I am a snorer! Because my neck is short, my chin has a tendency to fall causing me to snore. Could something like this collar keep my chin from dropping?

I don't know how comfortable you'll be, but it will definitely prevent your jaw/chin/face from "dropping."

I use this set of straps with no mask, just the nose piece and pillows for nostrils. The chin strap exerts a small amount of pressure but would probably not offer a lot of support. If a primary issue was your mouth coming open, I'm not certain it would solve it. It might be worth a try though.

Yes, I would think it would be quite heavy/bulky around a little maltese neck. They're similar in size to any of the correction collars - maybe you can check the size at your local pet store.

I think it would be if worn snug against neck. My dog wore it for a week and learned not to bark, now we only put it on once in awhile.

yes, but my experience was that I had to secure the collar with a small zip tie. It wouldn't stay secure.

Yes, it does not give a lot of wiggle room so your head and neck stays in the same place all night.

The Preventic collar is fully adjustable to any neck size smaller than the collar. It uses a standard slip buckle. I use a 25" collar on a NS Duck Toller with a 21" neck, and I join 2 - 25" collars for a Mastif with a 40" neck.

I have mine relatively tight on my face. It keeps my mouth firmly closed and think it would work for your purpose. Hope this helps.

I first put the collar on with room around his neck, next thing I knew he was trapped with it in his mouth. My husband grabbed him and I struggled to get it off him using the buckle, I then made it tighter. This collar is NOT a breakaway as they claim, so be very careful.

I agree with the first answer. You can usually find a secure point to lock the device to down low to the ground, such as the ironwork on a bench. The collar can rotate around the dog's neck so that the locking mechanism doesn't interfere with resting comfortably on the ground.

I am just guessing but I don't see any reason why the guard would not stay in place (especially if it has an adjustable collar)

This is like a choke collar and it may squeeze the dogs neck too much? You cal also try gentle leader EASY WALK HARNESS which deters pulling, but does not put pressure on the dogs throat.

Yes, otherwise the air pressure in the neck brace will cause your head to fall backwards, and that will probably cause more of a problem.

It has a small collar. It doesn't go very high onto your neck. We waterski in high mountain reservoirs and own two different sizes of the suits. They work fine.

Not sure if it will help with the snoring, but it does elevate your head, so if you have found putting a few extra pillows under your head works, this should work, but better because it doesnt shift

It is not breakaway. We dealt with a cat that had panicked and tried to remove the collar overnight, only for it to get stuck in his mouth, forcing his jaw wide open and cutting into his skin. His circulation cut off and really bad swelling in the top half of his face. Awful. They really need to work on these collars.

According to the instructions, the collar needs to fairly tight. If you can get it buckled pretty easily, it is probably too loose. Make sure the dog is standing when you put on the collar. I have to stand over my dog and hold her up with my knees at her hips to put on the collar. I found that the collar can be a little looser and still work. But it still needs to tight enough to stay in place.
