Have you ever been to the vet and notice a few dogs with what looks like a cone around its neck? That is not a new fashion statement that the vet is promoting and there are no modeling agent waiting outside to give the dog a contract. That cone that is placed around the dog’s neck actually serves a couple useful purposes. It is known in the dog community as the cone of shame. But the real name is the Elizibethian Collar It is also referred to as, E-Collar, Buster collar or pet cone. Why is it called that? I thought you would never ask. Back in the old time colonial days when Britain decided that every piece of land on district Earth was belonged to the queen, there were fashion statements being made in the Palace. Queen Elizabeth had a fancy way of dressing where she wore dresses with enormous collars that ascended from her neck line all the way up to her mouth area. These were royalty wear and many prominent English ladies also did the same.  

The E Collar or Pet Cone as simple as it seems is quite ingenious. When dogs go to the vet for various illnesses. If the animal receives surgery, stitches, patches over rounds or anything of that nature. The animal will always tend to lick the area where any foreign matter is such as those stitches and patches. Pet cats and dogs have been known to gnaw away and even chew out stitches and patches causing wounds not to be properly healed. If the animal licks and chews those unhealed wounds, it can cause irritation and infection, which may leave a hairless, discolored, ugly scar for life. The cone of shame or E-Collar is placed over the dog or cat’s head and prevents the movement of the head to chew at those tender areas of the animal. The cone serves the same purpose as a claw wrapping which would prevent the animal from scratching away at wounds to create further damages.

Not many dog owners are fund of the cone of shame and of course, no dogs like to have that big old plastic thing around its head looking liking a barking bulb.  So they have had several alternatives to this E-Collar.

Can my dog eat with an E collar on?
If your dog normally eats or drinks from a deep bowl but refuses to eat with the collar on, try offering food in a shallow dish or plate. If you feel you must remove the protective collar, make sure your pet is supervised while eating, and replace it as soon as the meal is finished. But why go through all of that when there are good alternatives to the cone of shame.

2. Comfy Collar
Who wants a plastic cone around their dog’s neck causing the animal discomfort when they can get a comfy collar to replace the cone of shame. This comfortable alternative to the cone of shame is made from nylon and foam material which brings flexibility along with comfort for your dog. This comfy collar allows your dog to have the natural abilities to feeding and drinking because it has “Stays” which are removable. These “stays” keeps the foam structure intact. The cone remains secure and holds its shape by attaching it to the pet’s collar using loops on the device. The Comfy Collar features a reflective fabric to keep you and your pet safe while going outside at night. This medical device comes in six sizes and can protect both canines and felines.
Ditch The Cone of Shame.
Your vet will not supply these fancy collars, they will definitely fit your dog with that cone of shame. If you know that your dog may be up for stitches, wound cleaning or another vet service. Ensure that you get the dog a collar which will make him/her comfortable even after leaving the vet.
