Soft Protective E-Tube Collar for Small Patients
The Jorvet Kitty Kanine Kollar is a soft, flexible alternative to the traditional rigid plastic Elizabethan collar — designed specifically for small patients (cats and small breed dogs) where the weight and rigidity of standard plastic cones causes excessive stress and interference with normal activity. The soft foam-like construction envelopes the neck comfortably while still preventing the patient from accessing wound sites on the body and rear limbs.
Available in XSmall and Small sizes for the smallest patients in veterinary practice — kittens, toy breed dogs, and cats. The tubular design fits comfortably around the neck without the protruding cone that causes disorientation and stress in many patients. Assorted colours make individual patient identification easy in multi-patient settings.

Why Quality Supplies Matter in Veterinary Wound Care
Every component of a wound care dressing system matters — from the wound contact layer to the outer fixation layer. Using professional-grade supplies designed for veterinary use ensures consistent performance, appropriate material safety, and compatibility with the other components of the dressing system. Home-use or hardware store substitutes may seem interchangeable but often lack the softness, sterility standards, or material specifications required for safe wound care.
VivoPet sources wound care supplies from the same professional veterinary distributors that supply Canadian veterinary hospitals. This means the products available here are the same items your veterinarian uses in clinic — not consumer-market approximations of professional supplies. If your veterinarian has recommended a specific wound care protocol, the supplies available at VivoPet allow you to follow that protocol consistently at home between clinic visits.
Supplement Advisor's Note
Wound healing is a complex biological process that depends not just on the dressing materials used, but on consistent dressing change frequency, appropriate wound cleaning technique, and timely identification of complications like infection or dressing-related pressure injury. If a wound is not showing visible improvement after 5-7 days of home wound care, or if you observe increasing redness, swelling, warmth, or discharge, consult your veterinarian before continuing home management. Early identification of complications prevents minor issues from becoming major setbacks in the healing process.
