DIY E-Collar 

Thanks for posting. I ordered a soft cone for my pup and it hadn't arrived yet so this video was helpful in preventing her from scratching her wounds ❤️

thank you so much i am from India i could not find it anywhere not even online thanks my boy got hurt in accident and lost his leg we tried everything but every time wound close to healing he reopen his wound again and sorry for my bad English and you got subscriber thanks again

This is so creative. If you're fitting this on a dog, always treat them as you do it, and after you're finished. Makes a world of difference.

Thank you. Our pup just injured his ear and we needed a way to keep him from scratching at it! Thank god for youtube, duct tape, and cardboard!

Thanks for the display and to see how easy it is to make. Making your own cost less than 15% what vets charge. Greetings from South Africa.

My dog got a hotspot hind his ear and he needs to be e collared. I find this DIY tutor is helpful, so easy and very useful. This is the cheapest alternative. Thanks

thank you so much for this, a dog we rescued off the streets keeps getting hotspots, she is very old. And where she was before wasn't treated well at all. We made homemade hot spot solution but she is getting use to it. this is gonna help so much

Hi, Thanks from England. I got home and found my dog had ripped the inside of his ear and he made a right bloody mess (not swearing). Really glad your video came up first it was no non-sense quick and easy and worked perfectly. Thanks for taking the time to make it. Richard

This was awesome! I loved how you used a shoe string to secure it. I have Velcro strips that I'm going to try for April! Her incision site came open this morning from when she got fixed

Thank you very much. You would figure having owned a E-Collar in the past I would know how to make one. Nope I went ahead and tried the towel around the neck with leash watching other videos here on RU-vid. The towel collar no good. He took it off like nothing. I had to finally order one online and since it wont arrive until next week I need something quick. Your video saved the day. You are a true genius.

THANK YOU FOR THIS! My German shepherd cut his paw and this worked in a pinch until I can get him to the vets

Thank you! This was so helpful. Was wondering what I was going to do until the vet appointment tomorrow afternoon. Works great,such a relief! :-)

My boy is losing all of his fur due to stress and a food allergy and keeps chewing. I just started a new job but don't have the money for a plastic collar yet so this is exactly what I needed and covering it in duct tape should make it pretty durable for a while while he gets better. Thank you for helping me!!!

I have to make 2, so I'll be saving some bucks. Thanks for the great video.

This came out great! And the process was actually a lot easier than I thought. Thanks!!

Very Nice! Well versed, spoken, and filmed. I hope no snow damaged your collar, The snowman...

Thanks for this! This really really helps me because i am in the very far flung mountain and that the market is very far from here where i can buy the e collar. I dont have yet budget to go down town and this video really help! Kinda depressed Lately because i am not in the civilized area where needed tools and medicine were available in the vicinity. Luckily i have some antiseptic povidone iodine where i can treat my dog's hot spot but i dont have e collar where i can control my dog's licking and biting on its skin.luckily i bumbed into this video as i was searching online for home remedies. Thanks and Godbless! :)

That's a beautiful baby!! Love pits!!!

Thanks for the video I don't have the money to get one right now so I thought just made someone made a video on how to make one yours was the best one I found :)

Thank you very much, this was really helpful... My little cat just went out of surgery and I'm going to try your technique. Seriously, thank you for sharing. :)

You're a lifesaver. I searched a lot to buy one for my cat who is going to get spayed soon. We both are Indians, and I couldn't find one good collar. Thanks a lot for helping me make a custom collar, tailor made for her. :D

Thank you so much! I got my cat spayed and I could not find a collar that fits! This is so helpful.

Thank you, had watched like 5 other videos in Spanish and measures weren't at all clear...so I said let's see one in English and got a really nice cone, greetings fron Uruguay

Awesome! Had an emergency and needed a cone fast, this worked like a charm!! Thank you!

reminds me of so many poor animals I have owned, but they had a good dad :-) I hate to see animals in pain, kills me... great video Pet!

Thanks for the video. I can't tell you how many times this would have come in handy last winter. Our Lab/Rottie Mix has hip problems exacerbated by the cold and he wanted to chew his back end. I think I'm going to look for some plastic and try to make one from that. Again, thank you.

Thank you! I noticed some sores around my dog's nose and didn't have a proper cone of shame around, but it was too late to go get one. He gets allergies around this time of year, and we recently moved (and his meds weren't working). Just needed something that would last the night.

I think this is a creative idea however, I have a dog that needs to wear one when I am not home because he constantly digs at his ears, face and eyes and my vet and I feel its best at this time to use a cone on him. He would ruin this cardboard cone in one night. I buy the hard plastic ones from my vet for $13. Each one gets wrapped in electrical tape around the loops the collar goes through because his nails sheer the hard plastic when he scratches over the cone. Each lasts me a couple months.

Love that stringing the collar through it idea! I actually have an e-collar that I bought at Petsmart. The problem is that my baby has a barrel of a neck and so it was enormous and too difficult to keep on. I never even thought about stringing a collar through it and we have a bazillion zip-ties, so that'll be how I do it next time. I am making a serious note here for future use! I am SO enjoying your videos!

Thanks so much. Great job explaining and demonstrating. Please thank your dog also. He is so cute.

Thanks for the video. Fido started scratching his ears raw, so I just made him a 'cone of shame'. He has an ear infection, which is being treated, but its still so itchy. thanks again

Thank you for this video! My 12-pound Chihuahua mix won't stop eating the small pin oak acorns in the back yard so I'm hoping this will stop her if I make it longer than her snout. She will only need it while we're outside.

