Your veterinarian may recommend using an Elizabethan collar or buster collar. These collars come in various sizes are lightweight and designed to help animals recover safely after they have had surgery, been treated for an injury or are experiencing skin problems.

Some health problems and procedures may require your pet to have a general anaesthetic. These may include surgical and dental procedures, lump removal, radiographs and other conditions. Your veterinary healthcare team will only recommend an anaesthetic when it is absolutely necessary. If your pet is having an anesthetic we encourage you to watch our video on having an anaesthetic for a procedure or surgery.
