ZenPet ZenCollar Inflatable Recovery Dog & Cat Collar

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.

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.

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.

Love the quality of the cone, and the style but unfortunately it didn’t work for my escape artist. He ended up popping it this afternoon while escaping his crate at no fault of the product. He has separation anxiety. More comfortable then the plastic cone but he could still reach his neuter incision by going under his leg instead of around his shoulders (like most dogs try) .

I purchased this because my crazy rambunctious 9 month old pup had her spay and an extra toe removed. She was running into everyone and everything with the plastic cone on. She was also whining and helping all night from not being able to get comfy with the plastic cone on. I thought this sounded like the beat idea for her. However, I put it on her and let her go. She zipped in circles aroynd the room was already pawing and rubbing at it. Within minutes she had her head partially stuck trying to get it off and somehow managed to pop a whole in it. A friend told me they had the same problem with their dog. So I would say it depends on YOUR pet, their level of activity, behavior, etc. I DEFINATELY I purchased this because my crazy rambunctious 9 month old pup had her spay and an extra toe removed.

my 75lb German Shepherd was spayed and I decided to use this instead of the cone so the sound of the cone on her cage wouldn't scare her. She was able to get it off and chew is it up in many small pieces which I am sure she swallowed some in LESS THAN 12 HOURS......what a waste of money

My dog broke his leg and is wearing a splint. We were told this type of collar will make him better than the shame cone. However, it doesn't work at all. He can still get his foot with this collar on. The product itself has good quality and is well designed. It just doesn't fit every dog or every case.

I had high hopes for this collar I got for my Malamute after her spay surgery. Her collar fitting inside was a nice touch to help the collar stay in place. But, alas, my 7 month old puppy is a flexible houdini. Don't know how she did it but within 30 minutes of putting it on her she punctured a hole in the pillow. We repaired that hole with gorilla tape. The pillow lasted another week before she totally destroyed it overnight. She was able to sleep with it in the beginning, so it was apparently comfortable.

Purchased for our 18 month Lab being spade. Worked well for first couple days then she ran into something making a "v" tear in the cover and inside making it go flat. Duct taped the inflatable hole and around the outside cover and we've been good. She did manage to chew the strap off and I sewed it back on. Maybe making it out of a stronger material would be my only suggestion. I would definitely order it again. Thanks.
