What’s An Elizabethan Dog Collar?

I had to laugh when I was instructed by my vet to use an “Elizabethan dog collar” if my dog started scratching his stitches post surgery. I’ve seen Cate Blanchett’s stunning performance in Elizabeth. The term sounded extremely dignified. Here’s what I pictured.

And here’s what an Elizabethan dog collar is.

It’s a plastic cone collar. I guess I get the Elizabethan reference, but it’s hardly as dignified. Although if need be, I was prepared to tell my beloved pet that he would be wearing the attire of Kings and Queens.

Luckily, my pooch left his stitches alone, but I did find a different style Elizabethan online that looked like a better option than the cone. It’s the ProCollar Inflatable. At least with this one the dog’s vision isn’t impaired nor is their ability to eat and drink. To shop for Elizabethan dog collars check out bizrate.com.
