MDC Exports has launched a new Soft E Collar specifically designed to help greyhounds recover, post-op.

MDC says the new Soft E Collar has been designed to take into account a greyhound's long fragile neck and to make wearing a medical collar much more comfortable. It also features a drawstring design to prevent the animal from being able to back out of the collar, something the company says is a particular problem when greyhounds wear conventional collars.

According to MDC, the Soft E Collar acts as an effective barrier to a treatment area while ensuring an animal can eat, drink and sleep comfortably. It allows free movement of the head, neck and body so the animal can carry on as normal. And unlike traditional "Elizabethan" collars, the Soft E Collar is made out of soft fabric that is non-allergenic, non-toxic and water repellent. It is tough and easily able to withstand persistent clawing and chewing. Lastly, it is lightweight and very flexible, folding flat for ease of storage and springing back to its original shape when you are ready to use it.

The Soft E Collar for greyhounds is priced from £7.95. For more information visit http://www.mdcexports.co.uk/
