The Balto® Neck Eco is a comfortable alternative to the traditional Elizabethan e-collar. Playfully known as the “cone of shame.” This breathable structured neck brace, made with non-neoprene material, prevents the extension of the neck to stop self-harming behaviors. This neck brace is not for cervical support. This brace can be worn alongside a feline’s identification collar without discomfort while maintaining an active lifestyle. The Eco brace is an excellent option for cats in need of protection from biting, licking, or scratching wounds, allergies, or healing site while maintaining their typical mobility in their environments.
Brace Applications:- Can be used in coordination with orthopedic bracing while training pets to adjust to their bracing; preventing damage to the brace or further injury.
- Protection self-harming behaviors like biting, licking or scratch at wounds
- Wound management; protection of bandages from biting, licking, gravity and friction
- One wide collar that can be placed on two different ways to best provide body-only coverage. The extended side can support below the neck, or in the opposite position, down the spine to help support flexion/extension of the neck
- Adjustable straps ensure an excellent fit
Comes in size xx-small. To find the best size for your cat, visit the sizing chart here.

- Remove as much hair as possible from any Velcro® frequently to prevent compaction.
- Use lint roller or lightly adhesive tape to remove hair from the material of the brace.
- By hand, use warm water and a gentle cleansing soap to remove any stains and odors.
- Rinse soap thoroughly from the brace
- Hang to dry. Once the brace is completely dry, it is ready for use!
