When a dog is recovering from surgery or nursing a wound, preventing them from interfering with the healing site is essential — but that does not have to mean a stressful plastic cone. The Ortocanis Cervical Immobilizer Collar is a padded, supportive alternative that gently limits neck movement, stopping small and medium-sized dogs from reaching their paws, abdomen, chest, flanks, rump, base of the tail, and genitals.

Made with soft, breathable materials and designed with the dog's comfort in mind, this collar allows your pet to rest, sleep, eat, and move around the home without the disorientation and anxiety that cones so often cause. It is widely used in veterinary rehabilitation settings and is trusted by pet owners and professionals across Europe.

Ortocanis is a specialist brand focused on orthopaedic and rehabilitation products for dogs and cats. Their products are developed with input from veterinary professionals and are built to support real recovery — not just get in the way of it.

N/A

Measure your dog's neck circumference and neck length before fitting. Select the appropriate size using the Ortocanis sizing guide. Place the collar around your dog's neck and secure it so it is snug but comfortable — you should be able to slide two fingers beneath it. Check that your dog cannot bend their neck far enough to reach the wound site. Monitor your dog during the initial fitting period and check the collar regularly for correct positioning. Remove for cleaning as directed and inspect the skin beneath the collar daily for any signs of rubbing or irritation. Always follow your vet's guidance on recovery and collar use duration.

Keep out of reach of children. Always supervise your dog during the initial period of use. Do not leave a poorly fitting collar unattended. Check the skin beneath the collar daily for signs of rubbing, redness, or irritation. If any adverse reaction occurs, remove the collar and consult your veterinarian. Store in a clean, dry location away from direct sunlight when not in use. Hand wash with mild detergent and allow to dry fully before reuse.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

This cervical immobilizer collar is designed for small and medium-sized dogs. It works across most breeds within that size range. If you are unsure whether it is the right fit for your dog, check the sizing guide or contact our team for advice before ordering.

Unlike a traditional plastic cone, this collar works by gently restricting neck movement rather than creating a physical barrier around the head. This means your dog can still eat, drink, and sleep far more comfortably, while still being prevented from reaching wounds on the body. Many dogs settle much more quickly in a cervical collar than in a plastic cone.

Yes. Because the collar supports and limits neck movement rather than encasing the head, most dogs are able to eat and drink from their bowls without the collar needing to be removed. You may need to raise food and water bowls slightly depending on your dog's size and the fit of the collar.

Sizing is based on your dog's neck circumference and the length of their neck. Measure carefully before ordering using a soft tape measure, and refer to the Ortocanis sizing chart provided on the product page. A correctly fitted collar should be snug but not tight, with no gaps that would allow your dog to bend their neck and reach the wound site.
