Animals don't like e-collars, but when such a collar is necessary, this is a good choice. It's more expensive than other collars, but your animal can live a more normal life while it is recovering.

Pros: Animal can hear and see normally

Cons: More expensive

I do like these for after surgery. Or to keep the dogs from chewing on a area where a wound needs to heal.

Pros: Great for after surgery

Cons: Can get tore up easy

great for dogs after surgeryto keep them from licking the incision

Pros: easy to use

Cons: none

it is great to block the cat from scrathinga open wound that has been stiched.

Pros: it is in the way if a cat wants to scratch a stiched part of thier body

Cons: it is inflateable and it could pop

two surgeries later we were given this inflatable collar by our dog's orthopedic surgeon. previously we had used the huge plastic e-collar and a cloth e-collar. the plastic collar knocked over everything in the dogs path, was cumbersome to the dog, and he was noticeably uncomfortable trying to sleep or lie down with that collar. the cloth collar didn't entirely keep him from getting to his surgical wounds since it was so pliable. we highly recommend this product.

Pros: much more comfortable to pet,

Cons: better than plastic or cloth brands on the market
