Looking
for post-surgery options more comfortable than the plain old plastic
cone of shame? We’ve got some great options for your dog.
If
your dog has a surgery scheduled or suffers from hot spots, you may be
frustrated with the plain old Elizabethan collar from your local vet.
The cone of shame certainly gets the job done, but sleeping, eating,
drinking, and just generally being a dog can be tough while wearing a
giant white lampshade. As if healing up from an injury wasn’t painful
enough, right?
Soft
collars, neck braces, and even onesies may help make your pet
comfortable as she heals. Just make sure your cone alternative
adequately protects the injury site, and that your dog can’t sneak out
of it when you aren’t looking. And don’t forget that even when wearing
the cone, dogs need supervision after surgery. So book an experienced pet sitter or find a dog lover to drop by during the day if you can’t be around to monitor.
