ZenPet ZenCone Soft Recovery Dog & Cat Collar

Our dog had eye surgery and I just wanted a cone to keep her from getting her foot to her eye and allow her to get in/out the dog door. The only issue using it with the dog door is it is a little too flexible and had flipped backwards against her shoulders one day. It's nice that it has transparent panels so her head isn't in a tunnel but it is a little floppy so it tends to lay against her head. It's easy to put on but does require a buckle style collar. It's a good cone, it just won't work for all dogs or all situations.

I bought this cone for my husky after her spay. I did not want to deal with the hard plastic cone from the vet! I feel like this was a great choice. PROS: * softer, less damage to objects and people and more pliable * clear areas so dog can still see out, and you can see in * fastens to any size collar with elastic bands, very secure fit * dog was NOT able to remove it * kept dog from being able to lick spay incision * durable double Velcro for a secure fit * fairly durable; withstood 10 days of abuse from a 7-month old husky! CONS: * if the plastic areas bend, they can snap or crack and break with no real way to repair it (super glue sometimes works) * dog can still find a I bought this cone for my husky after her spay.

They freak out way less when it's done this way! As she healed and felt better, she abused this cone pretty badly. She found a way to chew it at one point near the end, but not to the point of compromising its effectiveness. She never made a huge effort to remove it, but when she did try, it didn't budge. We had it through a collar and it was a perfect fit. I never worried about it falling off. I highly recommend this cone. It's way better than hard plastic and stands up to being bashed around. After ten days, I could still use it again if I need to, it just needed a good scrubbing. The large fit my husky perfectly. Her snout didn't exceed the length of the cone, and it wasn't too bulky. She could not get at her belly. … more

I thought the mix of hard plastic and fabric was a good idea, but boy was I wrong. It’s difficult to wash and keep clean. The sections made of hard plastic snapped in half and there’s really no way to repair it. I taped it so it doesn’t scratch my dog’s head or face. I wouldn’t recommend this. Soft fabric cones are a much better choice.

Our 8-month old puppy somehow got the edge in her mouth and chewed up the plastic part within 24 hours. Not recommended for chewers or dogs with a long snout. It could work for smaller dogs or pups who aren't interested in chewing things. Giving 2 stars because it did seem more comfortable for her than the plastic cone we ended up switching to.

This is my second one of these. It's all that works on my boy. He thrashes in a plastic cone and eventually gets out of it. I can't get this one to stay in a firm in a circle but my dog prefers when it sits on his head it seems. When he bumps into stuff it's not as scary to him because the cone just collapses. And when he runs into me it doesn't hurt like the plastic ones! Measurements seemed accurate but I already knew what size I needed since I've had one before. If your dog struggles in the plastic cone and the donut doesn't work for what you need, for sure give this a try.

I had this cone in a smaller size and my pup could get at her spot so I ordered the next 2 sizes so that I wouldn't have to wait. 1 was perfect!!!! I went to start a return for the other AND not only did they refund my purchase of the too big collar BUT they told me to gift it to a shelter so that I didn't need to go thru the return hassle. That's why CHEWY is the best!!

Our golden is a recent tripawd and has started to lick her front paws obsessively. As medicine is bad for her already weak system, bone cancer diagnosis - hence the tripawd, we opted for a cone, which works plus it was cheaper then pet store!

i LOVE this cone! i got it for my 8 month old boxer puppy who recently fractured her leg. she was chewing on her previous splint so the vet gave her a plastic cone, she absolutely hated it. so i got this one to see how it worked out and she loves it! it’s flexible enough to wear so she can eat and everything but not to where she will start chewing on her new splint. the only downside is that you will need to buy a larger size then you think, i got a large for her and it fits perfectly, so make sure you get a bigger size then what you think would fit your dog.

Material is canvas with no support to keep it straight, outward. Can easily be bent by my dog to reach her wounds. When she lays down, the upper side of the cone would flop on top of her head. Would not reccomend.

First of all, it didn’t say we needed a collar, which luckily we had for our cat, but don’t really use. Also, it flopped on his head and just weighed down on him. He couldn’t walk and it was really heavy and looked really awkward. It’s not intended for cats, this is mostly for dogs as a dog collar would most likely fit this (cat one did with much difficulty and we had to extend it at the longest and then make it shorter again). And that’s considering we have a pretty large cat.
