Things To Consider In Using Cones For Dogs

By Mattie MacDonald


There are certain times where pets incur injuries. A vehicle may have hit them all of a sudden while they run roaming a place. There are times where they are involved in a fight with another animal. There are also times where sharp objects may have hit them accidentally or they have fallen from higher places.

In these instances, their bodies may get cut and wounded and bandages are needed to cover them. Most pet owners use cones for dogs to prevent these dogs from licking their wounds or from chewing the bandages. However, some of them are not keen on the idea of wearing these cones around their necks. For this, several tips are provided to help the dog feel comfortable with this product.

The veterinarian should be recommending the product. The hole should be able to fit around the neck of the dog. If the owner decides to buy his own item, the veterinarian should approve it. The cone should not be loose which can be removed easily. This should not be tight where it might be rubbing on his skin and cause too much pain on him.

If the pet is not comfortable going outside or through the doors with this thing, the person should lead him around for a couple of days. This will assure him that he will be safe with the item when going to other places. If he does not budge, then the owner should not force him to go somewhere. Other objects should be kept away from where the dog will be walking since they will have lesser peripheral vision.

Eating food and drinking water are essential activities for him. However, he will find it difficult to be eating and drinking with the item. He may be unable to have a lot of intake and will be very messy. His eating and drinking bowls should be elevated so that it will be easy for him to do these activities.

The product should be regularly examined. The owner should also regularly examine the neck of his pet where the item is placed. The skin should not have signs of irritation or debris. If these signs are exhibited, then the doctor should be immediately contacted.

Cleanliness must be observed during these cases. Hair removal on the section should be done through the help of a small brush. The owner must clean the face as well without the product being removed unless there are instructions from the doctor allowing him to do so.

If the dog is fully supervised, the item may be removed for short periods of time. However, the owner has to get the permission of the doctor first. He might agree taking short breaks if the pet cooperates when removing the item.

If the pet is not complaining with regards to the stuff he is wearing, treats can surely be given. A reward system such as treats can make him do things that the owner wants him to do regularly. In extreme cases, the veterinarian may administer a set of sedatives to him. The interest of the dog is considered in this case.
