See Details for instructions to redeem.Your precious pet can still show off his adorably sunny disposition even while healing from an injury with the Alfie Pet Noah Sunflower Dog & Cat Recovery Collar. An animal in the wild instinctively licks his wounds to help sanitize them, but that’s not always helpful or safe in the modern age of stitches, bandages and medication. This cute fabric collar fits snugly around your furry friend’s neck with a sturdy, double fuzzy fastener closure to keep him from traumatizing the surgical site or injured area by chewing or licking. Although he may initially dislike the cone, he should adapt quickly with lots of positive energy, praise and, of course, tasty treats.

Pet parent should monitor pet in the beginning as pet may chew the collar. A highly restless or uncooperative pet could potentially flip the soft fabric collar over or remove it completely.
To select the best size, measure your pet's neck and depth to compare with the size chart.
The second measurement (neck to snout) is the most critical, as the collar needs to extend beyond the nose in order to provide effective protection. If your dog or cat's nose is sticking out of the end of the cone, they may be able to reach the affected areas. If the dog happens to be in between sizes it's then recommended to select the bigger size.
Size | Neck Girth | Depth |

X-Small | 6.5 - 8 inches | 5 inches |
Small | 7.75 - 9.5 inches | 5.75 inches |
Medium | 9.25 - 10.75 inches | 6.5 inches |
Large | 10 - 11.5 inches | 7.25 inches |
X-Large | 11 - 12.5 inches | 8 inches |
XX-Large | 12.5 - 14 inches | 9 inches |

The second measurement (neck to snout) is the most critical, as the collar needs to extend beyond the nose in order to provide effective protection. If your dog or cat's nose is sticking out of the end of the cone, they may be able to reach the affected areas.
If any of the measurements are 'between' two sizes, choose the larger size. If your measurements are toward the upper end of the range given for a particular size, you may also want to choose the larger size, as you may also wish to do for heavily coated dogs to accommodate all that fur.
Putter is my first puppy so I got him everything to try post-neutering. He truly loves this cone. We got a size small and it’s the tiniest bit small on his neck, but it’s resilient! He uses it as a pillow & it has stayed on in his crate every night. I also tried a recovery suit and he completely got that off in his crate - the cone he seems to enjoy.
The small size is a tad too long for my average sized cat. It does it's job to prevent any licking and scratching without impacting any whiskers. And it's certainly adorable to see your cat wearing this. But my cat sometimes trips on the edges of the "petals" so it's a little awkward moving around. 4.5 stars.
This cone is absolutely precious and well made. Highly adjustable, and soft. But it's WAAAAYYYY to big for my poor kitty. She couldn't walk or hardly move with it on. It's a "small" hole for the pet's head, we'll donate it to our local rescue.
This is literally so cute and I’m adding my cats photos just so he can join all the precious ones in other review. He constantly has a problem of over grooming so I had to find a more appealing option than a medical cone. I’m glad other cat parents are finding soft cone fashion! My baby is pretty chunky and other collars are too tight around his thick neck (lol) this one is perfect and so pretty I like that I can flip it back for him to eat comfortably
Easy to put on & remove- the Velcro is really strong. In fact, my puppy is fearful of the “ripping” sound when I remove it. Stays in place !
I rescued a 10 yr old Maltese mix fr a shelter. He had to be nuetered, with 1 testicle that never dropped & a hernia. I was given a plastic cone. By day 2 my fingers had cuts everywhere and I noticed a large open, raw sore on my dogs penis. He had rubbed himself raw with the plastic. I called Chewy customer service and the amazing rep suggested this collar. It's soft, doesn't rub his neck and while wearing it slept like a baby. No more Mommy cuts either. He had the collar sent overnight, no shipping & gave me a discount! Big plus, it's so cute. Thank you Chewy for rescuing us! Poppy sends love & licks
I bought this for my Jack Russel mix’s spay. It works fine for when I’m able to keep an eye on her. She seems comfortable in it (and it’s adorable) but given that it is soft, when she’s in her crate she can curl up in the corner and still get to her stitches. The cone sort of folds at the base of the neck just enough to where she can reach her stitches. It does work like 85% of the time and I ultimately bought this over a plastic cone for comfort - which I would definitely say she’s more comfortable than she would be in a plastic cone. I’m going to be buying a recovery vest to use at night while she’s in her crate just to be sure she isn’t getting at her stitches while I sleep. I’ll probably still use this during the day though.
Too limp. Doesn't stay in place as pictured. Pretty but didn't stop my dog from licking her stitches after surgery.
I purchased this when my little girl got spayed. She was so comfortable and was able to eat and sleep..
Do not trust this product to work. I regret buying this. It will not prevent your pet from getting to what they want to get to. It flips backwards and will not stay like it should. Should never have trusted it, it just set back her healing and now watching for infection.
