Pet Elizabeth Collar with Rubber Edge

Usage Instruction:

1.Choose an Elizabethan collar that is the right size for your pet.

2.Slip the small side over your pet's head. Make sure to pull your pet's ears all the way through so that the collar doesn't bend them. Also, turn the collar so that there isn't a plastic loop directly under your pet's neck.

3.Pull the drawstring and tie it in a bow, making sure it's not too tight. The string can also be attached through your dog's regular collar. Some come without a string closure and can be attached directly to the regular collar, and some just attach on their own.

4.Pat your pet's head once the collar is on and talk sweetly to assure him it's not a punishment. You may also want to give him a treat to make the experience more positive. Watch him eat the treat in case pieces break off into the cone that he can't get to.

5.Clear spaces and walkways in your house wide enough for your pet to get through with the collar on. Also, keep in mind that when you arrive home your pet will walk up to the door and you will probably have to coax her back in order to open the door.

6.Make sure your pet is able to access food and water. You may need to raise the bowls if they are not already elevated. Observe how your pet manages eating with the collar on. It may be necessary to remove it just for the meal.

7.Check to see that your pet can rest his head and sleep comfortably with the collar on.
