She does lick on it when I take the collar off her. I haven't seen her chew or anything like Nani did. I'm still keeping it on her most of the time, but I do take it off to give her breaks and let her wash herself, eat, drink and potty. I really don't know if she would mess with the cut or not. Just don't want to take a chance. Maybe by the weekend I'll let her have it off for good. Do you know how long it takes for the cut to fully close up where I don't have to worry about it?
