Genia describes the Velfast as its quickest and easiest e-collar to put on: the collar closes with a hook-and-loop (Velcro-style) strip, so there is nothing to thread or clip. That makes it handy when the collar has to come off regularly for eye drops, cleaning or meals. Hook-and-loop can loosen if a strong dog paws at it constantly, so check the fastening each day.
Eight sizes from 7.5cm to 30cm. Part of the Genia e-collar range.
Features
- Hook-and-loop closure — Adjusts to the neck and fastens in seconds.
- Transparent cone — The animal can still see around it.
- Recyclable — Part of Genia's recyclable collar range.
Sizing
The size is the depth of the cone measured from the neck edge outwards. Measure from the base of your pet's neck to the tip of the nose: the collar should reach just past the nose so the animal cannot get its mouth to the wound. If in doubt between two sizes, go longer for wounds on the legs and flanks and shorter for head and neck wounds, where a very deep cone makes eating difficult. Fit it snug enough that you can slide two fingers under the neck edge.
