciding whether this is the best option to use or not.

During the first times, they have to settle to it. Most pets just takes time before they could adjust to having this around them. They only need to be comfortable for it to work. So if they have tantrums and they do not behave like you desire to, you should bear with it so that they could get used to having the collar around them all the time.

There is a certain adjustment period that you can refer to for them to be comfortable about it. When it is done and they still feel stuffed and are in discomfort, you should start looking for alternatives. The sure fire indication that they are not feeling well is when they try to trash the place all the time to break things.

Neck braces as well as used clothing can be used as alternatives. Although these things have limitations in terms of when you could use it and how, this could be good options for cones particularly when they are already suffering.
