Abstract
A custom-fittable, protective collar assembly for animals, useful for preventing contact beteen the animal's head and other parts of its body. Also described is a method of fitting such a collar assembly in order to ensure compliant reapplication after the collar has been removed from the animal's neck. The collar assembly includes a substantially flat collar-forming sheet of resiliently flexible material, together with a positionable closure assembly such as a positionable hook and loop fastening system.
