ZenPet ZenCollar Inflatable Recovery Dog & Cat Collar

Bought this for my doggo with allergies. She kept chewing her skin raw/creating hot spots. It works very well for her front paws. But she is still able to reach or back paws and tail. I ended up getting a onsies for her to wear in addition to the cone. It helps when I can’t be home to monitor her. On the bright side she enjoys it and uses it as a pillow at night! I definitely would recommend it, way more comfortable than the standard plastic cone.

The air bladder had a slow leak. It deflated, and my dog chewed the valve and the cover around the valve. I salvaged the cover, and used a bladder (that fit) from another collar that the seams kept separating on, so I still have a workable collar. Overall, this collar does what it is supposed to do -- just had a flaw that became "fatal". I like the fabric of the collar -- not plushy which would encourage my dog to try harder to chew on it. I will probably order another one...

We received a rec from a friend to look into these instead of using the plastic cone after we got our pup neutered. So glad we did! We went through sizing confusion but for our 70 lb lab/golden mix we ended up with a size L. It kept him from the incision, was super easy to loop onto his collar and I liked that he could still eat or drink with it on and see where he's going. I've read that it didn't work for others depending on their dogs snout length and where the incision is but it definitely worked like a charm for us. Pup wasn't too happy with it (see photo) but it worked really well.

We tried MANY other inflatable recovery collars (That other company that starts with a "K" and makes very sturdy pet toys was a serious LET DOWN! DID NOT HOLD UP AT ALL!). I also tried the pool noodle thing - NOPE! And that huge, white plastic E-collar cone of shame the vet gave us, well, unthinkable! THIS inflatable has a sturdy cover that is removable and holds up for cleaning. It is also durable enough so that when your doggy scratches and claws and tries to get it off so he can get to his stitches (and believe me, he will, even if you only let him out of your sight for ONE SECOND!!) he will not be able to puncture the durable ZenPet collar!

This was the only collar that worked for both my 85 pound pittie and my 70 pound English Bull Terrier after their surgeries, and they were BOTH very determined to get to their stitches! My pampered pups could sleep in it and eat, drink, etc. reasonably comfortably! THANK YOU ZenPet! … more

Jack had to have knee surgery and we were looking for a solution more comfortable than a traditional cone as he will have to wear this for quite some time. I ordered him a large, he's a 60lb Aussie Mix with his neck measuring about 16"-17". It's working out great so far! The material is fairly sturdy and he's unable to bite it himself so I foresee it lasting as long as we're hoping for.

I knew my dog would hate a cone and probably be able to get out of one, so I decided to try this, as it has the loops for the collar to attach, and it worked perfectly. I tried it for one day without a collar and he got it off fairly easily so if your dog is an escape artist like me, definitely utilize the loops and attach to the collar!

I got this for my dog to keep her from chewing on her butt and tail due to her a topic dermatitis. But she hates it and actually it doesn't look like its comfortable for a dog with a short neck. It fits her neck size,, but I will have to find something else because her anxiety has gotten worse having to wear it. She whines more when its on. I don't want her so unhappy. I will keep searching in case Chewy has something more comfortable. The photo shows a bigger dog and looks comfortable.

This product worked well. I liked it because it was more comfortable for my dog and it worked well while in the crate. The Velcro strap held securely and the collar was easy to blow up and did not leak. Cover is nice and wiped clean. My disappointment was it was not finished around the opening where the air spout is located. This is a critical area and it is showing sign of wear... fraying after its first use.

This is SO much better than using the usual ‘satellite dish’ or ‘cone head’ type. This is way more comfortable & less awkward. My puppy didn’t bump into everything & slept & ate easily. She didn’t seem to mind it at all & it kept her from messing with her spay incision!

This collar seems to be more comfortable than others and has a removable cover which is nice. We have a 50 pound goldendoodle and the collar is not large enough to stop her from chewing on her hindquarters or scratching her head. It helps but it doesn’t stop it.
