Towel E-Collar: Easy How To
Вставка

- Demonstration on how to use a towel as an alternate means instead of a standard plastic E-Collar.
If your dog is smaller you can use a hand towel. In the video I use a smaller size bath towel. You need to judge what is best size for your dog; just make sure it fit properly.
If your dog cane bend to the side to much then the towel may be TO SMALL or to loose. Remember you really cannot make it that tight that it would cut off the breathing as it will loosen once it is on.
Here is a additional link to make for a smaller dog and one that might struggle more with having it put on.
• Towel E-Collar 2
Thank you so, so much for this. My 9 year-old retriever just came home from the vet today with TWO surgical incissions, one on the elbow and one on her abdomen. She is TERRIFIED of the plastic e-collar. She cried and couldn't rest with it around her neck. I placed the towel around her neck and secured it with a large collar. She cannot lick her wounds and can easily lay down and rest. Plus, the towel smells familiar and is also comforting. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this, my Golden Retriever was neutered recently and decided at 2.00 am to start attacking his stitches. This was a godsend and enabled us to get some sleep. Even my vet thought it was a fantastic solution and I have sent them the link to the video.
This is a great idea. I've just fitted one to my american bulldog and she is much more comfortable and it's saving my shins too!
thank you for doing this video. It looks SOOO much better than the big plastic cone. My dog has been licking her tale and this should work beautifully. Good job
thank you so much, my dog will stand for hours, and i mean hours when she wears the plastic collar, but with this she is laying and not so scared of her surroundings. i had to tighten it cause shes got a small head, but it worked just fine after that.
My dog hated this for less than 5 min and then fell asleep. Now when I say "It's time to put your hat on" he comes to me. He likes it. Literally within a minute he is passed out. He has allergies so I use it when he is having a scratching fit. But for him, it also works as a type of thunder jacket. It's super calming to him. Thanks for this video and assuring me I wasn't cutting off his breathing haha Albino Boxer. Love it!
Thank you for the info! It's working!
Awesome dog!
Oh my gosh, you’re a genius
Would you recommend this for dogs that need to wear a collar continuously for about two months, with it off just when walking/exercising and for about 15 minutes of massage in the evening ? he is a street dog that got addicted to chomping on. His legs, and they need to heal and regenerate fur. Also, I would love to hear what vets think about this solution,mid any are listening.
what a good dog!
God bless you!
if you live in Arizona this is one way to kill a dog... I'd just buy a proper e-collar.... poor dog...
Maybe in Arizona since it's hot their
I'm in AZ and dog and I are in A.C. He's happy and not hurting himself.
Lolol his face when he was first turned around XD
i was about to comment that XD
Omgosh thank you 1:23am after 2 pairs of cheerleading spanks, a cone and wanting to pull my hair out, I found your video 🙌
Same here, Wendy!
I tried this when my GSD got neutered. It stopped him from licking, but my dog developed rashes underneath. I would advise if you tried this let it come off once a while to check the skin underneath.
I made one of these two days ago after watching your video and all I can say is THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! My boxer is happy and not stressed; this needs to be put in ALL VETS OFFICES & information provided after surgery; the BEST!!! My boxer is able to move about freely as without collar; in/out doggie door/kennel; up/down furniture (as normal)!! Again; THANKS!!!
What a good dog you have. I couldn't get that on my dog; he is way too hyper.
For those that do not have access to an actual ecollar (blowup or cone etc.) this is a great alternative and great for emergencies.
Your camera man is snoring! LOl Beautiful dog anyway.
Thank you so much! My dog just broke his cone and I was freaking out because he immediately went to lick his stitches. Totally saved our lives ! (Plus it’s way less noisy and scratchy as the actual cone lol, tired of getting my legs scratched and bumped into) 😁
Thank you. Good idea. The e collars, especially the plastic ones, are cruel.
I realize this was 13 years ago, but Great Job SHOWING how the dog cannot reach with the "peanut butter test". Thank you!
Just want you to know you're video is still helping people and dogs today.
Very grateful!! THANK YOU !
Thank you!!! This really helped as my dog was terrified of the Elizabethan collar!!!!
My 4kg Chihuahua had surgery & needed collar. I followed directions & used 2 pillow cases folded & wrapped around his small neck perfectly. He is very comfortable with it. Much less stressful than plastic e-collar. Thanks for idea!
Bless. It's 12 midnight and my new adopt has started licking his sutures. I just need to make it through the night.
WE Thank You... My Wonderful Chula (Belgian Malinois) and Me...
Actually, heat is not as much of an issue as you might think. Dogs do not have sweat glands on most of their skin like humans do, so their skin is not used to cool them. In fact, dogs with thicker coats can be much cooler in summer, especially in the sun, than a dog who has been shaved because their own hair protects them from radiant heat from the sun. Shaving a dog to keep it cool is a myth. On the other hand, thick coats must be well groomed to maintain the air spaces. ~ Dr. D.
