Hi Bo

Just wanted to let you know that Jamie was spayed last week and the stitches came out today. I had showed the vet the collar but he wasn't convinced it would work so he sent her home with one of those plastic monster things. Jamie looked so sad. As soon as I got home, I changed her into the softee collar. It worked great. She wasn't able to get at the stitches and she was very comfortable. Thanks again

Hi Carol, so glad to hear that Jamie did well with her spay. Yay! and so glad that the collar work out for you and Jamie.

Your vet just wanted to make sure that she was good to go, I guess new ideas just take a while to catch on.

Hope she is all better now. Thanks for the wonderful and kind words. Give Jamie a big kiss and gentle hug.

Hi Bo,

Thank you so much for sending the cone in speed light

. My Cloffy just got neutered today. When I drop him of this morning the vet said he won't need a cone but when he saw the softee he said it's really nice and told me to leave it with them.

When I picked him up, all the vet techs complemented the cone and the vet decided to put it on because he said Cloffy would be comfortable with it (and he is.. currently sleeping soundly with the softee cone on). So !!YEAY!! to the softee cone

Btw, the cone is very well made. I love the color combination and the material

And glad that the collar is comfortable for him.

Give him big kisses and gentle hugs.

Can't wait to get Mickey's collar so he has it when he gets neutered. Thanks so much Bo!

Max had one of those awful plastic hard collars. I felt so sorry for him and he hated it!

I am so glad someone mentioned these can also be used on a cat! Last year our Persian cat has a hot spot and this sure would have come in handy! She kept licking the meds off.

Chloe was spayed on Tuesday... my vet wanted me to use one of those hard plastic torture machines, kept saying Chloe could get around this one... well I refused and she hasnt touched her staples once (except when I forgot to put the cone back on after a meal,

)

She is so happy in it, she can sleep and everything

Hi there. I have two small babies - yorkie and maltese mix. I sent you a pm, I would like two collars - the girl is about 5.5 lbs and the little boy is 5lbs - would that be a small or medium? Thanks!

Hi there, How old are our babies? If they are young and still going to be growing I would suggest a medium so this way you can sill use them later on. The more important measurement is the "adam's apple to tip of nose measurement" as this is what keeps them from reaching around.

Hot Rod is just at 5 lbs and the small works well for him but he is pretty much done growing at 2 1/2. His "adam's apple to nose" measurement is 4" and his neck measures 6 1/2".

Chrissy, I didn't realize that there was no mail service today.

Your collar will be on it's way to you, I dropped it off to post office this morning.
