Buster Brachycephalic Collar

Product Details

A recovery collar must extend far enough to prevent the dog reaching the protected body area. The correct length may differ depending on whether the wound is on the face, body, leg or tail.

Brachycephalic dogs can have respiratory challenges. Observe breathing, temperature, stress and ability to rest while any recovery device is worn.

The collar should not be used as a normal walking collar. Attach the lead to the dog’s regular harness or collar as directed by the veterinarian.

Materials and Fit

The collar is made from 100% polypropylene. The flexible transparent material allows the collar to form a protective cone while preserving visibility.

• Fit the collar according to the KRUUSE instructions.
• Check that the dog can breathe and swallow comfortably.
• Ensure the collar cannot slip over the head.
• Confirm that it extends beyond the muzzle where protection requires this.
• Inspect the neck area for rubbing, redness or pressure.
• Keep the collar clean and dry.
• Supervise the dog while it adjusts to the device.
• Check eating and drinking access.
• Contact the veterinarian if the dog panics or struggles to breathe.

Two fingers should generally fit beneath a neck fastening, but the product-specific instructions and veterinary fit remain the deciding guidance.

The collar can be wiped clean with mild soap and water. Rinse and dry it before refitting, and avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the material or irritate the dog.

Size Guide

Breed and weight examples are starting points rather than guarantees. Measure the individual dog and confirm that the cone length protects the specific treatment area.

The size guide has a gap between the listed Medium and Large weight examples. Dogs near a boundary should be measured carefully and fitted by a veterinarian or veterinary nurse.

A correctly sized collar should protect the wound without obstructing breathing, creating severe neck pressure or preventing normal resting.
