The Balto® Neck Eco is a comfortable alternative to the traditional e-collar. It can be used to:
- Prevent pets from disturbing sutures following surgery
- Discourage unwanted obsessive-compulsive behaviors, such as licking or scratching
It provides body-only coverage and should not be used to protect a pet's paws, ears, or eyes. The brace can comfortably be used alongside the dog's personal harness for daily walks.
Due to the unique shape of their necks, the brace is not recommended for use with sighthounds and bulldogs.
Features:
- Breathable, but not waterproof, fabric
- The brace can be worn before and after surgery
- Excellent wearability
- Hand washable
Learn How to Properly Fit the Balto Neck Eco to Your Pet
Non-neoprene braces from Balto® are constructed from superior materials; neoprene is notorious for harboring pathogens, offering insufficient support, and deteriorating rapidly. A range of dimensions guarantees a snug fit. A no-pinch product. Recommended for all ages, unless veterinarians advise otherwise. When applicable, apply the brace in proportionate increments of time for animals under the age of two to avoid potential growth disruptions.

Maintenance & Repair
A clean brace not only prevents infections, irritation, and a stinky smell; but it also allows your brace to last longer. To help support the longevity of your bracing device, here are some of our tips on how to properly clean your orthopedic bracing:
- 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.
