My son't 7 mo.old pit bull mix gets neutered next week. Will this prevent him from reaching his "wound"?

He might be able to get around this i would go with a regular E collar to be safe

It should do. I used this collar for my 7 month Labraheeler when he found the regular plastic cone collar too uncomfortable. He accepted this collar much easier and did not try to reach his wound. He was certainly a much happier pup. Hope this helps.

Honestly, my dog was still able to reach her would so we ended up using the old school cone the vet gave us.

I'm not sure. I bought a Comfy Cone by all four paws for my dog recently because she had to have a toe amputated and I'm very happy with it. If I were you, I would get that instead.

My 6 mo old boxer chewed through the cover less that 15minutes after returning home from being spayed.

NO. My 21lb cocker had this on for 3 seconds and reached his neutering stitches no problem. Returning it.

Not really sure if it will prevent it completely but it will be a lot harder to get to it.

Yes, I used it on my 7 mo. old Shar-pei when he was neutered and it worked well.

I don't think so but it would depend on the size of the dog. The collar seems to work best for keeping the dog away from stitches on back legs and abdomens. I would be afraid a front paw could reach over the collar and scratch the eye. Sorry not to be able to offer encouragement because I know the big cones can be a misery for both dog and the caretaker.

Measure his top line, neck to tail and use safety pins as needed around his middle if the velcro spots are to big. Make sure he doesn't have a UTI or bladder cancer as both are painful conditions. Youl'll need to get a urine sample to your vet. Finally, if you have trouble getting the pads to go in the diaper you can use fem. hygiene pads cut in half.

I have a "mutt" who is a lab and pit bull mix...although the vet. doubts this mixture...she is medium sized and currently weighs 60 bounds and 5+ years.. She has a big back yard to roam free in and when loose she can have selective hearing, but minds well with this lease. I have used many collars and Easy Walker on her, but both of us like the Slip Lease the best....It is easy to get on and easy to pull off....best of all she does not fight it. Hope this is helpful.....

That is exactly how we do it. Mine is a rescue dog and i believe she was disciplined with a spray bottle. So to avoid any of the mental anguish. We dp spray onto a piece of gauze and apply. It is better for all of us

Hahaha. If the child is Lucifer he won't be able to burn through. Might want to consider the welding gloves with padding for 30 dollars.or get them one something rubber to bite on but make sure it's safe. Maybe he bites to relieve pain and it just seems like a bad behavior. Cold drinks and ice cream too. Seriously. Get the cheap organic ice cream and put a gummy bear in it and make them chew it.

I had a little guy jerk his head while I was trimming around his ears...it nipped him. That is the only time it has actually cut anyone for me and it didn't cause him to bleed. I hope this helps.

There's a tool for that purpose, that's safe - you stick their caw through a hole ensuring you don't sand their pads and hurt them . Google it

It all depends on the breed of dog, Mastiff or Chiwawa. But I would check with your Vet just to be on the safe side.

The teeth will not pierce through the kevlar weave, but the child will still be able to apply pressure, leaving you with bruises. I've used these to work with a dog that will bite when I groom him. After I started using these, he wasn't able to get through the skin, and I was able to not react to his bites- which made him stop. Hopefully once your kid realizes that bites don't get the same reaction from you, he will stop biting.

I got a small one for my 13 week old min pin.he fits in fine (perfect fit), but that was a week ago and he's grown fast. I left it at my mom's house so haven't put him in for a week, but think you'll be better off w/ a Med b/c Shih Tzu's have lot of fur? Plus my dog weighs less than 10 lbs still

Be very gentle and limit grooming to a few minutes a day until you build her confidence. Best wishes. Thank you for being a rescue pet parent.

It probably depends on where you are trying to prevent the dog from reaching. My pit bull that uses this medium collar is about a 16-17" neck and using a secure well fitted collar that you thread the ecollar through really seems to do the job, she hasn't had any issues with reaching her belly with it on. It is so comfortable for her, she acts like she's wearing her pillow wherever she goes....

We bought ours to keep a Westie enclosed while he recovered from knee surgery so I am probably not qualified to advise you. But, it seems to me that baby is some kind of strong if he or she can climb over the top. I am surprised it doesn't get tipped over. If you got some strong canvas like material and stitched it into the inside of the pen with strong yarn across the top and bottom it might make the sides so slick he or she could not get a grip. I sort of think you child may be too big and well coordinated for this type of pen if he climbs out of it. Our dog uses psychological war fare.....sad pleading eyes that make us given in and let him out! I would rather have my problem than yours.

Yes. I used it on my 2 year old's cut a few months ago. Works great because you can cut it to whatever size you need, it's waterproof and the wounds heal so much quicker!

Would recommend taking pet to see a vet. EMT Gel is designed for surface wounds, not deep cuts.......

I was worried about this too, but so far (he's been in it for about 4 months now) we've had no problems. The velcro area seems to be far enough away not to scratch his arms.
