E-Collars
HOW TO USE: Feed your pets collar or the material provided by us (string of gauze or thin plastic tubing) into the 3-4 loops. The head goes through the looped end making sure you bring the ears into the inside. If you are using something that requires to be tied, make sure you don’t tie it too tight. When tied, if you are able to get a finger or two between the e-collar and your dogs neck, you are fine. If it’s too loose, they may be rotten and remove it! 1. E-collars are used if your pet likes to chew, lick or play with the incision and/or a bandage. 2. If you are around your pet and carefully watching him/her, you may keep the e-collar off. But it is recommended that you place it on your pet if you are not around, at work, or at night time. 3. Your pet may not initially care for the e-collar. This is common. They may try to paw it off, hang their head low, or startle themselves if they happen to run into things (including doorways!) as they move around with it on. It will take some time to get used to, but remember – it is in your pets interest (and yours as well, since you have spent much time and money on taking care of your pet) to keep the e-collar on when necessary. You pet will eventually adapt to it.
