KONG Cloud Collar for Dogs & Cats

I bought this for my 7 month old large breed puppy for after his neuter. He was neutered just 3 days ago. The cone spins so the velcro strap winds up being near his mouth. He gnawed that strap right in half in that short time. It's currently duct taped but that's unacceptable as I worry he will chew that too and that wouldn't be good for digestion. Since he's so long he can still reach his butt with the cone on as well. I had to reinflate it to make sure it was big enough. It helped at first but I probably have to inflate it again as he is back to being able to reach his butt. It is much softer than the plastic cones so when the pup runs into you it's not so painful. It's also more forgiving I bought this for my 7 month old large breed puppy for after his neuter. He was neutered just 3 days ago. The cone spins so the velcro strap winds up being near his mouth.

Disappointed in all options and unsure where I'm going next since the current pup still has another week before I can take the cone off. … more

I was very disappointed with this item because my 14 year old lab was still able to reach a sore that she has just under her tail and at 14 she's not the most flexible dog. I purchased the Kong brand because they have a great reputation even though there were cheaper ones, but since she can still reach the spot I could have just bought one that was much cheaper. I think it would be great for a dog that's not very flexible and who isn't a chewer (mine isn't) for something like stitches from being spayed, but from what I saw from my dog she can still reach ever part of her body except her stomach. I do have to say that when the collar is fully inflated it makes somewhat of a difference.

We did inflate it fully even though the instructions say not to, but she's 14 so she's not very active so it's not as if she's going to pop it. It was the only way to make it hard enough that it wouldn't "give" or collapse when she bent to lick herself. … more

Our pup has something going on with her butt and we needed something to keep her from licking until her appointment. She’s been wearing this “pool floaty” for a week now and it’s doin it’s job. She can still eat and drink, and even uses it as a nice pillow to see out the window when she lays down. I even tried it on because I was worried she would get a crick in her neck but it’s actually pretty comfy, just bulky. Works well and she doesn’t seem to be too bothered by it so A+ for us.

Got a medium for my 7 month (30lb) puppy for post spay as an alternative to the cone. It was great during the day when I or my husband could keep an eye on her and keep the Velcro in the back. But in the early hours this morning in her crate the Velcro came round to the front and she got her jaw under it to gnaw the Velcro clasp and off this thing came. She's a big chewer so I'm not surprised and would recommend this to non-chewers or only for use while supervised.

It was a great product, easy to put on. Unfortunately, my boy is a 75 pound Anatolian mix and destroyed it within 24 hours. He used his foot after pushing it against the wall to hold it and ripped the velcro straps off and then proceeded to eat it. Lol. I think it is great concept for dogs not quite as handy as Luke. I have recommended it to a rescue I work with. Much more comfortable then the stiff plastic ones.

This collar really does a good job of keeping my dog from licking a wound. I bought 2 sizes because our dog was inbetween the sizes offered. When I tried to return the unused one, the friendly customer service rep said just donate it to a shelter or vet, which I will do. Chewy reps are always so nice and I really like doing business with this company!

This collar was so much more comfortable than the cone the vet gave us after my puppy's surgery. My dog was able to play with toys, chew on bones, and generally be a lot more comfortable with this collar. He even used it as a pillow and fell asleep on it - it was a very convenient headrest! Once he was used to it, which happened really quickly, he really didn't seem to notice it. The only issue was it didn't totally stop him from reaching his incision. So if we needed to use it again, I might get a bigger size. I'm not sure, since the size I got was based on the size of his neck. But I would definitely give it another shot over using a cone!!!

This concept is a great idea however Abby has a small head compared to her body and she was able to push it off using her front paws. She had double ACL surgery so we wanted an alternate to the e-cone to keep her away from her stitches but unfortunately she was able to get it off so we just ended up using the e-cone. Maybe I needed a smaller size or maybe it would work for a different type dog but it just did not work for us.

My dog recently had surgery on her eye and was sent home from the vet in a standard plastic cone. Because she’s a chihuahua her head is close to the floor and the cone dragged along the ground and generally caused her a lot of difficulty. I ordered this inflatable collar from Chewy and it arrived the next day! It was easy to use, and my dog had a much easier time eating and getting around our house. I’m so glad I bought it.

My little Westie had spay surgery and came home with a cone, which was a disaster. She couldn't even walk outside without catching the cone everywhere. The vet had discouraged us from getting a collar because she said they come off. I bought the Kong collar and it was the best decision I made. Emmy was able to walk around, eat, drink and snuggle with us, but couldn't reach her incision. It was so secure, there was no way it could come off. Highly recommended.
