Description

An Elizabethan collar designed for cats, dogs and small animals in soft but durable fabric. Unlike other collars, the SoftE absorbs noise making it very well tolerated.

  • Effective barrier to self-trauma
  • Washable
  • Well tolerated

The SoftE Smart Collar is made of padded fabric and provides an effective barrier to licking or pulling at sutures or self-trauma of wounds. The material is uncoated non-woven fabric, which is non-allergenic, non-toxic and water resistant. The fabric protects furniture and owner’s legs whilst allowing the free movement of the patient’s head and neck so that they can walk, eat, drink and sleep in comfort aiding a quick recovery. Very simple to use, it features a drawstring design enabling a precise and secure fit. Unlike traditional Elizabethan collars, the SoftE Smart Collar is flexible, lightweight, folds flat for easy storage and springs back into shape when needed. Ideal for use in practice, this collar doesn’t bang or bash against kennels or cages. It absorbs noise and making it very well tolerated by ophthalmic, aural, nasal and other head sensitive patients.

Great product
Verified Purchase

By Stephanie Chippendale on 23 April 2026

I have used this product a number of times for my dogs when they have had an injury/illness that needs protection. Great to protect the face and front end of the animal. As it is soft is is a kind product. However, I would not recommend the protect for post op were stitches are involved, but fine to protect the are once stitches removed. I always keep one in stock!!

Comfier option
Verified Purchase

By Laura-Jane Stokes on 20 October 2025

Was far preferable to the huge cone the vet gave us. Cat was still unhappy but more able to move with less restrictions. The plastic seal could do with being smaller or covered by some softer fabric.

SoftE collar
Verified Purchase

By Alison Hartley on 19 September 2025

This was far too big for my cat. I had previously purchased the first size of this product and it was tiny, so my cat could still reach her wound. I purchased the next size up, which was enormous, she couldn’t walk as it touched the floor and she had a bad fall jumping while wearing it. I tried to alter the collar but it was just too big. I’ve now fashioned a baby bib for her which is working well.

Great alternative to a buster collar
Verified Purchase

By Louise Haywood-Smyth on 17 August 2025

We bought this as our cat to stop him getting to a wound on his hock that wasn't healing. He is still able to eat and drink with it on, although the collar does get slightly damp, but dries quickly. When we're giving him his tablets we flip the collar back, so it is out of the way.
It is quick and easy to hand-wash - we have one in use and a spare.

Sizing cats v dogs

lynne weston

if collars are universal (for cats,dogs rabbits etc) then a small or medium size would suit my 8 year old av size tabby cat

  • VioVet Staff

You will very likely need the extra small or small collar size for your cat (size 1 or 2). You will need to measure their neck circumference and the length from the neck to just beyond the muzzle to work out which is most suitable. The size guide is below, you should add 1cm or so to the measurements you take as the collar shouldn't sit too tightly.

Size 1 Neck 24cm / Length 10cm
Size 2 Neck 31cm / Length 14cm
Size 3 Neck 40cm / Length 16cm
Size 4 Neck 50cm / Length 20cm
Size 5 Neck 53cm / Length 24cm
Size 6 Neck 40cm / Length 32cm (suitable for greyhounds & lurchers)

Is it for rabbit also?

Is there a size that would fit dwarf rabbit-mini rex with 2.8 lbs?

  • VioVet Staff

I recommend measuring the length of your rabbit's neck to work this out:
Sizes available, comes flat: Size 1 (xs): Neck 24cm, Length 10cm
Size 2 (s): Neck 31cm, Length 14cm Size 3 (m): Neck 40cm, Length 16cm
Size 4 (l): Neck 50cm, Length 20cm Size 5 (xl): Neck 53, Length 24cm
Size 6 (greyhound): Neck 40cm, Length 32cm

The 'Neck' size is the circumference around the neck and the length is from where the collar would sit on the neck to the distance beyond the muzzle.
However it is extremely likely your dwarf rabbit would need an extra small collar based on the size of the average netherland dwarf.

How do I measure my dog to make sure order the right size?

Sue G

I have adopted a medium sized dog, who was injured before I got, her and has had to have two ops. my vet thought she had been shot with a pellet gun before coming to England from Rumania, she is over weight as she was unable to exercise much for approx two years. Now she has had a cancerous cyst removed from her neck about 1inch behind her left ear,and has to wear a cone collar. I want to get her a Soft-E-collar but don't know how to measure it.

  • VioVet Staff

Hello Sue,

Thank you for your question.

To measure the size of the Soft-E-Collar best suited to your dog, you will need to measure around their neck. The sizing chart is available in the description of the product to determine the right size for their neck circumference.

I hope this helps.
