My miniature schnauzer's wound is just below her front leg pit. Will this collar keep her from licking this area?

i cant say for sure it depends on how determind your dog is. it has stoped him licking his tail.

I believe it will, if I am picturing the wound site correctly. It seems especially effective for small dogs.

I'm thinking it should, as long as you have it fully inflated. We used this for my sheltie who just had hip surgery and he couldn't go at his surgical site. Plus he treated it like a pillow and would lay down and rest his head on it.

I don't think it would work for a back leg, at least not the Small size which I bought. My large cat would have definitely been able to reach her hind leg with this collar, and a small dog probably would too. It bends and is not really long enough (I think) to prevent a dog from reaching her leg.

Hello: I am not quite sure how to help. This item is for a collar. You might try searching for a different item. - Beautiful Brands -

I doubt it. My dog is a 90 lb. Standard Poodle and it worked fine for him. The collar extends past the point where the dog can get his teeth into the rim and bite it, and it attaches with pretty strong Velcro so it would be practically impossible for the dog to remove it. I worried about my dog being able to lick or bite his wound with this collar because a poodle has a very long snout, but, with the size XL, he couldn't do that. Hope this helps.

I would say it depends on how long legged your dog is. Mine is a cocker spaniel so her tail is snubbed. And I would think as long as you didn't fold it back they shouldn't be able to reach those areas, but it depends on how irritated the dog might be. Hope this helps!

I have a 45 lb staffy and it kept her from going at her rear leg, although I used this in conjunction with the Contech soft cone. I used the cone when her incision was new because she definitely couldn't reach it with that and its more comfortable than the collar. Once it started to heal I used the collar so she could see a little better, but had it slightly deflated so she could be more comfortable when laying down. Even with it slightly deflated she didn't seem to be able to reach it well. Because they are so cheap, maybe use them together like I did!

My Papillon will set off the collar on my Tibetan Spaniel. I turned the sensitivity all the way down which helped but it still goes off occasionally when the Pap barks.

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....

I asked my vet and she didn't have an answer so she called tech support for seresto. Apparently the collars come with a reflective tag that can come off and become a choking hazard. I hope this is true. I love to snuggle with my dog, but don't love fleas/ticks.

Mine was small as well. My cat weighs about 15 pounds and since the wound was on his neck, this worked out great. I thought the fit would be tight, but it was just right. And he was unable to escape from the collar, but he did lick it and scratch a lot :)

The collar is adjustable but usually these anti-bark collars are for the smaller 'yappy' dogs. :) Sometimes, I just have to show my miniature schnauzer the collar and he'll calm down. Not because this is harmful or anything but because he knows that he'll get a surprise if he barks. If you need further detail, I can check out my dog's collar when I get home and see the length of the collar so you can tell if it would fit your dog.

I have a mini Aussie, with lots of fur as well. The collar has plastic wedges that simulate a mother dogs corrective bite. This collar is not as lethal looking as the metal kind but works similar. The area where the throat is has an elastic cord so no damage will happen to that area. The video tells you how to assemble the collar by adding or deleting the links. I ordered the small version, perhaps you need the large version. Hope this helps?

Where is the wound located? My cat's wound was in her stomach and she was still able to bend her body and lick her incision. In my opinion, this collar is too short.

I got our collar out and did a test rum on my lab who weighs about 60# and had her try to reach the front of her paws (dog biscuit reward induced!). She just couldn't quite reach. This collar restricts their stretch to some degree in all directions. I would say it is worth a try to try to break the habit, if it is a habit and not something physiologic. Vets should carry these--they are MUCH better than the cone (we call it The Lampshade!)--an outstanding product and I am glad to have it on hand for the next time we need it. Have you tried spraying the top of your lab's paws with Bitter Apple? Apparently, not all dogs hate the Bitter Apple as much as my dog does, however! Another suggestion I would make is to get the dog boots and use them for a time on her front paws. We use them in the winter for below zero weather--Lucy isn't crazy about them but she does get used to them. She had a bad cut on one of her paws a few years ago and we put a boot on over her bandages and she got used to it. The bandages had to be on for about a month, dressed daily followed by the boot and she was very good about the whole thing once she got over the weird-ness! Good luck working this problem out with your lab--they are the best dogs, aren't they?!!

I have a 6 month pup that is a little over 30 pounds and I have the collar as small as it Will go so I would assume not. But idk

I have a dog who has to wear a collar long term. I use the Comfy cone collar. I use it with his regular collar. My dog is hairless and the Comfy Cone does not cause skin irritation.

I don't usually cut the collar because it dies waste product. My mini schnauzer doesn't mess with the extra and neither dies my Great Dane. Make sure you bought the correct size for your dog. Otherwise, if its not affecting your dog in any way them don't cut it. It's s great collar and definitely keeps ticks off!
