Calm Paws Basic Inflatable Dog Collar

The thought behind this product is great. I didn’t want to have to put my dog in an uncomfortable cone after his surgery, but he was still able to lick his incision and stitches. I had to then go purchase a cone because his incision is now irritated. I wish it had worked, he was pretty comfortable in it. Just didn’t serve it’s purpose. I gave it two stars because my dog looked cute in it.

This inflatable collar looks more comfortable than a travel pillow! Easy to inflate -- although the knack of squeezing and blowing takes a little trial and error. The cover is plush and the fit is perfect. So far my Roshi seems comfortable, and the collar is far more effective than a regular soft collar provided by the vet.

My dog had a hot spot on his hip and came home from the vet in a plastic cone. He is old and short and had so much trouble with the cone -- it kept hitting on the floor and walls. I finally ordered this inflatable collar from Chewy and it is so much more comfortable! It prevented him from licking his hip, but allowed him to walk around with ease. I knocked off a star because he did have a little trouble sleeping with it. I thought it would be like a pillow, but he had trouble getting used to it when lying down. Also, he's only about 20 pounds and the medium was suggested when I measured, but it barely fit. I knew a large would seem too big on him.

I ended up skipping the part where you attach his regular collar, and just put the inflatable collar around his neck, attaching the velcro gently as far apart as it could be. It worked better that way. But overall, I'm glad I had this and I just wish I had it a few days sooner. … more

My puppy was spayed two weeks ago and we needed to make sure she left her incision alone. This collar was perfect. It allowed her to eat and drink and sleep without a problem. It took just a few seconds to inflate, and the removable cover is soft and comfortable. I will note that this collar won't keep your pet from bothering areas on their feet or lower legs. They will probably still be able to reach these areas. Whether this collar works for you will depend on your pet and the area they need to be kept away from. This collar kept my dog from bothering her lower belly and worked great for us.

Much better than the regular E Collar. Bought this for my dogs up coming spade procedure, SOOOO much better than the normal E Collar. She is able to eat, drink, and sleep in her crate with this collar on and best part is my walls and my legs are not getting scrapped up by the standard E collar. I would say that this collar would not be good if you needed to leave your dog outside unsupervised, for that I would use the regular e collar but if your dog is going to be inside in a controlled environment it is a game changer.

My dog could still reach himself a little bit but he had to really try and I probably should have gotten a lg, my fault. It was so much better than a big cone that he would have been like a satellite dish and taking out everything in the house.

My 1 year old bernedoodle was just neutered and I bought this item in place of using a plastic cone. Unfortunately, It hasn’t been able to prevent my dog from licking his drill sergeant. It does however help to calm him down. He still has to wear the cone because the shirt doesn’t help either. I sometimes put this on him when he is taking a break from the cone and I can watch him. It slows him down and does make it more difficult for him to reach his drill sergeant but without constant monitoring he would really be able to get at it.

I was very happy with this collar, it worked well and my dog, who is a stubborn and cantankerous German Shepard, doesn't fight it and has worn it for two weeks now. I am ordering a second one as this one did get a small puncture at the kennel on an overnight stay, but it was repaired with superglue and duct tape. I want a spare.

Our Beagle was recently diagnosed with cushings disease and as part of that has a skin infection from her shoulder blades to her tail, and halfway down her sides. While the medication is working, she is itchy. This has kept her from licking herself bald. Its not as obtrusive as the normal cones, but does the job. We have found that about 3/4 full of air works best for her. We also found that if she wears this with the Velcro at her throat, she doesn't snore as much as with it turned the other way. Hopefully we won't need this for very long, but for now I am glad we have it.

The inflatable collar is perfect for my furbaby. We use it as a means to keep our elderly dog from licking. We didn’t get the calming disk, however we add a few drops of lavender essential oil to the collar and it’s just enough to soothe any anxiety our furbaby may have. It helps him rest at night too - A Perfect Fit.
