[0059] FIG. 2 is a view showing the state in which a fixing member 201 of a body part of a clothing type Elizabethan collar of the present disclosure is locked.

[0060] The portion of the Elizabethan collar that is supposed to come in contact with the neck of a pet and the neck of the clothing are combined in FIG. 2, in which the neck (connector 300) is made of a soft and elastic material (e.g., rib) to prevent the neck of a pet from being strangled and to easily put on and remove the Elizabethan collar to be fitted to the kinds of pets and the sizes of the skull of pets. In order to connect the neck of the clothing, all kinds of methods such as sewing, a button, a Velcro tape, a zipper, etc. can be used. The neck is integrally formed, so it is not removed even if a pet scratches or kicks it with the forelegs or hind legs.

[0061] A Velcro tape is applied to the fixing member 201 on the back of the body part of the clothing for a pet in FIG. 2 so that the size and the degree of contact can be adjusted. The clothing 200 is fabricated to be adjusted to be fitted well to the body shapes of pets by using various functional fibers having the spandex function, and can be fabricated in individual sizes to be suitable for the breeds, weight, and sizes such as bust widths of dogs and cats.

[0062] The Elizabethan collar part 101 shown in FIG. 2 is made of a soft cushion material, so the wearing comfort is improved to be light and soft. The material in the cushion may be a sponge, cotton, silicon, etc.
