| bought something really cool Suzi is getting spayed and a dental on the 11th of this month, I went to our pet store looking for something she could wear after her surgery other then a lampshade. I found a premium protective collar that is inflatable. All you have to do is blow it up , close it , and place it over her neck, it has velcro for adjustment. This one does not block vision, will not mark or scrape furniture, improved durability and strength, very lightweight, breathable fabric , machine washable . It is round. They have them in different sizes, and one for extra small breeds, I got Suzi a small one. I tried it on her last night so she could get used to wearing it before her surgery, at first she did not like it, tried to take it off, then after figuring out she could not take it off, she was a pro. I still am going to moniter her after surgery, bit this is a really good alternative then wearing a lampshade. I talked to the vet about wearing a onsie on her, but he said she still could bit on or scratch on the stitches. I observed Suzi even eating with the pro collar on last night, so that was a +. It is kind of cute, and reminds me of a life jacket , only though it goes around her neck, it is easy to use and comfotable for my dog. It's basiclly a inflatable collar.

| I've seen them and wondered how well they would work... Tink thinks anything inflated needs to be deflated though... if she ever got hold of it I'm afraid it would be history.Lol! They do look more comfy though.

| We got one for Jaeger, and it worked for us-with some wiggling, he could still get at the incision site, but as long as we had an eye on him, he was fine. Jaeger loves to pop inflated things and didn't try to attack his collar. |

| I have strong feeling about those hard collars. I think they are horrid torture devices and I think most pets would agree with me. The soft collars or even a snap on shirt are so much more comfortable for the pet. Those hard things put stress on the neck and cause the animal to bump into things. I know it is much cheaper to cut a piece of cheap plastic and wrap it around a dog's neck but I have to wonder what these vets are thinking by using such things on our pets. The one you purchased sounds well thought out. I hope it works out well for you. You are very kind to consider your pets comfort rather than cost. |

| I have a "Bite Not" collar for my 1 cat who has kitty OCD and when stressed will pull all her hair from her belly. Bite NotŪ Collars Onsies so far have worked for my girls and close monitoring.
