Comfy Cone E-Collar for Dogs & Cats, Tan

I bought this one after reading many reviews, and am sure others had good experience with this collar. However although it says this e-collar is for both dogs and cats, it doesn't really work for cats. I bought a small-long and brought it with me when visiting my cat's vet (to ask her opinion. My cat's having a paw problem. To keep away from her licking the paw, I need something long and the cat can't get rid of it easily). This e-collar is clearly too bulky and heavy for a 12-lb cat.... The collar is well-made though...

We tried this with our 9 month old Sheltie who had spayed laparoscopic surgery. She had it off twice in the vet's office before we even left for home. The technician then put it on as tight as she could and by the time we got to our car in the parking lot it was off again. The padding is a good idea but since it is solid our Sheltie could not see through it giving her tunnel vision. She kept walking into the walls at the vet's office and barely made it out the door to the car. We took it off once we got to our car, and I sat with her all the way home - 40 minutes. We used the collar from the vet once we got home, and that she didn't mind because it was clear and she could see where she was going We tried this with our 9 month old Sheltie who had spayed laparoscopic surgery.

Used on a golden retriever. Nice alternative to the plastic cone. Soft for resting head on. Easily squishes when the dog's head runs it into walls, corners, etc. Easy to clean. Fits as described. We didn't need to thread a collar through the loops and it worked fine. Only minor downside is the dog can't see through it like the plastic cone, but it's a bit shorter so the dog was able to compensate by turning/tilting his head and was able to see.

Our 7month old GSD had surgery for hip dysplasia. He had chewed (and eaten partially) 3 plastic cones. We hoped this x-large cone would prevent him getting to surgery site as well as keep him from being uncomfortable. Simply put ... he could turn his head and lick the surgery site. It was no help at all. And expensive for something he only had on for less than 2 minutes.

I certainly would not recommend this collar. Even at it's loosest setting, the collar was too snug a fit for our 6 lb chihuahua mix "toy" sized dog. Buy the next larger size unless your dog is 4 lb or thereabouts. I regret buying it.

My poor dog has really bad environmental allergies and needs to wear a cone 24/7 a few times a year before her meds kick in. We've tried so many different cones. The donut style is preferable, but she eventually overpowers it and will reach around it. The traditional plastic one is less comfortable but our biggest issue with that one is that it won't stay on without binder clips and our dog scratched some furniture and doors. So we bought this one to also help protect our house. It seems more comfortable because it is softer than the hard plastic and I was worried about the velcro (she is a cone escape artist!) but it stayed on. I did have to put it on pretty tight which worried me a bit. It My poor dog has really bad environmental allergies and needs to wear a cone 24/7 a few times a year before her meds kick in.

I did have to put it on pretty tight which worried me a bit. It also doesn't stay circular, partly due to the plastic inserts so sometimes I felt like one side was squishing into her. It was also tough that she couldn't see out of it. Oh, and dogs being dogs, the cone got pretty smelly pretty quickly from her scraping it through anything and everything in her path in order to sniff things. Even with all those cons, I still recommend this cone, especially if you have a dog who scrapes the cone all around your house trying to get out of it. … more

This comfort cone was a good idea as being soft and more comfortable for laying on. But it did not work for my dog because he could not see thru it...could only see straight ahead and it freaked him out. He became stressed to the point that i had to remove it.

No so much the cone of shame with this e-collar. Collar allows dog some flexibility without being able to reach those delicate areas that must be lick free during recovery. Not like the hard plastic that we have been used to.

This keeps my dog from licking her foot. The vet cannot tell me whether it is an infection or cancer and wanted to amputate her toe. She is 15 1/2 years old and I do not feel this is fair for her (the dog).

Design is somewhat superior but just seemed too big for our Rat terrier mix. I did order the long which was probably a mistake. We used it backwards and turned back the edge but it still was always pushing forward behind her ears. She could actually lay down her head better with the plastic cone. A good idea, just something didn’t work in the execution. Happy footnote: when I tried to return it, Chewy gave me a refund AND told me to donate it! Great company with superior customer service.
