is this also one of those "only in America" things ????????
 

not sure if its done to prevent them from licking their wounds or for easier communication with aliens but I can honestly say that I have never seen a dog with a cone on its head in my life......

i see these a lot - and i'm not in the US...

to prevent them from licking their wounds

sometimes done after male dogs are "snipped"

and they do help if you don't have a wireless card

They even have those things in Costa Rica.

I've never seen a dog wearing one in real life.

Those are everywhere

my dog had to have one when he had sugery so he wouldn't rip the stitches out

Seen them on both cats and dogs

It's part of the budget plan for Direct TV.

It's very common for dogs, and in some cases cats, up here in Canada. Our dog had to wear one for a few days after we had her spade. And yes, it's just to stop them from licking the wound/tearing out stitches.

Common in the UK too...

seen them a lot in norway. This is common for dogs with wounds!

it's the same anywhere

Quite usual.
