The original Apex clear Elizabethan collar — a plain, transparent cone that stops a pet reaching stitches, hot spots or a bandaged paw. It is the simplest and most economical style in the range, and the clear plastic keeps the pet's side vision.
Available in seven sizes, 7.5cm to 30cm. If you would rather fasten with press studs, see the Apex Snap Clear E-Collar. Part of the Apex range.
Key points
- Clear cone — See-through for less stress and easy wound checks.
- Seven sizes — 7.5, 10, 12.5, 15, 20, 25 and 30cm.
- Wipe clean — Wash with warm soapy water between uses.
Sizing
The size is the depth of the cone from the neck edge to the outer rim. Measure from the base of the neck to just past the tip of the nose: the cone should reach slightly beyond the nose so the pet cannot reach the wound. The neck opening is adjusted and fastened around the pet's own collar or with the fastening provided — you should be able to slip two fingers underneath.
Most pets need a day to learn to eat, drink and move through doorways in a cone. Raise food and water bowls if needed, and do not leave the collar off unsupervised while the wound is healing.
