twodoggies2001 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I'm planning to have my mini schnauzer desexed early next year and want to prepare myself with an Elizabethan collar. In the past, I have used the rigid ones and frankly, they have been a pain for the wearer and restrictive. Because my boy is crate trained for night time sleep, getting in and out with the rigid collar I think will prove difficult. I have seen lately that there are soft ones around, including a blow up one. Who has used one of these and which type do you think is the best to buy?

tlc Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Can't help with either but just wanted to say all 4 of mine were desexed and none of them needed a collar. I always hear people talking about them. I guess some dogs are prone to licking the suture site? Good luck with your search for the right one, I guess they are not that expensive so if you don't need to use it, it won't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

becks Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I've never needed one for any of my minis but some people use a baby grow/onsie on their minis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisovar Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I have never needed to use one either. The majority of animals are just fine after surgery chances are yours will be too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I've never needed one for the boys ..provided they are kept busy ..they don't worry too much :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuddleDuck Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 We thought we'd need one for bear post desexing cos she loves having a chew on anything that feels slightly amiss.brought her home with one, but very quickly realized that as the desexing wound was a genuine owie she wasn't going to touch it even if we coated it in chocolate. She did, however, insist on rolling on her back for all visitors to see the wound so they could fall to their knees beside her and provide sympathy cuddles in ludicrous amounts. She's not rolled over when visitors have arrived once in the 3 1/4 years since the op :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bianca.a Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I have just bought 2 of the cloud ones from clean run for my boys upcoming surgery. They are cheap and with free shipping I thought it worth a shot. If they work it will be so much more comfortable for all of us :laugh: For what it's worth, none of my dogs have ever needed the cone of shame after desexing although my foster (male) did.

Guest Labradork Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) I would definitely go for the Kong Cloud Collar from CleanRun.com. I hate those plastic E collars that dogs shove into your legs. I'm thinking of going back to CR for a fifth order :laugh: Edited November 4, 2012 by Labradork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodoggies2001 Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Thanks everyone for your input. I have just completed an order for the King Cloud collar from clean run. I think it's best to have it on hand just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
