All Four Paws Comfy Cone Pet Cone for Dogs, Cats, Medium, Black - Comfortable Soft Dog Cone Collar Alternative for After Surgery, Wound Care, Spay, Neuter - Dog and Cat Recovery Elizabethan-Collar

This has been perfect for our lab/collie mix dog. She's about 48lbs and we got the Large. Fits her perfectly so she can't get at the hot spots we're trying to have treated during this allergy season. It's a little more expensive than some of the other cones, but so far it has been durable, she's comfortable and has been able to sleep in it fine, and the velcro is STRONG, so she's not able to just toss it off. Be forewarned - the velcro is very durable...she had her head on my husband's feet at one point, and got stuck...the velcro stuck to his socks. Which for entertainment purposes was hilarious, but it is something to watch out for. Like anything, dogs shouldn't be unsupervised. But all in all, worth every penny!

Because our 21 pound miniature schnauzer got a little scrape on his leg that he wouldn't let heal, we had to make the unpopular decision to cone our little guy. We got him a medium comfy cone and it was a perfect fit to protect him from himself and his impassioned licking. He wore the comfy cone for about a month, had no problems sleeping with it on, and very few issues (addressed below) with it. While our pup has used the inflatable travel pillow-like "cone, but not a cone" in the past, because of the spot where he was licking that the travel pillow wouldn't block, we knew he needed a real cone this time. Our dog LOVES sleeping in very human-like poses - on his back, resting in a pillow, passed out in a seated position in front of the TV - so we knew that a hard cone wouldn't work well for him. While he didn't love it when we put on the comfy cone, he didn't hate it. He had no problems sleeping with it at all and it did the job to protect him. He could kind of eat and drink with it on (the struggle was very real), but the sleeping and protection made it totally worth it for us and him. Our dog occasionally buries his food and water first with his imagination, which was kind of a hilarious dump truck-like disaster sometimes with the cone. It made his cone smell like dog food and he got a questionable amount of food into his mouth because he's not very good at negotiating angles or figuring out alternate routes in general. It's definitely possible to eat with the comfy cone on because he did it many times over the course of the month looking like a possessed and hungry funnel, but your mileage may vary. In dog world, I think of the cone like a medical device. The relative rating is more about the function than anything. For people, if you broke your arm and got a cast, it'd be tough to ever give a cast 5 stars because you're pretty annoyed the whole time, but if it did the job like it was supposed to and did it well in a sucky situation, that's pretty much a 5 star product. That's how we thought of the comfy cone. I think this is a great product overall, but here are some of the key points that I can think of: USAGE - Because we attach our leash to our dog's collar, we didn't weave his collar through the cone. It was a lot faster and more reasonable to velcro it around his head separately from his collar. - We only had our dog wear his comfy cone in the house. Because it's so opaque, it was pretty disorienting for him to wear on walks and made him walk really weird. We gave up on that very quickly. Luckily, it only takes a second to take this off and put it back on. GOOD STUFF - Easy to put on and take off your dog's head using the velcro. It's seriously simple, even if you don't weave it through your dog's collar. - Velcro is a lot more secure than you'd think. Our pup only wriggled himself out of the cone one time in a month, which was probably because we put it on too loosely. - Dogs can really sleep with in it on. Our guy really didn't care. He passed out like a little portable satellite dish . - Material doesn't scratch the dog's neck. - Protects really well as long as your dog doesn't have a really long nose. - Pretty easy to store. We went on a trip and had to bring the comfy cone with us - no big deal. - Outer material on edge is a little reflective. We didn't really have our guy wear his cone outside after the first couple days, but it was kind of cool to see. - If you get a medium size and up, you can wear it on your neck and make some funny jokes. Your dog will appreciate the shared experience. NOT SO GOOD STUFF - Dogs are not big fans of the velcro sound. We went with the band-aid "TEAR IT OFF AS FAST AS YOU CAN" method instead of drawing out the sounds for best results. - Because it's made of similar material to a winter jacket, it will pick up about 25% of smells. Our pup is pretty stinky and the cone didn't get really bad. However, if you have your dog wear the cone on walks, it will probably get stinky because the cone will be all up in the dirt, brushing up on plants with pee on them, etc. - Because it's opaque, your dog has no peripheral vision. There will be some disorientation in the beginning, but our guy calmed down pretty fast. - Like any cone, if you crate your dog, it will be an adventure for them to get in wearing this comfy cone. - If you have a lot of stairs or doggy stairs in your house, there will be some missteps where your dog hits his face on the stairs and gets really discouraged. - Like any cone, eating may be a mess. - It's not a perfect circle. Ours would sometimes end up as a triangle, sometimes a square, but it always did the job!

