Inflatable neck collar from PFOTENGUT®

The inflatable neck collar from PFOTENGUT offers good protection for the dog by covering injuries and preventing the dog from licking itself. Thanks to the inflatable design , the dog is not restricted in its movements and can continue to move freely. The collar is comfortable for the dog to wear thanks to the soft velour. It does not restrict the dog’s field of vision and is therefore easily accepted by the dog. Thanks to its ergonomic fit , the collar adapts perfectly to the dog’s neck. Weighing just 300 g , it is also lightweight and protects the dog’s lumbar spine . Well-described instructions for use are also included. However, the instruction manual shows a dog and a cat with an inflatable neck collar, which is misleading as the manufacturer advertises the product for dogs and the sizes would be too large for cats.

ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The inflatable neck collar from PFOTENGUT was delivered in an Amazon boxfor the test. The outer box contained the product box with the company logo and product name, and on the back was a friendly thank you note from the manufacturer. Both the outer and inner boxes were in perfect condition. The contents were also in perfect condition and showed no signs of damage or wear. The package contained the inflatable neck brace, the velour cover, a small hand pump and was complete. A small and easy-to-understand instruction manual was also included.

ℹ️ Before we start the practical test, we take a close look at the workmanship of the products. How high quality are the materials used? Are the look and feel satisfactory?

The appearance of the PFOTENGUT ruff and its individual parts was assessed as flawless and without defects. All components were in good condition. The soft velour cover was of high quality , both the textile and the fastening with clips and cords. The small hand pump was rated as high quality and durable , ensuring quick inflation of the neck brace. The manufacturer did not provide any information on the sustainability of the product. Due to the high-quality workmanship of the product, it can be assumed that the neck brace will have a long service life .

ℹ️ Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore weighting. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.

Although a cat is pictured on the instructions for use, the collar is not suitable for cats due to its size and therefore cannot be used.
