Will this keep a leggy chihuahua from scratching at her face with her hind leg?

This collar actually made my cat scratch her neck more. It seemed to make her sweat. I would not recommend it.

I use this item on my cat that licks sores on her back near her tail, she cant reach that area while wearing this, HOWEVER I did see her scratching her face with her hind leg over the weekend, I took her picture doing it but do not see where it allows a picture on this response to your question, hope this helps.

I don't have a dog i got it for my cat but i believe As long as it stays on it will keep her from scratching her face. Good luck!

I do think it would block her from reaching her face, it's a really great purchase, my boys were able to relax with it on and not reach anything.

It might... I've got a mini-schnauzer, and she can rest her head down on hers, but she can't do anything with her back legs and her head. I got hers for when she's spayed, and she won't be able to reach her abdomen- if that helps :/

It should help but in my case, my cat kept trying to scratch around his neck with his rear legs and his claws eventually (a couple of days) punctured the bladder.

I had it to keep my chiuaua from getting out of my fence. It was very comfortable for him. It will definitely work for her face scratching and it is soft, so she will be comfortable

Sounds like my 8 year old female Cocker Spaniel. She didn't seem to respond any differently than usual during a car ride while wearing the wrap. I asked her veterinarian to make sure I had it on her properly. It was on just right and looked like a cute doggie girdle. Just didn't help my dog. Works for some,but not all.

No. Just make sure it's tight enough around their neck and the fur will move out of the way.

I have noticed that it has rubbed the hair off my pup's armpits but it hasn't caused sores or anything. I left it a little loose though because a previous harness had caused some irritation for her. Had one on her for a few months now.

It could depending on dog's body structure and where harness fits on the dog. My dog has a barrel chest and some harnesses hit her right in the crook of her front leg and if it is tight it will run.

It fit my 4-5 pound Chihuahua and the velcro strip is quite long for special fitting.

Yes. I actually bought mine for use on both me and my Chihuahua. There is some vibration and the noise frightens him, but your dog may be fine with it since he's bigger. It works really well.

Probably not because my Australian shepherd can get his "nose" around the side of the barrier so I'm thinking a Chihuahua would figure out how to squirm through the area as well. Works great for us though.

I believe that it would help your little morkie because she is probably anxious when she sees other dogs approaching and it may help her to feel like she is being held. I of course cannot guarantee she would be helped but she can wear it during thunderstorms or when she is left alone in the house and it will be a comfort to her. I think it helps them to self soothe, much like a pacifier does for a baby. :) Good luck

Be careful! My 5# Chihuahua was well contained until he learned to get his front paws on the sides.. It MUST be anchored down or it will tip over! Also, rabbits can likely knaw through the material alot quicker than a teething puppy.. Good Luck!

It can but I would give him a break as much as possible. It has a cut out so they can still go to the bathroom but it can rub. Our female has an infection in that area now. The vet can't say for sure if it's caused by her wearing this too much, but she said it isn't helping either. So we try not to leave it on for extended periods like all night or during the day when we're working.

I used this on a long coat Chihuahua, but.also on his tail and belly side where the fur is shorter. I'm not sure how it would work for your cat, but it may be worth a try. We are very pleased with the product.

I would say she would pull it out of the frame itself before she would scratch through it. The way screens are held in place is not terribly secure. As for the screening itself... I would not trust it. I wish I had a better answer but my pets are cats.

My chihuahua is about 6-7 pounds and the extra small jacket is perfect for her and it does work. We were in oklahoma and were hit by a tbunder storm right over us in an RV at 3:00 am, poor Callie was a wreck, i put the thunder coat on her she went under tbe covers in the bed and was fine tbrough the rest of the srorm

I would try a bigger size if you want to avoid scratches on the face. With the extra small, my cat can lick her paws (not a problem since her surgery was on the tummy). Your dog won't be able to scratch from the regular position, but she may be able to bend in a way to "poke/pet" her head with the back paws if you get a small size

It worked on my dog until we seen her licking constanly, come to find out her leg broke just between in the opening, she ended up with a huge bump wher she was licking. Took her to vet found out she had bone cancer and we had to put her down 3 months later when it broke again. She only wore this brace for 3 weeks. I think ot kept her hock from breaking way before. So yes I think it would work, but keep eye on excessive licking could be a sign that its not arthritis as we was told thats what was wrong to begin with, and why I bought thos for her. She was a Husky.

Quite unlikely. Our dog has a long nose and reachimg her rear with the collar.on would be oit of the question.
