KONG Cloud Collar for Dogs & Cats

Okay, so I haven't reviewed anything on Chewie before, but I had to come here to do this one. My dog actually WANTS to wear this. I take it off so that we can walk him with a normal harness, and when we come back inside, he sits down and stares at me for it. If I take it off for snuggles or head scratches, he stares at it. We got this because he has really bad allergies and needed him to stop licking/chewing his feet until they're under control. I bumped this down to a 4 because he can still lick his front toes a little, but it definitely helps a lot. It did take about 12 hours for him to figure out how to sleep comfortably in it, but he is one happy boy now!

Our lanky 7 month old German shepherd puppy hates his cone and due to a major surgery needs to wear it for two weeks. I’m aware that some styles of E- collar might not work for all dogs/ surgeries, but we thought we would give this a try. Was happy with the speed of shipping ( got it the next day). First thing I noticed was on Kong’s packaging the words “ For larger breeds with longer limbs, or breeds in between sizes , always size up.” I though maybe I missed it on Chewy’s product page? Went back to check and the product page only mentions in between sizes, which he isn’t. In the size we ordered he can reach his incision site. It may be that this product won’t work for us at all, but it Our lanky 7 month old German shepherd puppy hates his cone and due to a major surgery needs to wear it for two weeks.

This was our most used soft cone for indoors. Easy to put on and take off and big enough to keep him from reaching his stitches after being neutered. He slept in the bed w me wearing it and so I would have woken up if he’d been able to get to his stitches. After a few nights I realized he couldn’t so I slept better as well. He seemed very comfortable with this once he got used to it (wi a day) in the apartment and it doesn’t block their periphery vision either so he could get around just fine. I highly recommend this soft cone.

My sweet girl dog was playing with another dog at the park and things got a little rough. The larger dog bit her neck, leaving a large tooth wound. We have a hard plastic cone, unfortunately the hard edge came in direct contact with her wound. I saw this soft collar and thought we'd try it. The shipping was super fast, first off. The collar has a soft cloth shell and an inflatable rubber core. It was a bit hard to blow up but once I realized it's best to bite the hose piece, it inflated quickly. I ordered the medium for my full grown Basenji and its working like a charm! This deflates easily to store for the next time, hopefully that day never comes. I strongly recommend this collar

Our dog recently had surgery and was going to have to wear a "cone". We had tried a similar collar that was a different brand on a previous surgery - it was not wide enough to prevent her getting to the wound and we returned it. I purchased this Kong collar from Chewy and am very glad to report it has kept our pup from getting to her stitches! This collar is bigger around and wider than the brand we had tried before. Our dog's neck size is 14.5" which falls in the gap between "medium" and "large". We purchased size "large" and it works fine. The first night we tried it only using the velcro fastener - the next morning she had it off. We then put her collar through the loops of the cloud Our dog recently had surgery and was going to have to wear a "cone".

I am sure this has to be more comfortable than the plastic cone and she is able to drink water while wearing the collar. (and the collar does not get in her water bowl) Our pup has not seemed to mind wearing this collar and today is 11 days wearing it. The only negative is that the air valve does not stay pushed down into the collar - this is why I rated the collar at four stars. Our "pup" is an 11 year old border collie mix that is very active and agile - this collar has worked to keep her away from stitches that she could have easily reached without the collar! … more

My 80lb red nose had ACL surgery and had to wear the cone of shame. I felt so sorry for her, it is so uncomfortable and awkward. My husband found this Kong collar. It was a life saver, doesnt bother her it all. Even uses it as a pillow. We bought the size large since her neck is 19inches, it is adjustable with velcro. I diffently recommend. Purchase before surgery, it does deliver super fast though. Love.

It seemed too good to be true.....it allowed our pup to be more mobile than a cone. It seemed as though he really did enjoy his "neck pillow" when lounging. It DID manage to keep his foot out of his ear, and allowed air to his ear however, it DID NOT keep his paws out of his tongue's reach. Ok, that part I was willing to overlook. Good luck washing it. The zipper is so poorly made it was one and done. I zipped one time and it's toast. I truly expected Kong to make an apparatus such as this one with better material. Oh yeah, particularly because our poor dog's mega- cone IS MADE BY KONG. It is just incredibly difficult to get an ear infection under control when his FAVORITE THING TO DO is lay It seemed too good to be true.....it allowed our pup to be more mobile than a cone.

Inside the plastic cone... Yikes All kidding aside, his ear is looking normal again. I guess the small amount of time we had the "neck pillow" was enough to let the Medicine do it's job....with total air circulation but still. … more

I don't write many reviews but this cone collar works so great and I'm so happy with it I want to pass the word. I have had my sweet girl.. a pitty rescue for years but she has always been the type to resist and be stressed over anything out of her norm..she had to have surgery on her front leg..perfect spot for licking....I was very concerned how I was going to be able to take my eyes off of her for a second..a regular cone makes her to stressed..she won't relax etc..so I took a chance on this cone collar..I'm so happy I did..it not only works but she loves it..she actually cuddles with it at night..sleeps like a baby..she sleeps with me so I would notice if she was struggling with it..it's I don't write many reviews but this cone collar works so great and I'm so happy with it I want to pass the word.

I ordered two, 1 Medium & 1 Large (since we couldn't measure Simon's neck (the cone of Shame was on) hence the reason to acquire the Kong Cloud Collar system to see if it would do as it said.. It's DOES say on the packaging that it might NOT work for all dogs, I don't remember it saying that in the CHEWY ad for it, though (?) after we blew it up (another piece not noted by Chewy) with the KONG material overwrap in place & the dog's collar laced through the inner straps (as per instructions), it took myself & my 27 year old son to "wrangle" Simon to put the collar on him. We both felt quite satisfied that maybe Simon would like it better, we were WRONG!!

Simon has long long legs, for a 6 month old puppy ( he's a mixed with a lot of HOUND). as soon as we turned our backs, Simon had BOTH front paws pushing (like he was scratching his ears) the KONG ring onto his snout. Game over. will be sending BOTH back. … more

Our dog is a very active and a bit of a chewer. We didn't want the classic cone because we didn't think the dog would tolerate it. We figured we would try this Kong collar and it worked like a charm. The key was to make sure it was fully inflated (a light touch with a compressor saved my lungs...) and the dog sort of "took to it". Actually used it sort of as a pillow when she slept and didn't at all fight taking it off or putting it on. Also fully protected the surgery area where she was spayed. Highly recommended!