At one time or another dog owners will probably have to humiliate their dog by making them wear an "Elizabethan Collar" to keep them from scratching or licking surgical wounds. Our pug Spanky wore one, of course, after he got neutered and did quite well with it. But I hated the bulky plastic design. When recently we decided to get another one to prevent from licking some spots of irritated skin, I opted for this Comfy Cone. It looked a bit easier to use and not to mention, more comfortable. The Small Comfy Cone is designed for pets with necks measuring 10 to 14 inches around and 5.5 inches from neck. It just barely fits around my pugs neck. It has 3 Velcro straps on either side of the cone as well as a Velcro tab. With Spanky, we use the Velcro tab and press it on the first strip of Velcro on the other side. It also has little tabs which enable you to fit it to the animal's collar, but we don't use those. We only use this collar for short periods of time when we notice him starting to lick his tender spots. It's quick and easy to put on, so it works really well for us in this situation. The collar is also available in medium, large, and extra large sizes. The length from the neck is just perfect. It's not as long as the plastic E-collar he got from his vets. Spanky was always bumping into everything with his "satellite dish" as we called it. With his Comfy Collar, he doesn't bang into as many things. On the negative side, this collar, totally blocks their peripheral vision. I would advise using with caution outside of the house for that reason. Another nice feature is this cone folds flat so it's easily stored. I ended up throwing away his first plastic Elizabethan collar because it was too bulky to easily store. Spanky also is able to take naps with it on as it flattens out a bit when he lays down. The collar is easy to clean. I wipe it off on the inside with a damp towel. My one gripe is that the Velcro strips are dog hair magnets. Pugs are notorious shedders and so, of course, the Velcro strip is covered with Spanky's hair. The good news is that he doesn't have longer hair like a poodle or other breeds, so I don't have to worry about his hair getting stuck in there and then ripping it out when I take off the collar. Overall, a very good product and a better choice than a plastic E-collar.

my dog was chewing his butt/tail end and giving himself a reoccurring yeast infection there, making himself completely bald with red, irritated skin & he smelled like a corn tortilla. he's 3, so has not yet worn a cone, so we bought this one because we knew the plastic kind would be miserable. now, i have a VERY good boy, and he does just about anything i put him through without a fuss so it was expected he would handle the cone with little issue, your mileage may vary by dog how well they tolerate it. he only wears the cone at night which is when he would chew himself. this cone is GREAT! i purchased the XL for my 95lb GSD/rottweiler/lab mix with a very thick neck (22") i was concerned the XL would be too small, but it's adjustable and fits him well. it's durable, flexible, my dog can still sleep in his normal positions, it really doesn't phase him at all. can still eat/drink and it keeps him from chewing his hind end which is why we ordered it, but it will be useful in the future if he needs to wear a cone for other reasons, highly recommend.

