The comfy collar prevents dogs and cats from biting, scratching and licking wounds, incisions, or other injured areas. It's comfy so it allows your cat or dog to sleep and eat in a normal position. It also allows your pet to see normally, making them more comfortable. Comes in 5 sizes suitable for both cats and dogs. The Comfy Collar is the ideal alternative to the traditional Elizabethan (lampshade) collar, and is one of the best new products we've come across! It acts as an inflatable donut that fits around your pet's neck, preventing your pet from fussing stitches, wounds or other skin irritations, and aids buoyancy in water. The Comfy Collar is made of an inflatable inner tube (high frequency welded PVC, with a 7mm inflation valve and integrated non-return valve), placed in a tough, washable protective cover, produced in PVC coated jersey. It is fitted with a zipper located on the outside, an adjustable velcro strap and 3 loops placed on the inner ring to attach to a collar. May not be suitable for all kinds of dogs/conditions.
