An electric shock protective device for animals to protect, for example, a bandage affixed to one of the animal's legs. The device is positioned on or around the bandage, and if the animal attempts to bite or chew on the bandage, or the sore or wound on its leg, its mouth and tongue will come into contact with the protective device causing it to produce a mild electric shock. The device includes a flexible mounting band dimensioned to surround the leg of an animal for which it is intended, a plurality of electrical conductors such as thin copper bus bars mounted thereon in substantially parallel relationship, an electrical power source such as one or more electrically connected batteries having a negative and a positive terminal, a first one of said electrical conductors connected to said negative terminal and a second one of said electrical conductors connected to said positive terminal. The electrical conductors face outwardly when the protective device is wrapped around the bandaged leg, whereby the animal's tongue or mouth contacts both the said first and second conductors which completes an electrical circuit and produces an electrical shock to the portion of the tongue or mouth in contact with the conductors. More than two conductors may be mounted in parallel spaced apart relationship on the flexible mounting band, in which case they are connected so each adjacent one is of opposite polarity.
