FAQ

How do I know if size XL is right for my pet?

Measure the circumference of your dog or cat's head just behind the ears and at the base of the skull. Kruuse XL typically fits heads with a circumference of approximately 50-60 cm. Check the exact measurements in the product description or consult your veterinarian for a precise recommendation.

Is it safe to use overnight?

Yes, it's safe as long as the protector is properly fitted and doesn't obstruct breathing, vision, or the ability to drink water. Supervise your pet for the first few hours and remove it if you notice signs of stress or extreme discomfort. Never use it unsupervised on very restless pets.

Can it be washed and reused?

Yes, the Buster ear protector is reusable. Hand wash it with warm water and mild soap, rinse thoroughly, and let it air dry. Do not use bleach or a dryer, as these could damage the material. With basic care, it can last for several uses.

How long should my pet wear it?

The duration of use depends on the veterinarian's instructions. It is generally recommended to wear it for 7-14 days post-surgery or until the wound is completely healed. Consult your veterinarian for a specific plan and remove it only when it is safe to do so.

Can it be used in conjunction with an Elizabethan collar?

It's not necessary, as the ear protector serves a similar but more specific function for the head. Combining it with another collar could cause discomfort or excessive restriction. If your pet needs additional body protection, consult your veterinarian about alternatives.

What do I do if my pet takes it off?

If your pet manages to remove the collar, check that it fits properly and that there are no loose edges. You can reinforce the closure with an additional clip (never with sharp objects). If the problem persists, try using it for short, supervised periods, and consult your veterinarian about other protection options.
