My dog with his "floatie" aka his cone alternative around his neck

Dunkin as an old man ready to go to the pool
socks hiked up - check
floatie - check
towel - check

Let's just say I'm happy we're T-7 days until he gets his stiches out!
Re: For Brandy
LOL! Agree!
I'm not Brandy, but...
Wow. That is a fancy "cone". My dogs got a elizabethan colar. It seriously looked like a lampshade. (think Santa's little helper)
He started off with the cone and he hated it. He kept bumping into things which ended up scaring him to the point he was afraid to walk. A CW of mine told me about the bloat up floatie so we ended up deciding to give that a try. It has the same concept of the cone where its suppose to prevent them from getting to their stitches but instead of restricting them vertically its suppose to do it horizontally. Great concept except he could still get to them so H wrapped the towel around it to hold his neck up more.
How's this?
hee hee that's oscar.
Noush-poor Dunkin, you're almost done with it though. He's a cutie even with all that business on him
Brandy- I adore Oscar
