How to Use

Fitting Instructions

• Measure Before Purchasing: Measure your dog's nose-to-neck length (base of neck to tip of nose) and neck girth; use the size chart to confirm the correct size.
• Thread the Everyday Collar: Insert your dog's regular collar through the inner ring loops located on the inside of the Caring Collar before fastening the collar to your dog.
• Fasten Your Dog's Regular Collar: Secure your dog's everyday collar as you normally would; this anchors the Caring Collar securely and prevents rotation or slipping.
• Use the EasyFeed Flap for Meals: Open the patented EasyFeed flap by pulling it away from its secured position to allow your dog to eat and drink; re-secure after each meal.
• Insert the Calming Disk: Place the included Calming Disk into the calming pocket and secure it in place; the disk releases essential oils continuously for up to 21 days.
• Allow Brief Supervised Rest Breaks: Remove briefly during monitored periods to allow fur and skin to breathe and prevent moisture buildup, then re-secure when unattended.

Additional Information

Precautions

• Recommended for Passive Dogs: The soft fabric construction can be bent by more aggressive dogs; a hard Calming E-Collar is recommended for stronger or more determined chewers.
• Measure Accurately: Use the Calm Paws sizing tool at calmpaws.com before purchasing; an incorrect size reduces protection effectiveness and may be uncomfortable for your dog.
• Full Coverage Collar: This collar provides full body coverage, including legs, tail, and ears; for body-only coverage with better mobility, consider the inflatable collar instead.
• Consult Your Veterinarian: Always follow your veterinarian's guidance on the appropriate recovery collar type for your dog's wound location and temperament.

Care and Maintenance

• Replace Calming Disk at 21 Days: Each Calming Disk provides up to 21 days of calming support. When it runs out, replacement disks can be purchased separately to keep your dog calm and comfortable throughout the healing period.
• Clean the Outer Material: Wipe the heavy-duty outer material regularly to maintain hygiene; the grime-repelling surface makes cleaning easier during extended recovery use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the Calm Paws Caring Collar designed for?

Ans: The Calm Paws Caring Collar is a soft fabric recovery e-collar designed to prevent dogs from accessing wounds, surgical sites, or irritated areas on their body, tail, legs, and ears. It is recommended during the post-surgery recovery phase when a surgical collar is prescribed, providing full-body coverage in a comfortable format.

Q2: What is the EasyFeed flap, and how does it work?

Ans: The EasyFeed flap is a built-in section of the collar that can be opened so your dog can eat and drink without having to remove the collar. Simply pull the flap open before mealtime and re-secure it afterward. This eliminates the need to fully remove the collar every time your dog needs to eat or drink.

Q3: What size is the X-Small Caring Collar for?

Ans: The X-Small Caring Collar with a neck size of 6-9 inches fits dogs with a nose-to-neck length of 0-4.75 inches and a neck girth of 6-9 inches. Use the Calm Paws sizing tool at calmpaws.com to confirm the right fit; measuring accurately before purchasing is essential for proper wound protection.

Q4: What essential oils are in the Calming Disk included with the collar?

Ans: The Calming Disk included with the Caring Collar uses lavender and valerian essential oils, specifically formulated for dogs. The disk releases these oils continuously for up to 21 days, helping keep your dog calm and relaxed throughout the recovery period. Replacement disks are available separately.

Q5: What type of dog is the Caring Collar best suited for?

Ans: The manufacturer recommends the Caring Collar for more passive dogs. The soft, flexible fabric construction can be bent or pushed aside by more aggressive or determined dogs. For stronger, more energetic dogs, the hard Calm Paws Calming E-Collar provides a more durable and secure recovery collar option.

Q6: How does the Caring Collar compare to the Inflatable Collar?

Ans: The Caring Collar provides full body coverage, including the legs, tail, and ears, while the inflatable collar provides body-only coverage. The Caring Collar is a soft fabric cone design, while the inflatable collar allows better peripheral vision. The Caring Collar is the better choice for wounds on the legs, ears, or tail.

Q7: Can my dog wear the Caring Collar while sleeping and crating?

Ans: Yes. The soft, comfortable inner lining and flexible fabric construction make the Caring Collar suitable for wearing during sleep and creating. The manufacturer confirms fabric e-collars can be worn during sleeping and crating, providing comfort without the hard edges of a traditional plastic cone.

Q8: How is the Caring Collar secured to my dog?

Ans: Thread your dog's regular, everyday collar through the inner ring loops on the inside of the Caring Collar before securing. Fasten your dog's collar as normal; this anchors the Caring Collar firmly in place and prevents it from rotating or falling off during activity, sleep, or rest.
