Characteristics and benefits

• Soft flex material: Made of soft foam and a waterproof coating, it offers comfort and durability.

• Secure Velcro closure: Firm and quick adjustment, without the need for metal buckles that can get caught.
• Breathable and lightweight: It promotes ventilation and reduces heat stress compared to traditional rigid collars.
• Hand washable: Easy maintenance for reuse in multiple applications.
• Pack of 5 units: Ideal for clinics, residences or owners with multiple animals.

How to use

Place the collar around your pet's neck, adjusting the Velcro so it fits snugly but not too tightly (you should be able to fit a finger between the collar and the neck). Make sure the flexible rim does not obstruct vision or breathing. Refer to the leaflet for exact fitting instructions and recommended duration. It can be worn continuously during the recovery period, removing it only for cleaning or direct supervision.

Indicated for

FAQ

Can it be used to prevent a dog from licking a wound on its paw?

Yes, it is effective at preventing access to wounds on the torso, limbs, or tail, provided the collar is large enough to block reach. It may be less effective for head or neck injuries.

It can be used continuously during the recovery period, removing it only for supervised feeding or cleaning. It is not recommended to use it for more than 7-10 consecutive days without veterinary evaluation.