absolutely pleased with this product. (size small for 13lb cat and could not have been any smaller and fit) lots of attention to detail and over-engineering. would have paid twice the price and still considered it a bargain. my cat really does notice the difference between this and the several other's i have tried. he relaxes way more with it on than the others.. it is obviously more comfortable for him. the loops for the collar.. the removable stays.. the cover for the unused velcro strip.. the tab closure.. all well thought out. this collar is leaps and bounds above the others, and i have tried 4 different ones in addition to the comfy collar. being able to fold back the collar so the cat can eat and drink absolutely does work. you can leave in all the stays or just leave in the ones that suit your cat's purpose. or leave them all out. this collar is totally configurable for your cat's situation. i suspect some of the neg reviews are due to overall frustration from having an animal that needs something like this in the first place. true sizing can be a challenge, but that is not due to design, but to the physiological diversity of cats in general. hey if it doesn't fit, go to the next size. it is obviously a challenge for all brands, as i see none have a 5 star rating. the comfy collar deserves a 5 star rating, though.. it really does. this is not just some cheap peace of flat plastic. as for the visibility issue.. meh. my cat could see no better with the "clear" collars (which are not truly visibility clear - look thru one and see). he acted no different from having the blurry vision which the clear collars offer and the opacity of the comfy collar. regarding the collar being heavy.. i just don't see it. this collar weighs no more than the other four flat plastic collars i purchased. my cat holds his head up just as high with this one as the others. actually, since he is more comfortable in the comfy collar, his movements and posture are more natural. of course, no cat wearing any kind of a head covering is going to be his normal graceful self. cats will always exaggerate the effect of anything added to their body. i paired the comfy collar with a cat harness. what a great system. you can leave the comfy collar more loose around the neck because it is connected to the harness via loops. just perfect. and unlike one other reviewer, it was simple for me to remove and replace the stays while the cat was wearing the collar. you just have to push them from the opposite end from the exit hole. one custom addition i did have to add (and i would likes to see comfy collar come up with something like this) was a neck band below the collar to prevent neck scratching. my cat was scratching his neck raw. i just took a cottage cheese tub and cut the bottom off and put it around his neck.. then put the comfy collar on. the bell of the tub rides on his shoulder and the comfy collar kind of just funnels in to the other end of the tub. the tub thingy is loose enough that it just spins when he scratches it, yet will not come off because of how the comfy collar bells out. anyway it solved the neck scratching problem. i know the folks at comfy collar could come up with something way better than my poor idea.. maybe a little wide band type collar made out of the same material as the comfy that velcros in place and used in conjunction with their collar... or maybe an extension that velcros into place. anyway, the comfy plus harness and my tub has my cat on the mend! i very highly recommend this solution for your cat or dog.

This cone arrived on time and was well packaged. I purchased the Xlarge for my 70 lb Golden Retriever and I feel the size was appropriate. The cone is surprisingly thick and soft but does have four bars that run through it to hold it's shape. It has several velcro strips to hold it closed and can be adjusted quite a bit in size. It has tabs on the ends where the neck goes through to attach to the dogs collar. I really like this cone as far as cones go and I will use it again if the need arises, but there are some negatives that caused me to change my mind about using it for the intended purpose this time around. 1) My dog was wearing the standard vet purchased plastic cone that cut into my legs and knocked the paint off the wall. I thought the soft cone would fix that but I found the bars that hold the cones shape also make it stiff on the end of the cone and it hurt just as much when my dog ran into me. 2) The tabs on the neck end of the cone used to attach to the collar can only be attached by a buckle collar that can slip through the tabs and buckle around the dogs neck exactly like a belt goes through pants. My dog wears a martingale collar which has no buckles or snaps so I was not able to attach it to her collar. As soon as I put it on her she immediately pulled it off her head. 3) The inside of this cone is black and that is quite a contrast to the semi see-through cone my dog was wearing. I found when I put this cone on my dog that she became scared because it completely and immediately blocked her peripheral vision. She was used to the feel of the old cone but was not used to her vision being restricted. 4) This cone is hot! My dog was not in it long before I could feel how hot and humid it became around her neck, ears and face. I was concerned about the moisture and heat affecting her ears and her all around comfort. I really like this cone and think it would work well for dogs living in cooler climates and if the dog is allowed the time to adjust to it. In the end I decided to stick with the plastic cone for the duration of my dogs ailment but will give it another try if the need arises in the future.

Honestly I laughed until my eyes watered when i put this on my poor corgi. I got the medium XL due to the fact she has a long face and a long tongue I wanted to make sure that tongue got no where near anything. After I got my laughter under control I noticed Leia didn't really seem to mind the cone but she had no real perception of how close she was to anything so she was walking into everything. Thankfully since is the cone is nice and flexible it didn't dig into her neck or hurt her in anyway. I had a horrible time finding a cone that had the dimensions I needed but comfy cone had me covered. She had to wear the cone due to being put a medication by the vet that she ended up having an allergic reaction to. Leia has a ton of allergies to begin with but this put her over the edge for itchy spots and she viciously attacked them with tongue. Hence why she ended up in the cone of shame at least this one was comfy. The best thing Leia learned to do while wearing the cone was come up behind her brother and push it into his butt to scare him. The cone worked wonders for her. I only had to let her wear it for 3 or 4 hours before she figured out that she only had to wear it if she licked. I'm proud to say she hasn't needed to wear it again. Every time she would start to lick I would grab the comfy cone and tell her if she didn't stop licking she would need to wear it. I also have another corgi name Trooper who has allergies and a love for licking his feet during flare ups. I now ask him if he'd like to wear the cone or stop licking. He has opted to stop licking which is fine with me. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a cone for there dog. Leia didn't seem to mind it and was able to move around and relax with it on. Due to the length she was not able to eat or drink with it on so I would remove it for that. The cone is super sturdy and seems like it would be easy to clean.

