Cardinal Laboratories Pet Botanics E-Collar, XXL, Clear

Cardinal Laboratories Pet Botanics E-Collar, XXL, ClearOkay, yes the collar was flattened out and more oval on the dog than round, though he didn't seem to mind it a bit, he was already used to wearing the homemade collar we had for him--though it wasn't doing the job. This collar is perfect, the length of the cone is just right, our Heeler couldn't reach any of his legs to scratch. It was only one leg in particular we wanted to protect him from but I think it's important to note that he couldn't reach his hind or fore legs. As long as the water bowls were full, he could drink just fine. He could eat with this on but it wasn't easy for him.

Whenever we'd give the dog a break from the collar I'd fold it opposite of the way it was flattened and lay some heavy items on it (very heavy, this thing is sturdy), after about three days it was a normal round shape. The collar doesn't seem to irritate the dog at all.

It takes strong, nimble fingers to work the clasps. If you don't have tough fingers, you might have to use a small object (a key, butter knife, or even a thimble maybe) to push the little clips inward to undo the clasps. It's tad tricky at first but we got it worked out. I found it easiest to pinch the clasps (or whatever you call them) to slip them out of the holes when taking the collar off. Snapping them in place was very easy.

Our dog has been in this new collar for well over a week now and he's doing great with it. He's never once managed to slip out of it, though I noticed that if he's left too long without supervision that a couple of the clasps popped themselves partway out. But only partway. I'd recommend the collar to anyone. It's easy to use, the price is great, and it does the job.

After my shepherd puppy destroyed the first E collar after surgery I ordered this one. It is much better constructed in terms of the flexiblity and weight of the material. The only negative was that the use of plastic clips to close the collar rather than velcro made it almost a 2 person task to place the collar on our dog.

Our vet unit hardly made it a week. This one is much more flexible and forgiving and so far will seem to last much longer.
