My kitty has a hurt back paw. He got the vet e collar off in one day. Will this stop him from chewing it?

My cat wasn't able to take this one off. It's easier to adjust than the plastic e-collar from the vet. And it's soft so it's more comfortable.

It was like super glue... Which as long as you're careful doesn't get on the cat's paws. But my cat chewed hers off within minutes.

Cynthia, although this collar does keep some of the cats from scratching, adult cats have very long legs. I have an Egyptian Mau whose long legs easily reach his head and ears. I would recommend the cone to keep those long "stilettos" from reaching their targets. I hope this is of assistance to you.

It didn't stop mine from laying on it, but it did help to curb the chewing. You have to reapply it at least every other day though, as the strength of the taste apparently wears off quickly on fabric.

I don't think so. I put half a milkbone treat in it and it occupies him for hours. He hasn't shown any signs of pain or anything, but it definitely keeps him out of mischief!

Yes, I tested it when I removed a spent one from my kitty. It snaps away quite easily so she won't hurt herself.

We can usually get several months of effectiveness out of a collar before behavior problems may start back up. Have you made sure it isn't a medical issue causing your cat to mark? One of mine ended up having an infection and crystals starting when we took him in to get checked out for peeing out of the box.

It could hurt the cats if you play rough and are not careful. I've gone through about 10 of these in the last 3 years since the wire eventually frays at the top. Only once did our cat get hurt and that's when dear hubby was playing with the new kitten and wasn't paying enough attention and yanked in while she had the wire in her mouth. It cut her little mouth but we didn't know until she stopped eating. The vet gave her painkillers for 3 days and all was well. I won't stop using the dabird gocat cat catcher because it is all of our cats favorite toys ever. We just need to be careful when playing :) It could hurt the cats if you play rough and are not careful.

If this is used after surgery request they trim the nails. I tried this with my kitty and he squeezed right out of it and pulled out a suture. Took him all of 5 minutes. I think the big plastic e collars from the vet are probably the best.

Not that I noticed... Take kitty to vet. Being the pad in a Baggie if u have to

I don't think so but it would depend on the size of the dog. The collar seems to work best for keeping the dog away from stitches on back legs and abdomens. I would be afraid a front paw could reach over the collar and scratch the eye. Sorry not to be able to offer encouragement because I know the big cones can be a misery for both dog and the caretaker.

It will reduce the ability for any animal to cause injury. Because it is a thick fabric material a dogs claw may be able to "Rub" through the fabric is scratching hard enough, where as plastic collars will be more resistant to that. for Hind leg scratching to the face I would not recommended for front paws Yes I would...Good luck

I don't think it's thick enough to prevent claw going thru. Maybe removing pillows from your bed when you get up so your cat is unable to claw it. Hope that helps

Not sure about the cats tongue but my experience with this product wasn't that great. Our Saint Bernard who is normally an angel, never counter surfs, you can leave a plate of food on a table without worrying, grabbed the no-chew Vet Wrap and chewed it up! I'll stick to regular vet wrap from now on if needed. And spray with Bitter Yuck.

I would recommend just leaving it on as it is all natural just Lavender & Chamomile n will not harm them at all. It works great for that! Is your cat a little older? Also try playing with kitty before bedtime. I use them all the time and order the 3-packs on line which is cheaper and well worth the small price each month - especially when it works. Don't be shocked when powder comes off of the collar onto the kitty that is normal. I usually wipe some off of their fur and leave some still on the fur. Leave the collar on though.

I honestly would not do it on a cat . I attempted this on my dogs paw as directed and he yelped quite a bit. Plus I didn't get enough blood out for the test. I am a nurse btw. I just think you should just let the vet do it. I say this because you have to handle your pet every day , do their nails etc. You wouldn't want them fearful of you handling their paws, especially the cat.

Yes, if the cat wasn't opposed to wearing it, as it will stay on because of the velcro. My cat has some issues with the nerves in her one of her hind legs, so she hisses at me when I want to put it on and then when I do, she either has some issues walking or she gets out of it.
