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 Extra Small Collar fits neck sizes of 7"-9" (17-22cm) and is suitable for small puppies, teacup/toy breeds and cats.
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.
What are the benefits?
Most importantly, it is much better for the patient. The Comfy Collar is placed easily around the animal's neck, and it can eat and sleep more comfortably than with the traditional Elizabethan collar.
The Comfy Collar is well tolerated by the animal and acts as a support for the head, just like a made to order cushion - so important when convalescing animals need their rest!
It prevents the animal from: scratching, licking wounds, licking eczema or other skin irritations, pulling off dressings, pulling out stitches, and it maintains the animal's autonomy and natural lifestyle.
The field of vision is not affected and so the risk of accident is decreased.
The Comfy Collar is designed to be re-used and it is completely washable. It is better environmentally than disposable plastic collars and will last for many years.
The Comfy Collar can be very useful when handling potentially dangerous dogs as it helps to calm the dog and controls the position of the dog's head while the vet carries out certain examinations.
The Comfy Collar is a very safe floatation device, which can be used for hydrotherapy.
The Comfy Collar wil not damage your furniture, mark your walls or bruise your shins as your pet walks past you, as is often the case with plastic Elizabethan collars.
The Comfy Collar is available in 5 neck sizes from Toy Dog or cat to Mastiff.
We strongly suggest that you measure your pet's neck before buying to ensure you order the correct size.

Pawsitive's Comments: As with Elizabethan collars, the Comfy Collar may not prevent long backed breeds such as Bassets and Dachshunds from bending around and reaching their hind end. Neither will it prevent most dogs from reaching their paws, in which case, protective boots may be a better solution!