That is very creative:) This will work great when you're in a pinch and in real need of an E-collar..Thanks!

that dog is adorable he needed a big kiss for being a good boy! :) thanks for sharing

Even after 8 YEARS this is really helpful, Thank you #PetPrepper

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much!!! This worked brilliantly on my hyperactive little dog! Thanks again!

Thank u so much for sharing this, I will make one for my puppy.

I KNEW there had to be a way to do this! Thank you for the tutorial!

I immediately made this for my shih tzu after watching. Thank You very much.

GREAT job!!! 😻👍🐕 From....Vet tech CA

hi , thanks for video really it was useful i live in a little village in iran so there isnt any shop here and if i oreder it in internet it would take lots of time , you saved my dog's eye . thanks alot

oh thanks so much! my dogs a medium mongrel and between sizes, so this is perfect! he had an abcess and now has a drain on his ear, now we can sleep in peace without him scaring us trying to get it out!

Might I suggest applying some of those sticky velcro strips right where you drew the line. that way it can be easily wrapped around and secured quickly without having to use the loops to attach to the collar.

Wow, thank you. And thanks for watching

You are really ingenious! Thank you so much for your excellent video.

Thank you

Oh me too. Thank you so much for watching

Thank you! I'm unemployed, had help spaying my puppy. She's licking her site & I can't afford to buy one. Now I can make her one.

Thank you, I made one and it looks great I wish I could but the picture here. I had bought one at Petsmart and it was $22 and now I can return .

Thank you for this tutorial. I would coat the entire cone in duct tape to make it water proof, therefore reusable in the future. Dogs are slobbery, as are cats when navigating water dishes and attempting to lick while wearing the cone, so this will allow you to wipe it clean and store it for the future. . Along that same train of thought, you could also make an entire cone out of duct tape. You could start with a paper or cloth template, cover both sides, cut to shape and finish the edges with more tape. You could make it adjustable by punching a series of holes that you could lace shut at whatever size is needed, then tie the last 2 or 3 holes off with heavy duty elastic if you were worried about neck safety, or use the 2 finger method to properly tie it off with the same lacing. Just a few thoughts as I research how to clean my Kong brand flexible cat cone that I have had to Gorilla tape because the material had worn away where my cat had scratched at her neck. The second cat to wear this blue material cone has an abscessed tooth, but was wearing it due to an injury under his eye. His breath is terrible and the drool and food that has stained the cone has left it smelling awful! I can not submerge the material due to the tape, and of course I do not want to coat the odor with useless and toxic products like Fabreeze. If you have any suggestions on how to neutralize the cone, please let me know. I know that this is completely off topic but industrious people tend to have the best ideas. Thank you for sharing your video!

Thanks so much! I really needed one for my cat and luckily had all the materials laying around the house!!

thank you for sharing this video, now i have no problem where to buy that e-collar... ^_^ thanks.!

Such a good Dog !! Great vid !

A suggestion, to lock the collar, i used velcro, and it worked flawlessly.

I am so glad this video helped! Thank you so very much

your dog is sooo cute

Ohmyghosh! Thank you so much for this 😇 its a great help

Thank you!

Well thank you, that was a nice thing to say. I hope it turns out great

LOL to all of it, but I would love to see pix of your dog. Gonna go see if you have videos as I type. Thank you so much and man oh man aren't they great dogs? He makes me laugh EVERY day!

Thanks. This helped us out in a pinch.

Thank you very much. It's very useful for me.

excellent info

Well geee, like I said I had the vinyl, I didn't use rolls upon rolls of tape, but have rolls upon rolls stored, and plates upon plates stored, not sure why your plastic milk cartons become brittle that fast, but I have a bunch of them that haven't become brittle at all in over a year and a half, there is this really cool thing called solar power!!!! You should check it out or better yet just poke holes in the stupid cardboard with a screw driver. Thanks for the comment and good luck!

I didn't end up needing to make one now, but will keep this vid handy if I do.

Awww at 9:00 your dog is like " Awww mom why you do this to me?" Lol genius by the way!! I really needed this tutorial! My dog has a cracked paw and is limping around.. Any suggestions!!!!???? It's her back paw and she keeps biting it too! I'm gonna try this e-collar and wrapping the paw but I'm no professional so I can use the advice!

Thank you soooo much for taking the time to do this video tryuly helpful im going to try it today

THANK YOUUU! We're dogsitting and Chewbacca tried to rip his own face off today because his allergy medicine obviously isn't working. You ROCK!

Thanks for this great idea!

Thank you! Tank is NOT gonna love it but I will. Hopefully a end to the paw-licking hot spots.

great video I love you videos before I found them I worried about our furry friends. I now feel allot better about being able to help them. Please keep the great videos

Thats a great idea. I wonder if there is a strong odor after it dries

This is good info! Thank you!

Thanks for your idea

Pretty cool great job thanks for sharing

Thank you first of all and I hope your dogs foot heals. Clean it well, treat it and go watch my dog making video. The vet clinic I work for buys single boots from me for exactly the reason you talked about. Thanks again

:) Thank you so much.

Awesome job! It helped me and my Bella. We thank you :-)

He is a good boy, not happy, but good lol. Thank you

My owner made this for me it fits good

Thanks for watching

Thanks so much, wasn't sure how to measure it. But it might be easier to staple the tabs for the collar to the cardboard, rather than tape them. :-)

Did you watch the sizing or the small animal part of the video?

Well done. Will give it a try. I am not happy with the plastic cone I bought.

gracias!

will this work on my cat?

wow thanks, i wish i would have watched this before i went spent $20 at the pet store on a inflatable one. lol

You're welcome

Thanks hun
