KONG Cloud Collar for Dogs & Cats

I ordered 2 of these for my 6 month old teacup Morkies. I measured their necks and, going by the size chart, determined they could wear an x-small. Since their surgeries are in 2 days, I decided to put them on the dogs. The collars are too small for either one of them. They are cheaply made and are not smooth when inflated. The cover seems to be too small for the inflatable pillow. The valve does not depress and remains sticking out, which I'm sure would not be comfortable to lay on and possibly is something the dog could chew on which would ruin the collar. Now I will have to buy "cones" from the vet. What I was trying to avoid when I purchased these to begin with.

We bought the Kong to see if it would prevent our senior cat (who no longer wants to try to jump/climb over the fence) from escaping the yard by crawling under the fence through rabbit and squirrel scrapes. It works! The Kong allows kitty to wander all over the yard without being leashed. The Kong and a quick-release collar together make an easy on/off, and kitty doesn't seem to mind wearing it. (Just FYI, our cats were raised from kittens to be on leashes when outdoors and have never been allowed to wander beyond the confines of their own yard.)

I got this for my five month old kitten after he was spayed. He was having trouble with the cone they gave me and my biggest problem was that when he used the litterbox he would get it on the edge of the cone. This is great because it lets him still eat and he has fought it way less than the cone. It was very easy to set up. If you have a cat that isn't a tiny kitten though I would recommend the small size and not the x-small, I don't know that that would have fit him.

The Kong Cloud Collar worked great for our 11 year old GSD. She had to have a mass removed on her elbow, and she couldn't reach the stitches with the Kong Cloud. I can see where this collar may not prevent the dog from reaching all body areas, though. I'd only recommend it for the upper/front body area. She doesn't seem to mind having the collar on at all -- it's that comfortable. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the collar is causing her to snore when she lies on her side. She's not able to lay her head flat on the ground. Other than that, it's been great!

My 10 month shiba inu just got neutered, and I decided to get him this kong cloud collar because a normal collar looked so uncomfortable and I was concerned he wouldn't like it. Everything was okay the first few hours he had it on, but I discovered that he can still reach the stitches and he was licking them! I'm not satisfied with this product. For the price, I would think it would keep him from biting or licking the wound, but this is not the case.

Using it during neutering recovery. For daytime use, with someone around to watch him - it works okay. He can still reach his incision but the collar slows him down enough for someone to stop this. A shorter necked puppy, (ours is cockapoo : 3/4 poodle), may not be able to reach the incision with this on. Puppy doesn't object to wearing this and does seem to like to rest his head on it. The cone shaped collars have been working better for night use.

In preparation for neutering of my 1 year old male Viszula of 56 pounds, I ordered this protective collar since Kong items are very durable. Not so with this item. Within 5 minutes my big boy had his toenail in the collar and loop attaching the Kong collar to his ripping the loop and a 6 inch seam in the protective soft covering, rendering it worthless. Fortunately, Chewy customer service was wonderful and refunded the cost without any return.

My dog was given a plastic cone at the vet after his TPLO surgery and the poor guy hated it. A friend has suggested a product like this so I gave it a try. He was snoring within minutes of putting it on! He’s so much more comfortable for him - and me, no more running into everything with a cone! - and it stops him from licking his hind leg. I think he actually enjoys it now, when I grab it he sits and slides his head right into it!

Our boxer had eye surgery. We received the Kong Cloud collar from Chewy.com two days before the surgery! It took him a day to get use to the collar, but it is so much better than the white cone the vet put on him after surgery. Our boxer was hyperventilating when we got home from the vet and my husband was afraid he would have a stroke or a heart attack. We put the Kong collar on and it is sooo much better than the cone! He will have it on for at least two weeks, when we return to the vet for a checkup.

This didnt last on my dog 4 hrs. I literally opened the box and put it on her since she needs to wear a cone for 3weeks after her spay. It was not that cheap in price.. But oh well i guess i will buy a different one for her... Thats comfortable, sturdy, and can last my puppy until she is all healed.
