Abstract: A collar is disclosed herein for restricting the movement of an animal's head which comprises a pliable and thickened elongated pad of sufficient width to occupy a neck region of the animal substantially between the shoulder and the base of the head. The opposite ends of the pad carry a releasable closure for securing the collar about the animal's neck. The closure includes a hook and pile fastener joining the ends longitudinally as well as transversely to prevent inadvertent detachment of overlapped ends.
