KONG Cloud Collar for Dogs & Cats

We got the cloud collar for when we neutered are 5 month old German Shepherd. Unfortunately he could still reach his stitches. It works great for dogs that are not long. I wouldn't recommend it for German Shepherd or Great Danes or any other long large breed dogs. The cloud collar needed to be attached to his collar so that he couldn't paw it off and it kept it in its place. As for how a dog can do with the collar on. They can do everything. He eat, drank, slept, chewed bones and toys, and even against us trying he even played with my sisters dog a little bit. He even seemed to like it after a bit.

We had our puppy spayed and spent one miserable night with the white cone type of collar. We switched to this the next day and it was as if she hadn't had the surgery. No more thrashing about, no more ramming her head into everything out of frustration, no more getting stuck in the dog door, and no more jumping out of her skin when she barked (the white cones are like weird acoustic experiments on your pet). I had also ordered the BiteNot collar since I didn't know if the Cloud Collar would work. Our puppy liked the cloud collar better, but I think the BiteNot collar is a little more hard-core (if you have pets that are escape artists from typical e-collars, the BiteNot is for you).

The cloud collar is easier to put on (make sure you get your regular collar in the interior straps correctly -- we initially had it too loose). The BiteNot takes two people to put on, but then once on, is quite sleek and doesn't catch or bounce on anything (acts like a cervical collar). I will use the Kong Cloud Collar again if needed. I hope I won't ever need the BiteNot. … more

The collar worked the first four days then it started to fall apart. The velcro strap ripped off completely leaving a big 3 to 4 inch strip exposing the innertub. Then the straps where the collar goes thru have ripped at the seams so the straps are coming out and the collar is loose. The material is not good it needs something stronger. Plus the seams are so narrow that the sewing just stretches a little and the thread breaks and pulls out. The innertube is the only thing that seems heavy duty and stands up well. Very dissappointed with this Kong product. The experiences with other products have all been good, but not this.

I had to try to find another collar asap due to the surgery hadn't healed & Chewy couldn't get me one overnight. Needless to say he got his stitches out and had to go thru another surgery to replace them. So if I could give it less than a zero I would! The worthless collar cost me and my dog not only $$$ but longer recovery. Tho Chewy was very good when I reported the problems & are refunding me the cost of the collar. … more

My 1 1/2 yr old mini poodle was spayed and needs to be in an Ecollar for 2 weeks. I had the plastic one ( what mom doesn’t ), but she was very uncomfortable. I found this collar and decided to try it. She loves it!! She can eat, drink, and can even fit thru the doggie door with it on. The 1st time I took it off, to give her a break, she picked it up, moved it to the end of the bed, and layed her head on it like a pillow. I may not be able to take it away it when the time comes. I highly recommend you ditch that archaic plastic thing, and replace it with this.

My havanese shis tzu mix could still reach his incision area after he was neutered but it definitely deterred him from licking as much, that and some "No licking!" and we were able to get through the healing process without anything else. I spent the first 2 nights on the floor with him where I wrapped the smallest tee shirt I had around his body so he was more comfortable sleeping.

This collar was perfect for my Jack Russell who learned how to fold back the Elizabethan Collar by sliding on the run with his face! This collar works because it is comfortable, does not get in the way of eating or drinking! All the surgeries healed beautifully thanks to Chewy's fast delivery. At the end of use, I washed the cover on gentle cycle and let the air out of the tube. Good for next time!

So this is a really good replacement for an e-collar. However, it is not without design flaws.. The velro strap that holds it on is too long or the strap on the sleeve that it fixes to is to short thus leaving a long tail (see manufacturers photo) for her to use her paw to get off.. I think if the velcro webbing that it fixes to was longer, leaving no tail, it would work much better..

This collar is seriously the best! My labradoodle was getting spayed and I hate E collars so I decided to try the cloud collar. I was nervous how she would feel about it, if she could still reach her stitches, and how well she could sleep with it. Don't even hesitate to buy this! It's amazing! I put it on and not only did she not care, but she actually seemed more comfortable having it to rest her head on! And no she cannot reach her stitches. This thing is great! She is 50lbs and I ordered a large, it fits great!

Without a doubt, a great tool. Make sure the valve is set behind so the dog can't bite the piece off. Love the softness and how the dog can see and eat easily while using this... and it can serve as a pillow. The dog collar loops on the inside of this collar for security and quick attachment/detachment, along with the velcro on the outside. This is secure! Think of a neck pillow we humans use on the airplane: this is a great device for our beloved pup. I'm tempted to use myself. If only there was a fun design or some bling to make it even more snazzy!

I really wanted this product to work when my lab got neutered. I thought it was such a great idea I didn't really like the idea of putting him in a cone because they usually run into everything and then they can't even chew on a bone, but unfortunately that is what I had to do. I measured his neck and everything before I bought the cloud collar to make sure we were getting him the right size. But even with secured properly he was still able to get to his stitches. My suggestion for kong would be maybe to make it wider. Oliver doesn't have a short nose, but he also doesn't have a super long nose either so I thought this would have worked for him. Hopefully there will be updates in the future I really wanted this product to work when my lab got neutered.
