all right we're here to demonstrate the use of an Elizabethan collar and how to put one together and how to put it on the dog and why the reason why is we want the dog's head to be controlled so that we're able to have him not reach the part of his body by either flank or an incision or bandage and he can't lick or chew on it or remove stitches so this is why we put them on a dog they come in two types they come in two clear and the frosty this one is a clear so the dog can see he doesn't lose his peripheral vision as much with the frosty you can't see what straight ahead and goes into a tunnel vision situation by the water step to put one together and take the measurement of the dog and then you just loop the loops through in and out according to the size this has one size to a size three sizes the size your first of the neck the this is the part that's important that it's going to be beyond the dog's nose if it's the nose is here the dog can still do damage if it's in here you can't do anything then a loop or a collar is put through the loops here and then it's put on the dog in this tie in place like the cooking shows we even have one ready this would be a clear type this would be a type that comes with a Velcro and the velcro is movable and you put it to where you want it and then you cut the excess off this is a little large for him would you see that it's much clearer and you can see through it it's not a model that I particularly like here we have one already made it's a bit small for George little use for demonstration we have the size of the crawler size of the head and push it onto the dog's head it's got to be a tight fit it can't be a slack fit fully ears through if it's too slack up it will come off too easily you see that it's pretty tight on the dog to make it stay on the dog that you can't pull it off we're going to run up a God's true helping George help me yeah see if we put the guys I'll double the guys up to give it strength release it through each of the loops that we made for the garden George Bush and then we will type we use whoops we use a bomb to type we don't use a any other type of not and it's got to be tied relatively tight not enough but just tight on the dog so that the dog hasn't tight enough he cannot slip it over his head the idea is it's supposed to stay on the dog if it's not on the dog is not doing this function dogs with a longer one this is a little short for George with a longer one they have to learn how to eat and drink because they have to put the hood over the bowl so there's a certain learning curve for the dog when he puts it on it's not meant to hurt the dog it's not meant to to be mean to the dog in any way it is meant as a control method of keeping the teeth and the tongue away from a part of the body which the dog is interested in licking or chewing on thank you very much stretch take it off you slide it over the head and it just comes off over there this one's a little tight a George I made a little tight for demonstration you're too small to dog George there you go did you live through the experience yeah here have a cookie
