How To Choose The Appropriate Alternatives To Elizabethan Collar

By Daphne Bowen


Puppies and cats have a thing for scratching, licking and even biting their wounds. They also like to scratch their irritating eyes and paw itchy ears when actually they should not. However, this should not be an excuse for you to punish them with a traumatizing device. Explore the alternatives to Elizabethan collar suggested below.

You can go for the BiteNot bands that do not take the shape of the cones in any way. They closely resemble neck braces and are manufactured from foam and flexible material providing suitable alternative to hard plastic. They may still cause a little discomfort but allows your puppy to eat and drink pretty well. Chances of accidents are also minimized as the devices prevent animals from running into objects.

The second alternative you want to consider are the Procollars, which look like your neck pillows. They are premium protective necklines that are inflatable and allow your puppy or kitten to eat and drink comfortably. Additionally, the materials used in their manufacture are not only flexible, but also do not cause any irritation to the skin. You can adopt them for use when you want to protect an animal with injuries on their upper body.

You can also go for the Comfy ribbons made from foam and nylon. They are more flexible and come with removable stays that allows you to provide supervised freedom for your puppy to eat or drink. For the sake of safety, especially at night, these necklines come with a reflective device. You have a choice to make as they still come in different sizes meant for both felines and canines.

You can also buy the Kong EZ soft band that takes the shape and size of the e-collars. It provides a number of advantages including flexibility, fewer accidents and comfort. This alternative does not scratch anything it gets into contact with and you can wash it. You can choose one from five varying sizes ranging from small ones for kittens to the largest for adult dogs. Also, it is adjustable and easily slides into the neck of the animal.

Boobooloons are also recommended alternatives to the satellite dish shaped chokers. They are meant for medical purposes and you can easily store them in smaller spaces as they can be deflated. They are also manufactured in different sizes for animals of all age groups using lightweight materials. Moreover, they can be taken on and off rather easily as compared to the conventional e-collars.

When visibility and hearing are a priority, novaguards or optivosors are most recommended. They leave both the eyes and ears exposed ensuring that the animals are able to see what is around them. This allows them to avoid further injuries that may be caused by accidents. The products are also appropriate when you want the pet to enjoy their drinks and food.

Lastly, you can choose the TCOA Soft e-fabric collars if you want to avoid the chokers of shame and trauma. They are softer and still provide your animal with the freedom to move and play around. They are also flexible, water resistant and ensure that chances of further injuries through accidents are effectively reduced.
