An Elizabethan Circle (often referred to as an Elizabethan Collar or E-Collar) is a type of protective device used for pets, most commonly dogs and cats, to prevent them from licking, biting, or scratching certain parts of their body. The collar is often used after surgery or injury, or to prevent pets from further aggravating wounds, rashes, or conditions like hotspots.
It is called an Elizabethan Collar due to its resemblance to the ruffs worn during the Elizabethan era in the 16th century, which were wide, stiff collars that encircled the neck.
Shape and Design:
Typically, an Elizabethan collar is cone-shaped, with a wide, circular shape that extends outward from the pet’s neck. This shape prevents the pet from turning its head to lick or bite certain areas of its body, especially the back, tail, paws, or head.
The collar usually has a soft edge to minimize discomfort or irritation around the neck area, and it typically fits around the pet’s neck, secured with adjustable straps or fasteners.
Materials:
Plastic: The traditional Elizabethan collar is made of a lightweight, clear plastic material. This allows visibility while still being firm enough to prevent the pet from reaching areas they shouldn’t.
Fabric: Some modern versions of Elizabethan collars are made of softer materials such as cloth or nylon, which can be more comfortable for pets, especially if they need to wear the collar for an extended period of time.
Inflatable: An inflatable version of the collar exists, which is generally more comfortable and less obtrusive than the traditional plastic cone. These are especially useful for pets who may struggle with the bulky plastic version.
Functionality:
Prevents Self-Harm: The main purpose of the Elizabethan collar is to prevent pets from licking, biting, or scratching wounds or injuries. This helps prevent infection and promotes healing.
Post-Surgery Use: It is often used after surgeries like spaying, neutering, or orthopedic procedures to ensure that pets don’t disturb the surgical site.
Protection Against Allergies or Rashes: It can also help prevent pets from scratching or biting at allergic reactions, rashes, or hot spots that may cause them discomfort.
Comfort and Fit:
Modern Elizabethan collars often feature softer, padded, or more ergonomic designs to improve comfort and reduce stress for the pet.
They come in various sizes to fit different breeds, from small dogs and cats to larger breeds. Some collars are also adjustable to ensure the correct fit.
