Can the collar leave dry, flaxy skin even after it's been taken off?

I have never had a problem with the collar affecting my cat's skin. I always made sure the collar was loose enough that it would come off should my cat get caught on something and needed the collar off to free himself. He wears the collar 24/7 and his collar is replaced the first of each month!

this collar did NOT make my cat's skin dry or flaky. She wears it constantly and her skin is fine and her behavior is under control. She is playful but not as aggitated as she was before

I did not have success with the collar, so I discarded it and used Feliway aerosol and plug-in diffusers. I did find success with the Feliway products. Perhaps you have the collar/s on too tight which may be affecting the skin. Hope my experience was helpful.

No, I've never had a problem with that. My Toulouse wears a collar continually because he is a very excitable fellow. Kathy

I would not recommend leaving the collar extender attched to the shirt in the wash. It may come off and impair the washer. My suggestion would be to remove before washing.

yes, as long as it's dry when it's put on. At least it has stayed on for me.

It doesn't dry. It's just a treatment which is exposed for 5-15 minutes depending on your initial test.

They say that it should come off every night, and that's probably a good idea. If left on too long, your dog can get open sores from the contact points rubbing on his/her skin. Loosening the collar to prevent this will also prevent the collar from working. We are very satisfied with the collar, but it does need to be removed and left off overnight with some regularity.

My dog fell in the pool earlier this summer and after fishing him out, I immediately removed the collar, dried it off and we had no problems. He also loves to play in dirt, roll in wet grass, etc. and we've had no issues. But that is the extent that we have tested out the "waterproof" feature. :)

I'm not sure if it does or not, but from my experience it doesn't dry skin out.

Yes. That is my favorite belt in cool weather or airconditioned gymnasiums, but in warmer weather, the high metabolic rate will cause perspiration and folliculitis. Also, at the gym periodically spray the belt as well as all benches and equipment with disinfectant spray. We live in a different world and some antibiotic-resistant pathogens are nasty--incurable except by removing surgically. Spray a bath towel and use as a barrier between you and equipment.

Probably NOT!!! It has a cloth covering over a rigid foam insert. My guess is that once it got wet, it would create other unwanted health problems. You might want to talk with the patient's doctor & discuss how they are supposed to shower. After my wreck I was supposed to wear it 2/47 but was allowed to remove for my shower. If they really can't take it off to shower then they probably should be receiving sponge baths. So, talk to the doc about the best neck brace for the person & then go from there.

we leave the collar on. just wash the inside by hand,using a sponge with a mild dishwashing liquid. rinse well and dry as much as possible around the collar. let air dry.

I typically leave the collar on while bathing the girls and scrub it a little with my hands if necessary then hang it to dry. I have also put it in the washer and dryer. Either way works fine. I have basset hounds and they get their collars filthy. These collars clean up nicely.

I've taken ours off a few times and put it back on. Velcro seems to still hold good. Just make sure the new collar width is compatible.

I just got mine but not had to wash yet. I would say Yes! I really don't don't know why you couldn't wash them since they are embroided on. We love these collars!!

No not at all and if it does happen to rub off it washes out. I even use it on my hands, just needs to dry to not come off. This is a great product and I use it daily. So glad I found it, my legs look so natural and flawless, I love to wear skirts so it's a perfect solution since I don't tan any more in the sun. Enjoy!

Yes but you should use a moisturizer over it.This particular vitamin C for me anyway is very drying

I wear mine on skin and it stays right wear I place it. I haven't worn it over clothing yet, so I can't speak to whether it stays in place that way or not. I have LOVED this belt, and if I had known of it 1 1/2 years sooner, I would be $1000s richer w/o having spent it in P.T., Chiro, pain management injections, etc., all of which didn't do anything to help my problem. Best wishes to you and I sincerely hope you get as much if not more relief from the belt as I did!!!!

I really don't believe so. In any case, it's brutal. Dries your skin right out. I bled because it was so drying
