Towel E-Collar: Easy How To
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- 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.

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!
Just want you to know you're video is still helping people and dogs today.
Very grateful!! THANK YOU !
Lolol his face when he was first turned around XD
i was about to comment that XD
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.
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!
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!
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!!!
I realize this was 13 years ago, but Great Job SHOWING how the dog cannot reach with the "peanut butter test". Thank you!
For those that do not have access to an actual ecollar (blowup or cone etc.) this is a great alternative and great for emergencies.
best video ever...straight to the point...I really hate those videos where before showing you anything they talk for 15 mins ...thanks!
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) 😁
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 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!
Thank you!!! This really helped as my dog was terrified of the Elizabethan collar!!!!
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 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.
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.
What a good dog you have. I couldn't get that on my dog; he is way too hyper.
this is better than the cone. Worked for my chihuahuas!:) thank you for this😊
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!
Wonderful job! You've done a great job training that dog too! Kudos
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
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,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!
The white dog is like, "it's cool bro, you're gonna help me take this off later" lmao ❤
Bless. It's 12 midnight and my new adopt has started licking his sutures. I just need to make it through the night.
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.
I want to give Reg a jar of PB for being such an awesome demonstrator! I haven't laughed that hard in awhile.
your dog is so calm and disciplined. my is wild and crazy if I did this to him.
Seems like a great idea (which I'm happy I have never needed). Your dog is so patient!
Brilliant!!! And it works!!! You've saved us. My other dogs were terrified of that cone!
Thank you for this, we have used this a ton over the years
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! 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!
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.
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!
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.
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!
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 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.
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.
This dog is a saint! Great idea too.
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!!
Thank you. Good idea. The e collars, especially the plastic ones, are cruel.
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!
Thank u sooooooo much! My chawawa was having a nervous breakdown , did this and all was great!
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.
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
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.
Cutest dog in the world❤thank u for this
Video!
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 is a huge help. Thanks for the tip! 🐶
Worked great on my dog, thank you so much!
Thank you for the info! It's working!
He is such a sweet boy !!
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!
So glad I found this, I hate that dam plastic ecollar my dog got his mouth stuck in between it bled a lot
Oh my gosh, you’re a genius
I don't think he's upset, he looks cozy to me. About to take a nap in that thing! }-D ahhh...
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
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.
what a good boy!
thank you for sharing this.
I am going to try this!
Obrigada,você salvou meu dia e o dia do meu cãozinho.BJULU
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
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome dog!
Thank you for sharing , this is a great idea, I am going to try it... and your dog is absolutely adorable :)
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.
Maravilha sua ideia obrigado por compartilhar 👏👏🐕🦺🇧🇷🙇♀️🙏
WE Thank You... My Wonderful Chula (Belgian Malinois) and Me...
Your camera man is snoring! LOl Beautiful dog anyway.
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.
I'm so happy i found this video . My weiner dog just got neutered . Because he is so long , he has made it around the e collar , he's managed to get out of doggy diapers , then I bought two inflatable e collars and doubled up on them , then I tried the e collar with the inflatable , then I tried a t shirt . This is seriously my last hope . I really hope this works . His surgery was a week ago and he's already managed to lick the surgical glue off again . So back to the vet again tomorrow . My poor dog . We are both exhausted , irritated and ready to get back to normal .
+GirlatticusTheAthiest If your weiner dog gets out of this, I just put one of these BiteNot collars on mine and its worked wonders. Comfortable, not too expensive and is stiff so it keeps them from turning their head. www.petsupplies.com/item/bitenot-collar/220104%20005/?srccode=GPPETSUP&scid=scplp9008049&gclid=CjwKEAiAgeW2BRDDtKaTne77ghgSJACq2U4bAumIN5rrqDy9yvBKGABcpx9UL1VZWbNdypIwLD8KvhoCRnPw_wcB
What a cute bulldog!
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.
Lol! your dog resembles my grandpa in the winters with his layers of mufflers.
Since my dog is really tiny, i'll have to use a kitchen towel.
Works much better than the cone of shame and your dog won't hate you as much.
Thanks for the tip! This really helped!
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.
I am making one right now for my Yorkie. Thanks.
Yes you are a life saver & thanks
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.
Great idea!!! Thank you so much for sharing :)
Thank you! Gonna try this on my Dane.
This seems to be working so far!!!!!
Thank you for your video. My dog had a surgery in front paw. Will it keep him away from chewing on bandage?
What a good boy!
Thx
what a good dog!
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...
God bless you!
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.
Thanks it helped out a lot, my dog seems to hate it though lololol
OMG~~That's GOOOOOD IDEA!!!lolz~
Thanks alot~~~
Yes! THANK YOU so much!!!
Awesome and thank you!!!
great idea
My dog completely freaks out with an e-collar. This has been a great alternative so far...
