KONG Cloud Collar for Dogs & Cats

I bought this collar because I have to bathe my cat with lime sulfur dip and he isn't allowed to groom himself until it's dry. The Kong Cloud is so much better than a conventional E-collar. He doesn't mind it much and he can lay down, sleep, eat and drink with it on. I took the advice of another reviewer and bought an inexpensive cat collar to go with it. I'm glad I did. Given how flexible cats are I think he'd get the Kong cloud collar off if that's all he was wearing. But with a conventional collar threaded through the loops on the inside of the Kong collar it stays in place perfectly. While my cat doesn't love the collar he's not particularly upset by it and carries on as usual I bought this collar because I have to bathe my cat with lime sulfur dip and he isn't allowed to groom himself until it's dry.

The donut is much softer than the plastic cone and no damage to the house or my legs with the donut. But, our big 75lb GSP can still lick his wound on his back leg. I purchased XL. He has a 17" neck and the donut fits snug around his neck. He has a long body and is just able to reach his wound. If it was on his chest, back or stomach he couldn't reach it. I put it on him when I'm around and can watch just to avoid the bruised legs. He has to work a little harder with it on and it gives me time to catch him rather than have him run around with nothing to slow him down.

I read good and bad reviews ...I decided to buy it anyway. I didn't think he could turn his head with that thing around his neck ...my dog is about 42 lbs.. just had major surgery ...I have a huge cone on him which is the best of course ..but wanted this for supervision only to be comfortable while I'm watching him... he was groggy the second day so it seemed to be okay while I supervised him...when I leave I keep the big cone on him.. but I came home and put on the Kong collar ..his wound is on the upper part of his right leg almost near his backside ...sat down on the couch he laid next to me and I looked away for one second and he was right on top of his wound he could have opened up like I read good and bad reviews ...I decided to buy it anyway.

I bought the medium because he's not a big dog... I would not recommend this.. not for major surgery maybe for something tiny.. I was disappointed I was looking for something comfortable while I was home with him... how could they recommend that to put on after surgery... doesn't make sense... … more

I originally read the bad reviews first, which described dogs being able to access their wounds even with the pillow on. However, upon further review I noticed majority of them were surgeries on the legs and nueters. My puppy is a 7 mo. female 30 pound husky mix. She hasn’t been able to reach her stitches and seems more comfortable with the pillow than the cone. I can’t say for other surgeries, but if your dog is getting spayed it’s a great purchase!

This was the only bad purchase we've ever made on Chewy. This collar was horrible. We fit it properly and it was snug but kept coming off due to the collars constant deflation. I blew it up 5 times in less than 6 hrs and it kept deflating. left my Great Dane in this for a few hrs unattended and she got at her sutures. So overall i'd say a total fail. Kong makes wonderful products, but this is not their best work and I'm not pleased with the product what so ever. I would not recommend it !

The Kong Cloud Collar is much better than the plastic funnel -cone of shame. My 7 lbs. chihuahua has been using this for 8 days -24/7, and she doesn't mind wearing it. She doesn't try to take it off. She can eat, drink, and sleep easily. She can't lick her belly. She's a deer head chihuahua and they tend to have a slender build vs the apple head. If she were any smaller or thinner, she would need a smaller size. She's wearing a small (Her neck is 9"). I could have gone smaller, but I think the small works the best. The pillow portion is super puffy on her, so she can't reach any body parts. You can see in the photo the two ends of the pillow are touching, so it can't get much smaller, but The Kong Cloud Collar is much better than the plastic funnel -cone of shame.

I do recommend it. I don't feel bad having her wear it. :) … more

Wish the Velcro attachment was longer so there wasn’t a piece dangling. There is a collar holder on the inside which, without it, this product would be useless. Don’t buy a cloud without one. She seemed comfortable with it on. Used it as a built in pillow.

I bought this collar for one of my foster kittens after she quickly broke a traditional, lampshade-like plastic collar. The cloud collar stayed on the entire two-and-a-half weeks it needed to stay on. And the kitten didn't seem to mind wearing it.

Our dog was given the traditional hard plastic e-collar following surgery and was just going crazy bumping into furniture, doorways, even getting into her crate. She was miserable, trying her best to get it off. An inflatable was recommended, ordered and received in 2 days. It made all the difference in her comfort and healing. Highly recommend if an e-collar is needed.

My small dog with a meg-esophagus pretty much lives in her Kong Cloud Collar. She has three of them so there is always a fresh one on hand. They help keep her head higher than her stomach as she moves around or curls up for a nap. It must be comfortable since she never tries to take it off. She sleeps in bed with me every night while wearing it. It keeps her from regurgitating.
