Hi all, my boy has an underwing plucking issue going on for couple of months and vet gaved us a plastic e-collar. In the country where i live there is no other collars than plastic so i made my sweety a soft collar because plastic one cuts his neck skin 😭 He is really comfy in his collar and i thought, i should make more to give the vet so babies in need gets some comfort 😭😭 Vet really liked the idea so im making them. Just wanted to share for people who wants to make their own. Just cut a 10,5 cm diametered circle from bird safe felt and and add another layer for thickness, sew them together open a small neck area and decorate them how you want. Thats it ✨

Typically how large is the neck area? That’s what I struggle with. Also do you need Velcro to stick together?

Its 2,5 - 3 cm and no i use staple to stick them together. Dont worry its safe you just be careful while doing it. One for inner circle and one for outer edge.
