This problem, called pica, is defined as. Not only is the soft collar more flexible but it has the added benefit of being washable and more durable. Some animals have developed unusual eating habits, such as rocks, wood, plastic, strings, rubber bands, and more. You can buy these before your dog comes home. There are a couple of different types of alternative collars like the Comfy Cone or the ProCollar. This works really well for head injuries where you are just trying to keep the dog from scratching their ear, nose or face. My Puppy Chews on Everything - Including the Blinds Many dogs, especially as puppies, will chew on anything in sight. The 'leave it' command is perfect for this problem. Prevent this issue altogether by teaching your dog to stay calm in exciting situations. Dogs will be dogs, and chewing is one of their passions. For most dogs, the cone doesn’t actually need to go much beyond your dog’s nose. Keep blinds raised part-way to allow your pooch to see out and avoid damage. If you decide to stay with the hard plastic cone, you can trim the cone.
(One time he actually jumped the fence and when running down the street … with a plastic cone on his head and 30+ staples in his stomach!) Two potential solutions come to mind: One of them tries to go through the doggie door with it on, the other actually moves furniture around with the cone! He walks by the table, the table leg catches on the plastic cone, and he just keeps going! Next thing you know the table is being pushed across the floor.
Our dogs never quite seem to get used to them. And if your dog has a taste for plastic, like video game controllers or action figures, get a Nylabone or Busy Buddy Bone ( the Busy Buddy has edible components, which encourages your dog to stick with it longer) 5. This is to keep them from chewing on their stitches or scratching them in the case of head injuries. A dog who loves gnawing on pencils (like my Friday, Dog rest her soul) will like beef tendon sticks. After surgery, your vet will usually give you (or sell you) a large plastic cone to put around your dog’s neck.
