Vets recommend GASTRO collars
„GASTRO collars make our daily esophageal tube checks much easier — no more constant handling of cotton wool and dressings. Cats are more relaxed thanks to the simple fit and comfortable collar, and these collars have become an integral part of our ‘cat friendly’ approach at the clinic.“

Frequently asked questions
What is an esophageal feeding tube?+
An esophageal (esophagostomy) tube is a thin tube inserted into the esophagus that allows the cat to be fed when it cannot take food normally.
Why is a special collar needed?+
The GASTRO collar protects the tube from damage while allowing easy access for feeding and cleaning. Standard dressings are impractical and stressful.
Can the owner fit the collar themselves?+
The first fitting is done by the veterinarian, who will also show you how to handle the collar correctly.
How do you care for the collar?+
The collar is made from wipe-clean pram fabric. Simply wipe with a damp cloth. For soiling around the tube site, clean according to your vet's instructions.
