If you have a strip of soft material about 4 1/2 inches wide and long enough to fit around the neck, sew either two 8" long strip of matierial or cut a shoe lace in half and sew one on each side to tie. Sew the end and down the length keeping open one end. Stuff with either stuffing or cotton and then sew closed the end. The shoe lace or strip of material should be at each of the ends to tie. This makes a better safety collar than the cone (not bumping into things) and they can't bend the head over to chew on a stitch or sore. |