Great quality, but too stiff for my 6‑pound Maltese. Removing the stays didn’t help with flexibility. A soft donut collar worked much better for her. I rated it 4 stars because the quality is excellent and there’s nothing wrong with the product itself — it just wasn’t the right style for my little Maltese.

Good quality, looks to be a comfy collar, but sadly I had to return as the size ( Medium Extra Long ), was too small for my Irish Setter. As it came from abroad it was a bit of a flaff to return, which was the only reason I did'nt reorder. Tried everywhere but it was'nt available in uk.

Per un pastore tedesco maschio ho comprato misura 25cm. Se chiude malapena, ma ho preferito così in modo que non fosse troppo ingombrante con la misura successiva. Resta belo aderente al collo, il cane non riesce a sfilarlo e non ho nemmeno usato con il collare. Le stecche, nel mio caso, non sono state necessarie. Più comodo senza. Avevo già usato in passato quelle gonfiabili. Sono senza dubbio i più confortevoli. Ma non sono adatti a tutti i casi. Questo invece è perfetto per ogni necessità. Un po' caro, ma è un prodotto di qualità. Consigliato l'acquisto.

We're on our third comfy cone; loving the wider section of velcro with our recent purchase .These are very well made and stand up to our Ridgebacks who are tough on them while their split ears heal. Stitching is quality as we've never had an issue with it coming apart at the seams. Very warm and comfortable; once they settle in they're content in them as that double as a pillow. You'll need to have a collar as it's not included. It We have 2 Ridgebacks, approximately 90 lbs each, large is the perfect fit for them. This is the only cone we will buy now. It stands up to the heavy scratching while their ears heal. Calms them down as well; helpful if your dog has anxiety.

Se coloca muy facil y mi perro esta mucho mas comodo que con los collarines de plastico. Buen material y duradero.

Our dog had developed a nasty allergy to something all around his head and had been scratching so much he was starting to go bald (not to mention the effect on his skin!). We resorted to using a standard plastic 'cone' to stop him scratching as nothing else seemed to work, but he quickly developed an aversion to it - not because of the cone itself, but because he's so little ( a shih tzu) that he bumps into everything and can't see over the edge of it, not to mention the fact that it weighs so much that whichever way his head moves, the cone overbalances it to his max range of movement. On advice from his vet, we looked up the comfy cone and were rather worried by the colour, since he's a rescue dog and generally terrified of anything big and black (made for some interesting mornings when he saw dad in his black dressing gown when we first got him!). However, at our wits' end with the plastic one, we took the plunge. It was a little on the small side, but to give an example of the reaction...we've just ordered the next size up! All our worries were for naught, as he absolutely loves the thing. The small is more suited to a small terrier or chihuahua than a stocky shih tzu, so I would recommend anyone looking for one for the same breed to make sure to consider the size of their little gal or fella. If he/she is on the thin side, a small would fit well, however if he/she is on the bulkier end of the shih tzu spectrum, a medium would be better. The 'comfy' in the name is well deserved, as it's nice and soft, but has stiffeners in it to keep it rigid enough to restrict movement, and it has foam between the fabric layers to add stability without reducing comfort. There are lots of strips of velcro for adjustment, and it even has a spare strip to cover exposed velcro - a very considerate touch. The rim, while looking white in the picture, is actually a reflective strip of the kind you'd find on high-vis vests, and there are elastic loops around the base to slip a collar through. This makes it very convenient as it means that, if they have trouble drinking, you can simply unfasten and refasten it without removing it altogether. Our little guy's been prancing around like the king of the hill in his new collar, all full of pride as he looks so smart in it, and the colour actually seems to be calming him rather than bothering. All in all, I'd highly recommend this over a plastic cone, and am keeping the smaller one for nighttime use (since it's just large enough so it'll work well as a cushion) but buying a new larger one for daytime. Looking forward to it arriving!
