A Guide To The Dog Cone Collar

By Linda Wallace


There is a large number of people that try to find dog products which includes the specialist collars online and some of these people have more success than other. The main concerns about shopping online is the price of the products and the quality of the item. In a lot of cases people are looking for products including the cone collar. These collars are usually recommended by the veterinary surgeon after surgical procedures such as removing sexual organs. Collars likes these are great for wearing straight after the surgical procedure.

These collars will usually be worn for between ten and fourteen days. The first couple of days that the dog is wearing the dog cone collar they will probably have some pain to contend with and this will take on many forms. The forms of pain will depend on the personality of your dog and will therefore vary from one dog to another.

There are some dogs who will just want to lie on their bed and will only move to get food or water. Other dogs will try to continue as normal but they will dance about when they notice that something is wrong. There is some dogs that whine a bit and this is certainly the case during the initial few days but its normal and will settle down. One of the most difficult things about owning a dog is watching them recover from surgery.

The surgical incision that has been made will be sealed using stitches. It is important to make sure that the stitches are not damaged and this is certainly important if the dog is prone to licker.

Licking at the wound is normal and its the dogs natural way of cleaning an area and easing the pain. Although this is natural this licking can actually cause irritation to the wound area and this can cause bacteria. If the dog is left on its own he will probably try and remove the stitches, which is dangerous and if this happens it will require immediately attention.

It is a bad thing if the dog manages to remove the stitches as this will mean that the vet will need to give him more anesthetic which is not something that is recommended. These special collars are a good way to prevent the dogs biting or chewing at the wound. These collars can be attached to the normal dog collar.

These special collars means that the dig is unable to reach its rear quarters which is good for after surgery. These collars will reduce the risk of irritating the affected area.

These special collars are available in a wide range of sizes but they are generally the same and can be purchased from the vet. It may be possible to get a cheaper one online and this will depend on where you purchase your dog supplies. As you can image most of the dogs who need to wear one of these will not be happy about it however the cone collar is certainly worth considering.
