Steph M Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 you could perhaps try a comfy cone... http://waggle.com.au/all-four-paws-b42/comfy-cone-p583 These are amazing. Seriously I was so impressed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph M Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Finding collars to stop our long nose, long slim necked dogs getting to wounds is hard. When my Vizsla boy had surgery on his foot I looked at getting the Comfy Cone, but doing the measurements there wasn't a suitable size according to the websites. His muzzle was too long for any collar that fit his neck measurements. The normal cone from the vet not only stressed him but wasn't long enough to stop him getting to his foot I later discovered. And you can forget the cloud collar when a foot is involved :laugh: I hope Sailor continues to leave her wound alone, the only solution we found with my boy was to keep the wound bandaged which he left along for the most part I actually saw on their Facebook page this is something they're working on, they're making longer ones for dogs with longer snouts. Will be great if it happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliwake Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Steph, did you get the large or XL for Gus? I got the large, and I think it was a touch small for Nix. Didn't end up using it in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph M Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I got the xl in the end, it was a great fit. He only got it off once and we had no drama! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliwake Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 That's what I figured. damn it! Will have to keep an eye out for another bargain one, for the next drama :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsMum Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Does anyone know where you can buy one of these cloud collars on the Gold Coast? Petstock is the only place I have found that stocks them and only sell the small and large size and of course I need the medium! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankdog Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I got a too big one then I tied it onto his jumper. Sewed tapes onto his jumper and tied them through the loops on the collar. It meant the collar sat a bit lower and couldn't come off. Houdini worked out how to get the collars off by sticking his head under chair legs and backing out. So much brain power put to bad use!

OSoSwift Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Try having a Whippet......................... I have them and have used them BUT they are no good for stopping them getting to legs/feet or potentially boy bits. My bitch has used one and the wound was on the front of her chest near the point of her shoulder so it stopped that really well. Other than that she isn't a dog that licks her various sutured wounds she has had, thankfully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DobieMum Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 you could perhaps try a comfy cone... http://waggle.com.au/all-four-paws-b42/comfy-cone-p583 This is what I have for my dobies, they hate it, but it works the best. They can still eat, drink and sleep in it quite happily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sail_Away Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 I ended up buying a Cloud Collar from 100% pets which is a pet shop in Tweed Heads however, it was actually too big and my girl got it off within minutes... I nearly went to exchange for the next size down but turned out she ended up leaving her wound alone (surprise, surprise!) - If anyone wants mine they are welcome to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) you could perhaps try a comfy cone... http://waggle.com.au/all-four-paws-b42/comfy-cone-p583 We got this one, the Comfy Cone, and it works really well. Great to leave on at night. We also have the other one, but I only put it on Pepper during the day, when I am home and able to supervise because it is easier to come off. Eating and drinking is possible with both cones, but the Cloud Collar looks a little more comfortable. Edited June 25, 2014 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaves Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I went through a couple because the dogs ate them ok if they are being supervised continually but i wouldnt leave them alone with it on I found vicks next to the wound site - not on it or too close worked better for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