You apparently don't have any huskies .Those babies get very Hot in summer time.
This TOTALLY works! I have a smaller dog, Yorkie x Maltese and I used a hand towel instead of a bath towel. I did the peanut butter test and sure enough, it works and my little one is a lot happier. Don't listen to those who posted that this doesn't work.
So glad I found this, I hate that dam plastic ecollar my dog got his mouth stuck in between it bled a lot
Very interesting. It's basically a "neck brace" that limited head motion. The classic e-collar is just a "tongue" barrier that doesn't limit neck motion. I need to make something for my dog. In theory, a sturdy bandage will work. Or?...if the wound needs air circulation a steel mesh around wound would also work. It's just to keep doggie tongue away.
Thank you,you are genius ! This is a great idea for folks like me,who are broke after paying for my pet to be spayed!
Worked like a gem!
This is freaking brilliant!
Thank you so much, this is the exact same concept as this collar that's almost $50!
And I have a Great Dane so it's hard to find things in his size. This is too perfect, and pretty ingenious.
this is better than the cone. Worked for my chihuahuas!:) thank you for this😊
best video ever...straight to the point...I really hate those videos where before showing you anything they talk for 15 mins ...thanks!
The white dog is like, "it's cool bro, you're gonna help me take this off later" lmao ❤
I did this for my german shepherd and i think it caused her to have a stroke, she died shortly after, please just go buy the plastic cones people!
I find it easier sewing my dogs mouth shut with needle and thread, then I just remove it when its time to eat.
Just kidding.
Wonderful job! You've done a great job training that dog too! Kudos
I don't think he's upset, he looks cozy to me. About to take a nap in that thing! }-D ahhh...
I just came across your video today, 12/12/15. So far so good with my dog. She already destroyed two of those regular collars by bumping into things and just romping around. She even seems happier. Thank you so much for sharing. I hope this continues to work for her. :)
Thank you for posting this video. I didn't know how we were going to keep Kujo from messing with his surgery site. He wouldn't ware the e collar. Thank you Thank you Thank you.
Nice job on the video. Your patient is very patient!. One thing I might add is using easy to remove tape that you can't put on too tightly (e.g., masking tape) instead of the collar, in case the towel is not rough enough and loosens at the base of the head or the shoulders. ~~Dr. D.
I used this method for my dog after surgery, it worked and I think he actually liked it. He could eat and drink easier and it seemed almost comforting to him. Thanks!
Thanks for the idea had my puppy neutered yesterday and he been trying to get to his stickes and i didnt want to put a cone on him as i have a little one in the house and i just no he would walk in the her with it on so i giving this ago i will let you all no how it goes
Just make a e collar or go to the store and buy one for like 10 bucks.
This looks horrible and could stiffen their neck. I work in a pet shop and we have plenty of those.
Uh no it doesn't
we're actually smarter than most people named Brendan..who don't even like themselves enough to capitalize their first name..
Why is this called an "E" collar? It don't have wifi!!!!! 420 blaze it.
Its a shortened version of the name "Elizabethan collar".
I agree, it looks stupid... BUT after 30 minutes my dog has been able to walk upstairs by himself and has not licked his stitches. He is not crying like he was with the cone of shame! THANK YOU so very much!
Wow, I'm really hoping this works. Just discovered my teacup Chihuahua is behaving so strangely because he's apparently been chewing on the proximal 1/3 of his tail and it's sore and swollen. I just applied one to him mad from dust rag that was an old t-shirt. He doesn't seem to mind it too much and is currently resting comfortably after figuring out he can't reach his tail.
Spend 12 dollars and buy him a soft elizabethean collar. That does not look comfortable at all.If I had to walk around with a towel wrapped around my neck I would be ticked. Plus that trapped heat on his neck.
Obrigada,você salvou meu dia e o dia do meu cãozinho.BJULU
This is a huge help. Thanks for the tip! 🐶
My 11yo giant schnauzer had no problem getting the towel off so he could proceed to eat his back, butt, and feet. He’s old and a bit senile. So, I used a thicker towel and duct tape. We shall see.
Thank you so much, such a brilliant idea. My Humane Society where I got my dog neutered sold me an E cone for $14 and it was way too big for him in my opinion. He could not even navigate around furniture. I kept it off and unfortunately he did lick the surgery area, hopefully it's not too bad. This towel trick is working wonderfully. I can't thank you enough.
Do you think this method would keep a dog from shaking his head and body as my dog shakes his whole body constantly through the day (Like he's coming out of a pool) and keeps hurting his neck and it won't heal....Thanks...
