Do you think this would work to keep a 60lbs pit bull from licking and biting his rear thigh area?

As long as you keep the air in the ring, then they dog should not be able to reach its hind quarters. The ring secures to the dog's neck using an extra collar (that you supply), making it pretty hard to remove without human help.

No way. My dog ripped his stitches on his hind leg wearing it. Took it back for a refund.

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!

YES! I got mine for my 100 lb. Pyreenes and it worked great! it's so much more comfortable than the cone she liked having her own Pillow at night!!

Unfortunately I think they can reach his rear area and so they can do it. What I do with my poodle now is. I bought wet suit from something called k9 and sewn another piece and added to wet suit to cover part of his tail. That helps him. Even though he licks the suit he doesn't hurt himself . I know how frustrating it is I hope that will help

I use it for a large lab and it works. A larger dog like yours might hang over a bit (head and feet) unless he curls a bit but the bed would certainly keep him from bottoming out - the memory foam only bottoms out when my 230 pound husband steps 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.

yes, it seems to help her a little bit. She seems to be used to it and when she is really sore she always lift me her leg like to me like she want it on. I have a black lab and bought the largest size and it could be a little bigger. Also You really have to make sure you put it on snug or it will slip down.Hope this helps.

It really depends on how thick your dogs fur is, I have a 45lbs pitbull in an 18 and I had to take a link out because her fur is short. It works great on my dogs, I also have a 87lb pitbull in an 18 as well so it will probably work just keep the dogs fur in mind when you buy one. Other then that they are increasingly effective. These I've found are the best prong collars made. They are heavy duty and made to last.

I think it would work fine. We have a 90lb Bull Mastiff/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix and it works great for him. He doesn't have the thick hair, but is a large dog and reacts to the collar. We actually only use the vibrate function, since that gets his attention and has been an excellent training tool.

Dear Ronica,that's toroggo@gmail.comI think it will. My dog is a 120 pound Malamute wolf hybrid and has a big neck.If you have not already bot it, I would consider selling the one I have, as I used it very little. A couple of times I was using it to sting him to try to stop him lunging at cars etc. and he identified the car as the source of the sting which made him want to rip the tires off even more, so I stopped using it. Otherwise he is a gentle giant. Roger toroggo@gmail.com

Wow, I don't really know the answer to that. If your pit was not trying to get out - then yes. It has been more than sturdy enough for my two, but they aren't pit bulls! Sorry I can't be of more help -

It should unless your pit bull is really large. Either way you can buy additional links that click right in for a few extra bucks.

Yes for the LARGE size - our border collie x cattle dog and our pit bull (both 22 inches at the shoulder) use it (sometimes sleeping in it curled up together) but it is light weight and soft - this is NOT intended for keep-the-dog-in-the-crate-at-all-costs situations but ones where the dog is willing to be there. We use it - with the door open - for the dogs to sleep in at night (their choice) and when we go to agility trials and someone will be sitting alongside the crate - saves taking the metal crate and a cover. We also use it in the back of the SUV on long trips again, more of a 'safe spot' the dogs are familiar with than to keep them locked in.

I sincerely doubt it. I got it thinking it would keep my 18 pound Shih Tzu mix out, but he sticks his head underneath and knocks the top off to get the Goodies. Gross! If it had some sort of clips to keep the top on, it would probably do the trick, but your pugs probably have short legs and I think they could get in easily.

Yes it would. the collar was very long and sturdy not cheaply made. i have a pitbull who is crazy and this collar has done wonders for me. all i do now is show her the remote and she will settle down right away.

Sorry to hear that! I'm not sure if this product will work.. it keeps them from biting their body well but they might could still scratch their face with their back paw. I'd say it's a coin flip. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

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

I don't think that would be your issue. I have a 60 lb jumper. The barrier did not even phase her. And it constantly came loose. In the end, I tried so hard to tighten it that it just snapped off and is now garbage. I don't know what kind of dog you have, but I personally found this item to be a complete waste of money.

Your dog has a short muzzle so it will extend long enough so he can't lick. It is adjustable in width as it has Velcro tabs for the neck. My dog-a westie is 20 pounds and it's perfect I love it I see it comes in black now I have tan.

I just tried it on my 47lb pit/lab with 26" girth and though the buckles clasp well the last Velcro strip doesn't reach to stick. The last 11/2" of fabric does and sticks a bit. I will add a Velcro strip myself for safety. Not sure if comes apart in water. If I bought again I'd get large but I already tore off all packaging and enough fabric left to add more velcro
