Kruuse UK has expanded the well-known Buster range of "elizabethan" collars with the introduction of a Buster Comfort Collar. According to the company, this new design is softer and more flexible and features a soft rubber outer edge for better comfort for the animal and is kinder to its surroundings.

Prolonged use can make the edges of strong, rigid plastic collars brittle and ragged, especially with active animals, which is why the Comfort Collar was developed to alleviate this problem in such situations.

Manufactured out of environmentally-friendly 100 per cent polypropylene, these collars still feature the quick-fastening system found on the Buster Clic Collar and are fully transparent to allow the animal all-round vision. The Buster Comfort Collars are available in seven sizes ranging from 7.5 to 30cm.

Kruuse will be exhibiting at the BSAVA Congress 2008, stand number 205.
