How to use

Place the collar around the pet’s neck so that the wider rim surrounds the head and prevents access to wounds or bandages. Fasten the collar with the adjustable closure to achieve a snug but comfortable fit; ensure two-finger space between collar and neck to avoid constriction. Monitor the animal during initial wear to confirm it can eat and drink; adjust position if necessary to restore access to food and water. Follow any veterinarian instructions regarding duration of use and check wounds regularly while the collar is worn.

Usage recommendations

Use the collar continuously while the pet is at risk of interfering with wounds or dressings. For prolonged wear, periodically check skin under the collar for irritation and clean the collar as needed. If the pet shows signs of distress, difficulty breathing, or inability to access food and water, consult a veterinarian and consider alternative protective methods.
