While UnRuffledRx soft bird collars are very popular, even among vets, they're not for all situations. If your bird has an acute injury, like a surgical wound, that it must leave alone and that is expected to heal within a few weeks, choose a more restrictive plastic style collar instead. However, if you're dealing with feather plucking or self-mutilation, a soft bird collar can offer your pet the long-term support that it needs.
UnRuffledRx uses quality materials in our bird collars. Thick, fluffy fleece. Industrial-grade hook & loop. Extra-thick thread. Many styles can be trimmed at the neck and perimeter for an individualized fit. We even offer support to help you train your bird and to develop strategies for long-term success!
