The Novaguard has been designed as an alternative to the Elizabethan Collar or Buster Collar. This alternative allows the animal 85% greater freedom of movement. It fits comfortably on the animals head not unlike a baseball cap and moves with the animal rather than just hanging loosely around the animals neck.
Product Details:
- Designed to create a barrier to stop the animal accessing wounds or other conditions and after surgery or trauma
- Made from semitransparent polypropylene plastic
- Toy & Miniature sizes are a soft transparent PVC plastic
- Incorporates a head rest which cushions and allows space between the inner surface of the Vizor and the animals face allowing for greater air flow and comfort
- Provision has been made for animals with larger heads by adjusting the side strap, which increases the opening size for animals with a greater collar size
- Peel off lines on the snout of the Novaguard have been incorporated as an adjustment means for animals with a shorter snout. (Simply snip and peel off).
- Easily cleaned with warm soapy water and dried with a towel
- Accommodates dogs with a prominent occipital bone
- Ears are outside the vizor, which eliminates the possibility of ear and yeast infection due to moisture
- Also eliminates the possibility of disorientation to the patient after eye surgery due to the echo effect caused by the existing E collar

"This collar has literally saved my sanity! My greyhound had to have limb removal surgery and completely freaked out wearing the traditional e-collar! Because Greyhounds heads are smaller than their necks, it's quite difficult to find anything that will stay on. After a lot of research , I stumbled across the Novaguard! It is amazing and my greyhound doesn't freak out when he wears it like he did with the e-collar!
I have told all my greyhound groups about this collar! Its a life saver!"

"I have whippets and this is an outstanding E collar even for long thin neck dogs. It is comfort for them and was long enough to accommodate their narrow muzzles. Fyi a small was large enough for an adult male whippet."

"I really, really like the concept of this collar. Much better design that the normal Cone of Shame. However, the plastic shield is too thin to contain my dog from biting his hock area. So I screwed up on my first order and cut the shield to what I thought was an good length and he got right to his wound. I ordered another one and kept the original length.. That didn't work either. So I inserted the first shield into the second and secured it with duck tape. It works!!! My vet was impressed"

"The concept for the Novaguard Recovery Collar is brilliant but be careful in size ordering. I ordered a small for our 20lb chihuahua/min-pin but it was too big. Weve decided that since the price was reasonable and we didnt want the hassle of returning that we will modify it ourselves for next time. Also, we ordered this because our dog had eye surgery. Putting ointment in his every would be difficult while hes wearing this. It will be ideal for this summer when he gets his allergies and chews himself. Overall, we are satisfied. I would buy this again."

"All other types of E-collars should be banned. My dog Sam had to have a toe amputated and of course had to wear the cone of shame. He had a hard time navigating around furniture and around door ways and would constantly catch the cone on them. Consequently, it got to the point that he didnt want to move very much when wearing it. Feeling sad for poor Sam, I searched for an alternative and came upon the Novaguard collar. The price was very reasonable compared to other alternatives that are out there. Assembling the Novaguard was not hard at all, just make sure it is cut to the proper length. What a difference it made for Sam. He no longer kept his head down looking at the floor and he doesnt bump into objects any more. The big advantage lies in the fact that the dogs ears are not covered by the cone so he hears normally. Also the cone is made of a clearer material than others and is of a smaller diameter at the snout. Sam hardly new he was wearing it. I highly recommend this product."
