First, the good. This is the best recovery option we've tried, as it is the least stressful for my cat. We have tried a clear plastic cone and pajamas, neither of them worked enough and both stressed her out big time. This one is soft and more broad so that she can move her head around, and it doesn't restrict her legs... But, the bad. Even though I measured her and the cone fits on her neck, it's SO wide that when she tries to walk, she can only go a few steps before she can't help but step on it, and that keeps her from being able to keep walking. She also can't get through the entrance to her litterbox in it. So I'm going to have to buy yet another cone, since Chewy has a lion version of First, the good.

But all of the trial and error is pretty stressful, and I can't necessarily recommend buying this cone because figuring out the right size online is basically impossible, considering that I measured my cat and this one should have been the best fit. … more

Got this for our old man foster cat, Fantastic Mr. Fox— he is FIV+ and has flare ups with ringworm, so he chews his back legs. This was just big enough to keep him from reaching if it’s pulled forward and harder to get off. It does make him more sedentary though and he can’t eat with it on or he dips it in his food. He’s 11 lbs and it’s a tad small for him, but edges of the Velcro still meet. Overall, it’s cute and comfy.

I ordered this recovery collar prior to eye surgery on my cat. The collars diameter is so big that she was tripping over it & it would get stuck under her paws when trying to walk. Also, extremely floppy & soft so it does not hold its "cone" shape & easily flips backwards instead of staying facing forward. May be suitable for some, but, definitely would not recommend for a small animal.

It really is just adorable but it is WAY too big. Our puppy is going in to be spayed and we got this for her to wear afterwards. She only weighs 4 1/2 pounds and this is HUGE on her. It slips around her neck and is so big she can't even walk in it. I'll need to return this and get something smaller. It is very well made and I'm sad it doesn't fit her!

I didnt need after all, but seemed like it would work, just not sure if the velcro would stay closed the whole time, you would really need to keep your pet by you to be sure. I hate the plastic one but it is the most secure.

This cone is adorable but, as others have said, it's pretty wide. The maker does not recommend washing so I wouldn't recommend it after any surgeries of the ears or face as it may stain the fabric.

This collar was perfect for administering eye ointment and keeping my cat from disturbing it. I could put the collar on relatively easy. Then go back and give the medicine and then give him time to soak it in. This made it much easier to give the medicine and less risk of him flinching and hurting the eye. It seemed like he would get used to it over time if he had needed it for a surgery.

this sunflower cone is AMAZING!! my dog recently had an emergency c section and emergency spaying so she needed to wear a cone. obviously wearing a hard cone made it hard to move around and really do anything such as sleep. i couldn’t sleep knowing my puppy would be up all night banging into walls not able to eat or even drink water so i hopped onto chewy and grabbed some necessities and i found this! it fits my 12 pound maltese perfect! it’s stiff enough to protect her stitches from getting picked but it’s also as soft as a pillow so she can sleep on it. it also stays on all the time! my dog isn’t the type to pick at a cone trying to take it off however, she does shake almost every time after this sunflower cone is AMAZING!! my dog recently had an emergency c section and emergency spaying so she needed to wear a cone. obviously wearing a hard cone made it hard to move around and really do anything such as sleep. i couldn’t sleep knowing my puppy would be up all night banging into walls not able to eat or even drink water so i hopped onto chewy and grabbed some necessities and i found this! it fits my 12 pound maltese perfect! it’s stiff enough to protect her stitches from getting picked but it’s also as soft as a pillow so she can sleep on it. it also stays on all the time! my dog isn’t the type to pick at a cone trying to take it off however, she does shake almost every time after she gets up and it’s still stayed on. to sum it all up it was an AMAZING purchase and it’s cute too ;) BUY IT!!! … more

We bought this for our puppy when she was spayed. We absolutely loved it and was so much more comfortable for her rather than the hard plastic cone that was provided by the vet!!

I got the right size for my cat but she cannot drink or eat with this on and she does need to at least be able to get to her food and water if she wants it. It is way too wide and doesn't need to be so wide. It may be okay for some animals but think before you buy for a normal size cat. I have five of all sizes and wouldn't work for any of them.
