Anti-LickStrip Prevent® Product Comparison

Elizabethan Collar/E-Collar

For years the Elizabethan Collar (a.k.a. “e-collar”) has been the most effective solution to solving unwanted licking or biting of surgical sites and problematic areas of the pet’s body. Because of its unattractive nature, many pet owners take the collar off before they should.  Anti-LickStrip Prevent® Bandage is a more appealing way to deter licking and biting. The strip does not impair mobility or activity level of the pet.

Protective Pet Outfits

Pet clothing are one of the newest anti-licking and biting products on the market. The concept of this deterrent is a pet hospital gown that covers the torso and protects wounds and shaved areas on pets. The one downfall to this product is that it does not protect the limbs and tail of the pet. Depending on the size of the pet, there is an Anti-LickStrip Prevent® Bandage that fits perfectly around limbs and tails.

Bitter Tastings Sprays

Bitter apple sprays are sold in many pet stores, but do these bitter tasting sprays actually work? These products are designed to be sprayed on an area of the body, pieces of furniture or other household objects that a pet constantly licks or bites at. All three sprays contain clear solutions mostly made from water. Because the solutions are clear, it can be hard to determine if they are still deterring a pet in from licking or biting.  Anti-LickStrip Prevent® contains all-natural powders that are visible through the ribbon. The strip is designed to stay on the hair of the pet for several days before falling off on its own.
