Why the inflatable e collar did not work for our border collie/great pyrenees mix

[ddhayes6]

I just had the exact same experience just 10 minutes ago with my rottweiler who has an infected hind leg pinky toe. This inflatable collar didn't prevent her from reaching that toe at all. It's a good thing I had also bought an e-collar as well just in case. Now just hoping she doesn't figure out how to squeeze her head out of it.

This type of collar is not meant to be used for legs and tails. It is only a cervical collar and will not keep a dog from getting to those body parts. It is best used for the main part of the body only.

I bought this recently when my golden retriever had a hot spot on his face and it worked well for that, but I noticed he was able to reach his back end quite easily.