I'm prolly going to have to do this cuz my boxer won't stop chewing her calluses on her elbow that I wrapped cuz it busted open today from chewing or just the dryness!
Excellent video. Our rescue mutt Tilly has a lick granuloma on her front ankle, and she hates the hard e-collar our vet gave us; I tried stick-on no-lick strips/bandage (she tore three off in the first 24 hours - that's $12 in wasted strips), Because we have to leave her for a few hours each day, her granuloma just gets worse every day; this is very much worth trying. Thank you (and what a lovely dog and kind/patient presenter).
Thank you for posting this. We have a pug who keeps wanting to lick various areas because of a little allergy flare-up and they can't heal because he keeps irritating them. We're trying this out now. It's like a bite-free collar!
Brilliant!!! And it works!!! You've saved us. My other dogs were terrified of that cone!
Thank you! My store bought cloud collar has a strong toxic off-gassing smell - even after washing. I was looking for ideas to make one at home and avoid breathing chemicals known to cause sickness in animals and people. I just used a smaller towel for my girl and she likes it.
This helped so much because my puppy's tail is currently swollen and keep chewing on it so it wouldnt heal. But this will definitely help since he had been chewing his tail for a couple of days now.
Works much better than the cone of shame and your dog won't hate you as much.
Thank you for your video. My dog had a surgery in front paw. Will it keep him away from chewing on bandage?
Thx
I wouldn't recommend this on a hot day w/o ac tho! Especially on bully breeds with short squished noses! Otherwise, great idea Ty. I plan on doing this for our 2 girls, they were both spayed today.
My dog completely freaks out with an e-collar. This has been a great alternative so far...
Thank you so much for sharing. I don't know how I didn't think of this years ago. I have 4 dogs, 2 have chewed hot spots recently due to stress. I only had 1 cone and they hate it, I hate it too. This is so much better. I used 2 collars linked together on one, a single on the other. Old, beat in towels work best I think.
not good in hot weather, no air curculation on neck. could cause high BP and high stress level. good in an emergency only short turm 1 hour or so.
Thank you so much. This is very helpful. My furbaby has wounds on his back paws from playing at the park. this will work out perfect
Maravilha sua ideia obrigado por compartilhar 👏👏🐕🦺🇧🇷🙇♀️🙏
brilliant idea, thank you!!! my dog hates the vets collars, but this is obviously a lot more comfortable and causing her no additional stress at all.
thank you so much. I just made one for my little dog and got ride of that horrible cone. he and I thank you again.
Thanks so much my pet was traumatized by that awful plastic collar
You are a genius!Thanks for sharing! Thats what i need for my dog who keeps on licking his wound and e collar is too expensive!
get the doggydonut collar made by procollar. its much less stressful and attaches to the dogs collar and is inflateable. same as the e collar but they can see and eat and drink much easier.
I saw a good amount of movement there and if he wanted to he could easily move down to his genitals.
Thank you so much for this video my dog has a huge gash on his face and i couldnt seem to keep a cone or donut on him and it is so hard to afford those expensive neck things. So my dog and i thank you he is on the road to recovery
Cutest dog in the world❤thank u for this
Video!
Interesting idea, it looks essentially like a c-collar for humans, restricting neck movements.
not saying the towel is stressful but my dog has a bandage on her paw and that wouldnt work for her.
Thank you so much! My border/golden mix just had knee surgery and was whimpering all night and all day today. She didn't sleep at all and seemed so stressed. After I put the towel on her, she laid on her side and is napping as I type. Hope it continues to work. It is so much better than that horrible cone!
I am making one right now for my Yorkie. Thanks.
Thank u sooooooo much! My chawawa was having a nervous breakdown , did this and all was great!
Thanks much for this. My Rottie is having surgery tomorrow to have a tumor removed on his abdomen. Was NOT looking forward to paying the big bucks for an E-collar that he'll only need for a week. This is great..great...great!!
I take it you were too busy trying not to spell correctly and didn't see the snow on the deck .....
your dog is so calm and disciplined. my is wild and crazy if I did this to him.
I will definitely be trying this! I have a boxer/Shepard mix who has already managed to destroy one e collar and bust most of her stitches.
will the towel help with dogs who just got neutered?
can i use this for new ear cropped dog he is 17 months..i need your reply mam!
Thank you for this, we have used this a ton over the years
This tech is kinda a bad idea for anything without a massive neck.
That dogs like fuuuuuuck i done did it again!
OMG~~That's GOOOOOD IDEA!!!lolz~
Thanks alot~~~
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!!! This works for our golden retriever. He hates the plastic collars but barely notices this one,.. yet he's leaving his tail alone :) Yay!
Great idea!!! Thank you so much for sharing :)
Poor thing...looks miserable LOL
what a good boy!
thank you for sharing this.
I am going to try this!
