Pet Owners Shared Adorable Photos Of Their Pets Who Had To Wear The Cone Of Shame
Pet cones have a way of turning even the most dignified animal into a walking joke. Whether you call it an Elizabethan collar, a Buster collar, or the cone of shame, the result is usually the same, a pet that looks confused, annoyed, and oddly adorable.
These photos capture that exact moment when a cat, dog, or other furry friend gets stuck wearing one of these protective collars and suddenly becomes the star of the house. The pets are clearly not thrilled, but their owners were quick to share the funniest results.
Some of these cones are practical, some are oversized, and all of them make the pets look even more lovable. Read on.

These collars got their name from the ruffs worn in the Elizabethan era, and the first patent in the U.S. was filed by Frank L. Vets typically advise using them to stop pets from aggravating a wound or removing stitches while self-grooming. Their purpose is to prevent pets from biting their wounds and scratching their heads, eyes, and ears with their back legs…
They are also sometimes used to prevent animals with self-destructive habits from harming themselves. Additionally, they can prevent the animal from consuming any medication that is applied to its skin.

Despite their frequent use, relatively little is understood about the impacts of these collars. One survey discovered that 77.4% of pet owners reported a reduced quality of life for their animal friends while they had the collar on.
This was mostly due to how the collar obstructed the pet's ability to drink, eat, and play, which caused frustration. Therefore, vets advise pet owners to do their research when selecting the right model for their little friend.
