KONG Cloud Collar for Dogs & Cats

“Donut” looks and sounds great! I was really hoping it would work as my poor, 88 pound Rottweiler, barely fits in his crate with the traditional cone on, so I hoped with having the “donut” he would be more comfortable. I ordered an xtra large and it fit him great, with more room to adjust if he was any bigger. He did appear to like the donut more than the traditional cone, however, it did seem to make him hot. At first, he didn’t even try to reach his incision (he was neutered), then today, I watched turn to his right and lick the area with ease. He wore the “donut”over night last night and all day today. It appears during the day today, he licked himself as the incision area is now swollen “Donut” looks and sounds great!

This firs around the neck but does not work properly for my Italian greyhound who was neutered. He was able to reach the area of the surgery. The problem is that his nose is too long. I was able to continue using the collar by turning it upside down so the valve is on the bottom and also reversing it on his neck with the opening at his back, not under the nose, but he has still been able to reach some of the area by doing a contortionist act. I recommend this product only for short nosed dogs. Although it is hard to blow up it is well made and a great alternative to the Elizabethan collar.

Our 95 lb puppy was just spayed so we bought this to use instead of a traditional cone. We had used one of these before on our other dog when he was neutered and it was great! The cone freaked him out but this worked out great since he could see (the cone limits vision). Our newest puppy, though, chewed through two of these. Not the actual inflatable part...but the black piece with the velcro that holds the neck together. Next time, we’ll just use a clear cone. Not as comfy, but safer in my opinion. Our puppy tore the black thing to stringy shreds. Too bad it isn’t a design that has a clickable fastener much like a collar instead of the velcro. I would’ve given an improved design like Our 95 lb puppy was just spayed so we bought this to use instead of a traditional cone.

I have a 9lb chi and went with a small. It fits perfectly but if his neck was 1in larger we would be in trouble. We used the chart and measured. He tends to be nervous in general and his eyes aren't the best so this not blocking his vision as much as a regular e collar is a major plus! Also he had a more serous surgery and has to wear it 2 weeks so can't imagine doing that with a plastic one. He can sleep by resting his head in it. His cheeks are looking red and swollen though and I'm not sure if it's the cone or something he is doing but is on both sides as pictured. His tiny little sister protects him after surgery.

My dog was scheduled to be fixed. I ordered this in lieu of the “cone of shame.“ My order arrived in less than 18 hours after being ordered. While the sizes appeared to run a little small, I did get the size I ordered and it did fit perfectly. After its arrival, I tried it on my dog and he absolutely hated it. However, after his procedure, (approximately three days)I replaced cone with the pillow and he took to it immediately. I have two collars, and the thinner smaller one worked much better. He was able to get in and out of the dog door where with the plastic cone he was not. There is a velcro strap that closes the collar, and he did get his foot caught in it a couple of times.

It does work better with the Velcro strap at the bottom rather than on the top. They have way better accessible food and water. I wished I had these for my female when she was fixed a couple years ago. I would highly recommend this. … more

My little Maltese/Poodle was spayed. The cone really bothered her; but fortunately I had ordered one of these Kong collars. She pays no attention to it, can eat, drink, walk around without stumbling. The only problem I had, I could not blow it up by mouth. I used a battery air pump and it inflated in a couple of seconds. It has not lost any air since Thursday (4 days). I highly recommend this product!

The old plastic cones did nothing to help my fur baby Riley in his time of need. All it did was help him get a terrible ear infection. But he absolutely loves this Cloud Collar, actually gets excited when he sees it. Kept him from biting and kept his ears free and open so no chance of ear infection. Great product!

My senior dog recently had cataract surgery which required wearing the dreaded plastic cone 24/7 for a full two weeks. He was so miserable I purchased this softer ring and took the cone off for short periods (while he was being supervised), gently washed his face and let it dry while he wore the cloud collar. He was so much more peaceful during these "breaks". Very happy with this purchase!

I have a 5 year old staffordshire terrier (pit) who chewed up his back left paw and with this on he was still able to reach and pull off the sock I had also put on his foot to help stop the chewing. He was also able to kick it off from his neck (hard to do but never the less he succeeded) and while still on his neck he could even lick his front paws. For reference I bought a large because his neck is 15.5 inches and neck to snout is 9 almost 10 inches he is a very slim 50 pounds. He normally is a small/medium when I buy him things and I thought buying what I thought to be a bigger size would help but clearly it didn’t.

My dog didn’t seem to mind this collar at all after a major surgery. She wore the plastic E collar for a few days which seemed very uncomfortable for her. The inflatable collar arrived from Chewy and we switched over. It acted like a little pillow when she was lying down. She has a semi-long nose as she is part dachshund, but this collar kept her from licking her sutures (about 8-9 inches, which ran up most of her underside). She never tried to get this collar off and was able to relax. It made her recovery so much easier. The velcro is quite long on it making it very adjustable. She is a 12 pound mix breed and the size small was perfect. Highly recommend!
