An E-collar for pets (short for Elizabethan collar, also known as a cone or recovery collar) is a protective medical device worn by animals, usually after surgery or during healing from an injury or skin condition. It's designed to prevent pets from licking, scratching, or biting at wounds, stitches, or irritated areas on their bodies.
