By Daphne Bowen

However, given the alternatives to Elizabethan collar as suggested in this article, you do not have to punish your pet with a clumsy cone.

The first substitutes to the infamous cones are the BiteNot necklines that are much more comfortable for your pet. They are made from plastic and foam materials as opposed to hard plastic and are a more suitable than the hard plastic devices. They will allow your puppy to perform daily activities like eating and drinking while preventing them from running into objects. A little discomfort may still be felt by the animal though.

The second alternative you want to consider are the Procollars, which look like your neck pillows. They are premium protective necklines that are inflatable and allow your puppy or kitten to eat and drink comfortably. Additionally, the materials used in their manufacture are not only flexible, but also do not cause any irritation to the skin. You can adopt them for use when you want to protect an animal with injuries on their upper body.

The Comfy neckline is manufactured using a combination of two materials, nylon and foam. It comes with removable stays and protects your puppy from injuries. With this type of lapel, you can easily supervise the pet as they eat or drink. However, it keeps the shape and size of the infamous cone but generally cause much less discomfort. It also comes with a reflective element to keep both you and your dog safe while out at night.

Kong EZ soft collars look like cones but, of course, provide more comfort. They do not scratch objects they get into contact with and can be adjusted using drawstrings they come with. You can buy them in five different sizes depending on your needs and can be machine-washed. Most users say that these products stay on the neck well and more appropriate to use than the traditional products.

Boobooloons are also recommended alternatives to the satellite dish shaped chokers. They are meant for medical purposes and you can easily store them in smaller spaces as they can be deflated. They are also manufactured in different sizes for animals of all age groups using lightweight materials. Moreover, they can be taken on and off rather easily as compared to the conventional e-collars.

When you want to enhance visibility and hearing, ask for an optivisor or a novaguard. They do not obstruct the ears and eyes of the pet while still ensuring injuries around the face are adequately protected.
