Comfy Cone Pet Cone for Dogs, Cats, Medium, Tan - Comfortable Soft Dog Cone Collar Alternative for After Surgery, Wound Care, Spay, Neuter - Dog and Cat Recovery Elizabethan-Collar

I bought this Comfy Cone size XL recently for my 100 + pound malamute due to a hotspot on his back. We love this cone, and it is SO much better than the alternative plastic ones.The pros:The Comfy Cone is soft, but it has structure to it so that the cone does not droop over the pets face.The cone is super easy to adjust! There are multiple neck sizes you can use with this cone and the cone is reinforced with velco for easy placement and removal. When using the plastic cone, we had to pull hard to get his head out when we were to give our pup a break, now it's super easy to un-velcro without any hassles!The cone is machine washable for those dirty pups, like mine!Even though the cone has structure around the sides and the top, it isn't nearly as sharp as the plastic cones. Say goodbye to the bruises on the backs of your legs and the paint chipping off your walls!This cone is affordable - we saved $10+ buying this on Amazon instead of our local pet store.Our pup seems much happier with this cone than the plastic ones!The cons:The cone can velcro around the collar, but the velcro pieces are only large enough to fit around a "normal" sized collar width. My pup has a very thick, fabric collar. So, the velcro doesn't make it all the way around the collar. Luckily, this isn't a huge issue for us since the cone stays on very well without being attached to a collar.I am only going to add this in the "cons" section because of a fellow reviewer - I read on another review that the cone made their dog sweaty around the neck. Since our pup is a Malamute and has thick fur, I purchased the color TAN option just in case! So far, we have not had any concerns about this cone making him too warm (and we survived 90 degree weather last week!)We bought the XL size for our pup because it was advertised at 30 cm - and it really does measure at 30 cm! But, I think that since this cone is much softer and more flexible, the length is a tad bit too short. Nonetheless, this cone will work out great for us this time because the hotspot is on his back where it can't be reached with the cone on!Helpful tip:When sizing a cone for your pup, make sure that the pups nose cannot reach past the edge of the cone. If it does, order a size up!

You pretty much know what you're getting here already, but in summary:The good:1. My dog seems to like the feel of this cone better to rest his head on. With the plastic vet cone, I frequently had to shove a blanket under his chin for him to settle in for naps. No such problem here. The fact that it can kind of collapse flat on one side helps there too.2. The sizing is good. It seems nearly identical to my vet-supplied cone.3. It is slightly flexible and has a decent ammount of padding. It doesn't give him quite the same jolt when he hits it on something, so he's a bit more confident. For example, with a plastic cone, he refused to jump up on the couch for fear of hitting it. Now he will. Also, I worry less about him running around and hurting himself.4. It seems reasonably water-resistant. I was worried it might soak through when he drinks water, but water seems to bead well, and I can usually just give it a quick wipe when he's done drinking. An added bonus is, since he has to wear it 24/7, it makes it easy to clean while he's still wearing it. You can just take a damp cloth with a little bit of soapy water to it if needed.The cons:1. Kinda obvious, but it limits peripheral vision since this cone isn't transparent. For example, my dog loves to play fetch, but with this cone, he can't see well enough to do it very well. He doesn't seem to mind much and just spends more time hunting around for the ball, but you can clearly see the impact.2. Not as rigid. In my particular case (keeping my dog from scratching at sutures on his face), this has been fine so far. However, if you need it to be perfectly rigid, look elsewhere. This is mainly an issue with it not maintaining a perfect circle and flexing at the seams between the five panels that make it up. The panels themselves don't seem very easy to fold.3. There was already a loose thread after just a couple of days. I simply cut it off, so it's not a big deal, but I do hope it will hold up in the long term. That said, it does seem to be holding up quite well when he tries to scratch at his face and scratches at the cone instead. No abrasion or wear on the fabric that I can see so far.4. This is more of a personal preference, but I wish it had actual buckles instead of velcro to keep it closed.

Die Halskrause ist super, unser Hund kann damit bequem liegen und trinken, zum fressen kann man sie einfach durch die Klettverschlüsse öffnen und nach hinten klappen. Durch die festen Verstärkungen die man aber auch raus nehmen kann, hat unser Hund auch nicht die Möglichkeit sich am Tisch, Schrank oder sonst wo zu kratzen!Eine super geniale Alternative zur einem steifen Plastikkragen!

La collerette plastique du vétérinaire déranger beaucoup mon chien, surtout pour se coucher, celle ci est niquel.Pris en taille Médium pour mon bouledogue français et ça correspond très bien (légèrement trop long) mais pas dérangeant, il arrive à boire et attraper ses jouets.Produit de très bonne qualité, le velcro est résistant

Perfecte halsband van zacht materiaal. geen lelijke snijwond in de enkels van de hond door het schuren van harde plastic halsbanden. Ik raad het aan.

This is by far the absolute best cone for my dog, and worth every penny! The cone is made of soft cushioned material that is easily wiped clean, and the bonus is light reflective trim, great for night time walks. I have a large East-European Shepherd with a long reaching snout that can manage to over reach other cone lengths. This cone is fantastic as it is longer than my dog's snout reach, so he's not able to lick or chew at wound site. It is sturdy and does not crack or shatter like plastic cones, plus it is soft and comfy like a pillow to lie down on, and does not rub or irritate his neck. Also, this cone does not damage your wall paint or furniture, like the hard plastic cones, when your pet clumsily bumps something when playing or turning around. We attached it's elastic loops to his collar which make it really easy for us to put on and take off when we want. You don't need to remove it during mealtime, but we do because he's a tad messy eater, but he looks forward to getting his cone back on, its like a special collar pillow and he likes wearing it! *he really disliked wearing the hard plastic cones.
