Features & Benefits

The Saf-T-Shield™ e-collar is a time-tested solution trusted by veterinary professionals for over 60 years. Specifically designed for dogs, this durable recovery cone offers superior protection and comfort during post-surgical care, wound healing, and injury management. Constructed from thick, slightly heavier polyethylene, the Saf-T-Shield™ provides added rigidity and coverage, making it especially effective for large breeds and long-nosed dogs that require a wider, more secure barrier.

The cone features full-body coverage to prevent dogs from licking, biting, or scratching surgical sites or skin conditions. Two layers of neck padding enhance comfort during extended wear, while rust-proof snap locks make application fast and secure, even for wiggly or strong patients. The sturdy build and added width of this cone also help maintain shape and stability, giving veterinarians and pet owners peace of mind.

Whether you’re managing orthopedic recovery, dermatologic issues, or routine spay and neuter aftercare, the Saf-T-Shield™ is the go-to protective collar for dogs that need strong, reliable coverage.
