Cone Of Shame Dogs Well-Being

By Alta Alexander


There are several reasons for dogs to end up wearing one of these, and it is most often after being Spayed or neutered to prevent chewing the stitches. Sometimes doggies get injured, and it stops them from disturbing the stitches or chewing on the wound. You can easily help them through this ordeal by just making the collar enjoyable. Here are a few ideas to make sure your dog is not among the Cone Of Shame Dogs.

Making them fun. First options include adding lightweight toys that can not hurt your pet but offer a diversion from the added complication of a big round thing around their neck. Use soft, lightweight cotton ropes and staple them around the outer edge, so your dog can toss its head from side to side and have fun trying to catch the rope.

Soft stuffed animals are also a winner with most canines, and these are just as easy to staple along the outermost rim of the cone. Try to mount them so that when your dog takes a nap, the lovely little soft item is enjoyable to cuddling. Any soft object is also a possibility for both fun and comfort.

Space Cadet, a term most often used for dogs that are super active and do silly things, are also dogs who love watching Sci-Fi with their owners. A perfect time to add space related drawings and toys to help your dog identify with an enjoyable experience. Put some planets around the edges, draw a rocket in the mix and add streamers for the exhaust flare.

Flowers are always pleasant scenery regardless of the time of year. Some big daisy petals around the outer edge help your dog look happy. Be creative and come up with other flowers and blooming options to spruce up the cone, while spending time with your dog. They love all the attention and know that when you laugh, you are happy. This makes them happy, too.

Other lovely designs offer a large selection of ideas from painting on mustaches to giants bows. Just use non-toxic paints and liquids to protect your dog from poisoning. Remember that dogs love attention making this an excellent time to practice learning commands. Stay, Sit and Down are perfect for this time of recovery.

Does your dog do impersonations? Either way the cone makes a perfect backdrop for experimenting with different characters. Perhaps something from history, or a TV series your dog always watches. Make some fake ears out of old stuffed toys, or add a beard from a tattered crochet throw. Try something different and brilliant to help ease their boredom and shame. They love all the attention you give them, so make it count while you can.

No one likes it when his or her pet is injured or ill, and certainly the pets do not enjoy it. Just because they must wear this cone shaped device does not mean they have to feel shame. Take into consideration the reason for wearing the cone, and adjust the activities accordingly. If time is a problem, you can find these collars for sale and quickly get to the fun with all the work already done.
