This is a soft-type Elizabethan collar for dogs. I purchased it for my dachshund, and used it only once for a short period, but I am selling it because the size didn't fit. It has hardly been used, and there are no noticeable stains or tears. Because it is made of a soft material, it has the following features: - Doesn't easily scratch furniture or floors - Less stressful than hard types - Lightweight and easy to put on It is easy to put on and take off with Velcro.
