But it's a bit too long for her to walk comfortably unless I invert the cone. Because of its length (and my cat's nature) it gets soaked when she drinks from her bowl or the sink - had to take it off to dry because she soaked my shirt when she sat on my lap after her drink!

The medium sized one fits my cairn terrier perfectly. He's been wearing it for five days. I was worried that he would be able to get it off, but he doesn't even try. Also the velcro is super strong so he probably couldn't get it off anyway. It's soft so he can lay comfortably and it's not in his way. He doesn't seem to notice it. We take it off when he goes outside, and when he comes back in we put it back on, and he doesn't resist or fight with us. It almost seems like he likes it :D The ears always end up shifting under his chin and there's no way to keep them on the top, so it doesn't always look like a lion.

I ordered this a few days before taking My kitten to be spayed, just in case we needed it. The vet had told us that cats typically leave their stitches alone after being spayed. Our girl went right for them so we were forced to put her in a cone. She fought it endlessly for hours and got it off a few times but we were able to size it correctly after each attempt. The velcro allows you to tighten the collar to the exact size that you need. After a full night of trying to be persistent and letting her fight herself she finally gave up. Now, she uses it to lean on while she's sleeping. My only complaint is that the size is a little overwhelming.

The e-collar is super cute, plush (so it doesn’t rub my dog uncomfortably), and very great quality. The only thing is that my dog is short (she’s a beagle) and needed an extra large (beagles have short necks), so if she’s being pouty—which she is because she had surgery today—she trips over it or steps in the cone when it flips inside out. The vet did approve it, however, and said it was comparable to the soft collars they sell at the clinic. 10/10 for cuteness and 10/10 for would buy again! I just wish they had more variety in radius size depending on the height of the dog.

So I bought this for my lab. She got a hematoma in her ear from scratching too hard and I didn't want one of those horrible plastic cones. I thought this one was cute and served a purpose. We made the best of a bad thing and even made a sign for her to wear it to my husband military homecoming. "I would be lion if I said I haven't missed you" Our husky mix also loved wearing it just because, lol!! The only thing I suggest is going a little bigger ! It's pretty tight on my lab and I got a large !

My boyfriend and I decided to take in a stray after a few days of feeding him. He had some hairloss and itching up the wazoo. We tried an inflatable collar, which didn't do nearly anything. The plastic cone was in between sizes and he constantly licked it and ended up finding ways around it. This lion cone not only is adorable but also super effective. The sizing is perfect and the cone spreads out more so he cant push it down. Definitely try it out!

This is the 4th type of e-collar I've tried for my cat. He's a jerk, he's gotten out of all of them, and he's really creative and determined so... it may not be just the collar's fault. This collar is fairly sturdy and thick, and even though the outside is a stiff fabric, it's still fabric and thus bendable. He got it folded at the bottom just enough to sneak his head around to get to his tail (well, his stub, the tail was removed). I've pretty much accepted that he is not going to ever let himself heal. If I find a foolproof collar, I will shout it from the rooftops and write reviews until my fingers fall off.

I bought this in a size medium for my 12lb dachshund. It fit perfectly! This is hands down the best purchase you can make for your recovering buddy. Almost signs of stress and sore skin from the plastic collar they gave him at the vet are gone! He fought against it at first... 3 hrs later he was playing and trying to chew on the sides! You’ll need to watch the collar at time because it’ll flip down (not a huge deal since he still can’t reach the sutures from his surgery) Tip- I take it off when he needs to potty so he goes comfortably. Also, to get him to put it back on on his terms I hold a treat on the other side of the collar so his head peaks in to eat it.

This was softer and seemed to be much more comfortable for our 1-year-old puppy who needed leg surgery. We were told she'd have to wear a "cone" for at least 4 weeks. I'm so glad I bought this ahead of time. She took to it well - much better than the plastic one we took her home in. She was able to move around, eat with it, and even sleep in it, with no problem. And she enjoyed the attention she got with it on! The Vet techs LOVED it! :)

Best thing ever. The vet gave him a regular plastic cone. Poor thing he was miserable. Bougt this and he is so much better. He can eat, drink, walk, sleep and play. Its soft flexable but supports very well. He cant itch the area and is overall happier.
