Little did she know I happen to have the chewiest, lickiest dog around. He had to have it on permanently, because even when I was with him he still managed to get to his stitches. It seemed so mean! I then discovered the Comfy Collar, what a Godsend! Barney had to wear it for nearly 10 days, he could sleep, drink water and eat without any problems. Comfy Collar made the whole process workable and he really didn’t mind wearing it, I think that all vets should use these as standard and have definitely spoken to mine about it. I can not begin to tell you how grateful I was to have found such a simple but effective solution.
