I bought an inflatable collar for Dolly earlier this year. It is hard to
inflate the first time because the plastic bladder inside is compressed to put
in the box. I took it to Costco tire center and asked them to put some air in
it. It was quick and worked well.
Dolly didn't mind it at all and she wore it for two weeks. A couple months
ago when Desi started his allergies and scratched fur around his eyes and ears
off, I put the collar on him. I think he loves it so much because I am trying
to wean him off, but have to put it on at night and he comes running to me to
put it on. It is a small investment and they no longer have to bob their heads
back and forth like they do with the traditional eCollar.
