KONG Cloud Collar for Dogs & Cats

My 60lb. boxer had surgery on her rear back leg and I thought I would try this. Pros- the fabric cover is very soft, it was easy to inflate, and it was extremely easy to put on and take off. It prevented her from reaching her leg too. I really like that the Velcro is long enough to adjust as needed. Cons- when I put it on her as shown in the picture she immediately went to push it off and her paw became stuck in the area where it connects. So I had to turn it upside down. She quickly figured out how to push the whole thing off with her paws. We started opting to only use this when we were home but otherwise it had to be the doctor cone. Today she not only managed to take it off but turned it My 60lb. boxer had surgery on her rear back leg and I thought I would try this.

Our Clumber Spaniel has a low body with a fpumd head. The poor girl couldn't take more than a few steps without the old school plastic cone ramming the ground and stabbing her neck. She was so aggravated by it that she would lie down for hours and just not move much. That lasted for about half a day and we quickly decided we weren't having it! After a ton of research that day, I decided to go with this item. It arrived the next day and the instant we replaced the horrible plastic cone with this, our girl perked right up!! She was ecstatic and so were we! She slept well with it on too, even seeming to think it was a pillow. It served its purpose well and she healed nicely from surgery.

Well, my dog was attacked by a dog while we walked. She had surgery on both of her sides. Skyy is a lab and it was so difficult using the typical cone. I ordered this collar and it arrived quickly. One problem was that when she tried to lick her sides she couldn’t, but this collar rubbed one of the surgical sites. When she started healing we tried to use the collar again. After about 5 days the collar would no longer hold air. It is at the curb in the garbage can right now.

I got this because it seemed it would allow our cat better peripheral vision. Our cat took the xs size in Kong's other, funnel shaped collar - DO NOT assume you can use the same size - this xs is way smaller than the other xs! Also, they don't show you the giant plastic inflation valve that sticks off one side, making it impossible to position the collar so that the animal is not being jabbed by the valve. May not matter for a larger size, but on the tiny one your pet WILL be poked by that valve. I guess the only use for this style is learning that the funnel style isn't really all that bad in comparison.

When I was searching for recovery collars and saw how good the ratings were for this collar I didn't hesitate to get it for our dog although it didn't work when we put it on him. We couldn't get it to inflate all that much and it was pretty mushy where our dog could easily turn and lick. Now, it could be the fact that he is a siberian husky and has a very long snout, but at this point, we don't know for sure. We bought a medium - maybe should have gotten a larger size. So, we had to use the cone that we purchased from the vet. Our dog hates the cone and for the first day just stood still and didn't move when we put it on him. So we adivse that if you do get this collar maybe size up if When I was searching for recovery collars and saw how good the ratings were for this collar I didn't hesitate to get it for our dog although it didn't work when we put it on him.

My 9 year old pit bull had Atropia surgery on his eye and came home with a huge e collar. It was cumbersome and he couldn’t eat or drink on his own. My boss recommended I look on line for something better. This is it! I ran his collar through the attached loops after blowing it up. It’s like an airplane neck pillow. My dog can run, eat, drink, and sleep more comfortably. This is amazing! It’s a little big for him , but he’s short and stocky with a big neck. But definitely order up if In doubt. This is just so much more comfortable for my dog.

This is my first time owning a dog that isn’t a “family dog” so I have all the responsibility. My goldendoodle just got neutered. He put up with his cone from the vet but he likes this cone A LOT more. Great visibility, ears can be out, seems more comfortable, doesn’t scratch when he bumps into things. Blowing it up was a little tricky because I couldn’t consistently pinch it the correct way. Only took a few minutes to get fully inflated tho! Would definitely recommend (but remember every dog is different). One downside, he doesn’t seem super comfortable sleeping in it, but otherwise it’s been great for him (ordered a large for my goldendoodle)

I bought two these as I got a dog spayed and one neutered. These kept the dogs from getting to their stitches. It kinda worked as a pillow for them when they were laying down. They could still eat and drink easily with it on. I think this product is great! I recommend this over the other style cones any day. Truly great!

I buy a lot of stuff from Chewy's so I am not criticizing them for the quality of this. We had our 5 month old pit bull puppy spayed and also had a hernia by her belly button repaired. We dropped her off at the vet on Friday and picked her up Saturday and the vet had a cone on her head. That thing was horrible so I started looking for one of these collars. I thought this one would be good because it is made by Kong but was I wrong. I ordered it on Saturday afternoon and we got it Tuesday evening. It was wonderful at first but on Friday night just 3 days of wearing it the velcro strap broke in half. Thank God my wife knows how to sew and repaired it good enough to use but when do velcro I buy a lot of stuff from Chewy's so I am not criticizing them for the quality of this.

Also we did have the correct size and properly attached by her collar. … more

This Kong Cloud Collar was a fantastic purchase! When it came time to get Jericho neutered I knew I wanted to find a different option for his recover instead of using the dreaded cone of shame. While it is certainly necessary to use something to prevent your pet from licking or chewing their incision, the cone of shame can be so stressful. My experience with the cone was incredibly stressful and I didn't want to relive that with Jericho. So I came across the Cloud collar and decided to give it a try. I am so glad I purchased this recovery collar! While Jericho wasn't thrilled to wear it he wasn't stressed out by the collar. He was able to move around easily and eat and drink without any issues This Kong Cloud Collar was a fantastic purchase!

He was a bit more restless when it came to sleeping in the crate with the collar on, but overall it worked out perfectly! We did pair the Cloud Collar with the Suitical Recovery suit because I wasn't sure which option would work best. I personally loved both! Jericho wore both for the first few days of his recovery and then we would go back and forth between the two just to give him a break. I loved using the cloud collar during the day while I was home, so the incision could get plenty of airflow. But at night I felt Jericho slept best wearing the recovery suit without the collar. I am so happy I purchased the Kong Cloud Collar and I will definitely use it in the future for other personal dogs or foster dogs! … more
