Soft Cat Cone, Adjustable Cat Recovery Collar After Surgery to Prevent Licking Wound, Protective Cat Neck Cone, Comfortable Pet Elizabethan Collar for Cats Kittens and Puppies (Medium)

Light weight and perfect depth for short snout dog breeds
Our Shih Tzu recently had surgery on his right hind leg and it was critical to recovery that h doesn’t lick or bite at the incision site once the bandage was removed, 4 days post op. The hospital had put him in a high plastic cone in which he can neither eat or drink. We changed to our inflatable neck pillow cone but it could almost reach the leg in spite of his short face, so after much research, we settled on this cone. We have it only 4 days but so far it has been a life saver. What do we like about it: it’s very light weight, the part that touches the neck isn’t nearly as sharp as that of the typical plastic cones, it has very strong and wide velcro closure (rather than the awkward closure of many plastic cones) so it stays in place. It can be made flatter or more cone shaped as it’s made of multiple panels that can be somewhat oriented, it’s soft material that you can clean easily. Also because of the multiple panels, it folds into a relatively small size for storing or traveling. The 4.5 in depth makes it ideal for any short snout canine breed. Finally, our dog is able to sleep, eat and drink when wearing the cone, and of course, to give us dirty looks because he knows it’s sold for cats.

Soft and flexible but works
My male cat needed neutered and they wanted $25 for a hard plastic generic collar. I found this collar and was a lot cheaper than the collar in the vet’s estimate and a lot cuter so I ordered it. It is soft and flexible and worked well. He had a little trouble eating & drinking with it turned outward (it would get wet) so when time for him to eat, I would flip it inwards. He had no trouble eating, drinking, and sleeping with it flipped inwards and it still kept him from trying to lick his surgical area. After one day, I just kept it that direction because he seemed to have a little more freedom and didn’t seem to bother him as much. It is a little heavy and so he hung his head down while wearing it when turned outward. He was 6 months old and this collar adjusted down to his size and would also work on an adult cat. The velcro is strong stayed closed even when he tried with all his strength to get it off.

Great alternative to the plastic cones
My cat recently had surgery and the plastic hospital cone was irritating her chin. She was constantly trying to get it off, and looked very uncomfortable. I purchased this as an alternative. Works fantastic! It is lightweight so she hardly notices it. My cat is approx. 11 pounds, and I purchased the size medium. It stays put around her neck and yet is comfortable enough that she is very mobile, can even jump onto counters, and yet she can’t remove it. It is also easy for her to sleep in it. I take it off while she eats, but only because she’s a messy eater and I quickly put it back on after she’s done. The velcro fastener is very easy to use. Takes seconds to put collar on or take off. I am very pleased with this cat recovery collar as my cat hardly notices it, and yet cannot scratch her surgery wound or hot spots, and she’s healing nicely. Also the price was not too bad either, and the collar is cute.

Large was too big, and velcro gets weak with time, but 5 stars for performance and comfort
Overall, this is a very good collar. My cat got an aural hematoma and needed surgery for it. His ear was covered in stitches, and this cone prevented him from scratching his ear. He could not tolerate the plastic cone from the vet, but he did not mind this galaxy cone at all.This cone doesn’t inhibit peripheral vision which makes it less stressful to wear. It’s soft, so bumping into things with it doesn’t hurt. It stays on well, but it started falling off around the 2 week mark. The velcro gets weak with time. However, because the velcro isn’t super strong, that also means it’s easy to remove and not super loud while pulling the velcro when we wanted to give him a cone break for supervised grooming time.According to the size chart, the large should fit my cat. He is 18.5 pounds and large-boned. His neck is about 10.5 inches around. However, we had to return the large because it did not fit even when we tightened it as much as possible. We waited for the medium size to come, and the medium fit him well with just about a half inch of the velcro not overlapping completely.

Muy buena calidad, en mi caso el grande era demasiado grande, el mediano lo tuve que ajustar para que no le apretara el cuello, lo que se hace muy fácil ya que el velcro es muy fuerte. Mi gatita hace de todo sin problemas, está muy cómoda con el collar puesto. Una excelente compra! Mi gatita y yo lo amamos 💕
