Great ideas here. I used the towel idea, rolled very tightly and then stuffed it inside a stocking to keep from unrolling – I could then tie the stocking ends together, no tape! Great ideas here.

My dog is a small Yorkshire terrier. The dog immediately responded happily asking for a treat. She had been greatly distressed with the hard plastic Elizabethan collar the vet had put on her after an incision on her side. It appears the collar will work perfectly to keep her from the wound. She is now walking about normally and delighted to be free of the old monstrosity. A million thanks for the idea! God bless all of you.

Roll it up into a thick tube and secure the ends with duct tape making a shape like the inflatable ring. It has worked great on German Shorthairs and Vizslas and Labs. You can fine tune the sizing to make it as thick and as tight as required to keep the dog's snout away from the affected area. Some dogs are doggegly determined and agile enough to cicumvent most anything - even the large plastic e-collar. But for reasonably cooperative dogs this towel is quite effective and it seems well tolerated since it is so soft against the skin. I use a bath towel.

My dog has a rather long snout and could still reach her incision with this inflatable ring. I'm guessing it would be perfect for a Boxer or some other stubbier nosed breed. I ended up getting the Comfy Cone instead which, while made her pretty miserable at times, still did the job and wasn't nearly as irritating at the hard plastic one I had also tried. I bought mine at Petco I think but this is their website: http://www.allfourpaws.com/ A word of advice about the inflatable collar.
