What is an e-collar?

It is a plastic cone which fits around your pet's neck to prevent it from scratching or biting existing injuries, allowing them to heal faster.

How to select the size of an e-collar for a dog?

If your pet has previously used an e-collar from a veterinary clinic, ask your veterinarian. Otherwise, first, use the size of your pet's regular collar to obtain the circumference for the neck hole size.  Be sure that you can fit two fingers comfortably between the collar and the neck of a dog. Ensure that the collar is not restricting breathing, swallowing, or eating.

Second, measure the length between neck and the nose of a dog. Make sure the cone height of an e-collar is greater than the length measured. The e-collar needs to be big enough to prevent a dog from licking or chewing its injuries on the body or on the head, and it should cover most of the head.

E-collars from e-collarsdirect have two adjustments for better fitting, and the size can be adjusted. 

How does my dog feel when wearing an e-collar?

The collars may seem cumbersome at first, but most dogs will adapt to the e-collars very quickly. The collar may interfere with the peripheral vision of a dog, especially; a color or opaque collar is used.  Some dogs may become anxious and sensitive.  A clear collar is better, since it provides more visibility and less interference. To human, e-collars with decorations or colors may seem to be cutter in cats, however, the cats may not like them.

Any special care needed for my cat when wearing an e-collar?

They will need to eat and drink with a properly fitted collar. Therefore, a plate is better than a bowl or a cup for them.  Check the fitting, avoid irritation to the neck and face.Be aware that dogs with e-collars may inadvertently knock over things or accidently get stuck in confined spaces. Make sure to remove valuable or dangerous objects from your pet.

Which side is facing out when wearing an e-collar?

E-collarsdirect e-collars have embossed lines to prevent scratch. Be sure that you put the smooth size close to the face and the side with embossed lines is in the outside. That is, the E-collarsdirect print is facing outside.
