The Neck’s Best Thing Collar is another alternative to the dreaded Elizabethan collar (also known as a cone or lampshade collar). This collar doesn’t look as durable as the BiteNot Collar I’ve previously written about, but it still looks useful and very versatile. You cut this collar to size and you can customize it. It can be cut for a splint or used like a compression bandage for the abdomen. And it can be used on dogs, cats, even birds. (It was originally made for a bird named Hagar who had a feather plucking problem.)
I already have a BiteNot Collar, but I’m planning on getting a Neck’s Best Thing Collar for our earthquake kit.
