Great for the dogs that trash them but not for the complete Houdinis who persistently wriggle out of them. Though I do find attaching an ordinary buster collar to a harness rather than a neck collar very effective.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/205529?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 05 Dec 2018 16:20:57 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:e4547d22-e9e4-4c49-b830-fe49d2c2b227Silvia Maldonado<p>While looking for alternative options, I found this picture that made me laugh&nbsp;<img src="/emoticons/v2/Very_happy_smiley.png" alt="Very happy" />&nbsp;<a href="/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/161/muzzle.jpeg"><img src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/696x0/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/161/muzzle.jpeg" border="0" alt=" " /></a></p> <p>(I guess the dog doesn&#39;t find it so funny&nbsp;<img src="/emoticons/v2/Eye_rolling_smiley.gif" alt="Exasperated" /> )</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/205495?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 04 Dec 2018 22:54:29 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:f80f57f6-3190-44cd-9a29-b59fe3074147Sammy82<p>I used to make/advise bodysuits for cats made from an old sock by cutting the tip off and making holes for the legs and tail. Worked pretty well for smallish cats, cheap and disposable if it was getting soiled.&nbsp; As a new grad I made one for my cat after spaying her to prevent the silver spray we routinely used staining my lino. I thought at the time it was my own novel idea until I learned in my next job that I wasn&#39;t the one who came up with it first. Was told to stop advising it and rather sell them an MPS shirt in the next job. Sorry no photos at hand.&nbsp; I made a vest version for my other cat much later to cover a wound between his shoulder blades he kept scratching.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/205481?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 04 Dec 2018 15:36:40 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:c34524a4-4021-4ef2-af28-a6f66a12e78aArlo Guthrie<p>Bump .... anyone?&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
