It does not restrict access to the legs, head, or tail, making it most suitable for upper body wounds where the pet is not particularly determined to get to the injury, as recommended by the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ2: How do I inflate the Calm Paws Inflatable Collar?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e The collar uses a no-leak air valve that requires you to pinch the valve firmly while blowing air in. Continue inflating until the collar holds a firm, supportive shape. Without pinching the valve, air will not enter the bladder. If the collar loses air, re-inflate using the same technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ3: What is the X-Small size suitable for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e The X-Small Inflatable Collar fits pets with a nose-to-neck length of 0-4.5 inches and a neck girth of 0-6 inches. It is suitable for both small dogs and cats. Use the Calm Paws sizing tool at calmpaws.com to confirm correct sizing; size up if your pet falls between measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ4: Can I use the Inflatable Collar for my cat as well as my dog?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The X-Small inflatable collar is specifically sized to fit both small dogs and cats. The manufacturer confirms the extra-small size fits cats. The same product can serve multiple pets in a household, and the Calming Disk is effective for both dogs and cats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ5: What is the Calming Disk included with the collar?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Calming Disk is an essential oil disk infused with lavender and valerian, formulated specifically for dogs. It secures to the collar strap and releases calming scents throughout the recovery period. The disk lasts up to 21 days; replacement disks are sold separately by Calm Paws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ6: How do I attach the Inflatable Collar to my pet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e After inflating, insert your pet's regular collar through the inner ring loops on the inside of the inflatable collar. Fasten your pet's regular collar as you normally would and adjust the strap at the opening of the inflatable collar. The everyday collar anchors the inflatable collar securely in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ7: Can my pet eat, drink, and sleep while wearing the Inflatable Collar?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The inflatable design allows much better peripheral vision and freedom of movement than a traditional plastic cone. Pets can eat, drink, sleep, and crate comfortably while wearing the inflatable collar, making it a preferred choice when the wound location allows for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ8: When should I use the Inflatable Collar instead of an E-Collar?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e The manufacturer recommends the inflatable collar when the pet's wound is on the upper body, when the pet is not overly determined to access the wound, or after a few days of healing, when a harder cone may no longer be necessary. For leg, tail, or head wounds, an e-collar provides better coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Calm Paws","offers":[{"title":"X-Small","offer_id":46334372413601,"sku":"CP-060018","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small","offer_id":46334372446369,"sku":"CP-060019","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":46334372479137,"sku":"CP-060020","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large","offer_id":46334372511905,"sku":"CP-060021","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"X-Large","offer_id":46334372544673,"sku":"Cp-060022","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0593\/2446\/5313\/files\/calm-paws-inflatable-protective-collar-for-dogs-cats-x-small-dog-950.jpg?v=1778018167","url":"https:\/\/hordypaw.shop\/products\/calm-paws-inflatable-protective-collar-for-dogs-and-cats","provider":"HardyPaw","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
