Soft Dog Cone Collar for After Surgery - Care4U Adjustable Elizabethan Collar for Large/Medium/Small Dogs & Cats | Anti-Bite & Lick Protection | Translucent Reusable Pet Recovery Collar | Perfect for Post-Surgery, Wound Healing & Allergy Protection

Our 11 year old Scottish Terrier started obsessively and constantly licking and chewing on his front feet. No amount of verbal orders would get him to stop more than a few minutes. This "cone soft collar" is working out well so far. Easy to get on and off, very adjustable and has room for big Scottie ears. MacTavish isn't thrilled with his new adornment but is easily relaxing and napping with it on. We keep a keen eye on him to remove it when he needs to go outside or drink and eat. I think our dog resents having to wear this devise but perhaps it will help him learn NOT to lick his feet. Good buy, so far.I bought this for my dog after nose surgery for cancer. It's easy to get on and off and easy to adjust. Because the wide velcro closure part is so heavy, it is always at the bottom of the cone as the dog walks & sleeps. This means that any drool or other mucus collects on that polka dotted sticker. The sticker is paper, and though I clean it with a disinfecting wipe once or twice a day, it's not holding up well after a week. The good news is that the cone wasn't needed after two weeks (I alternated with the vet-provided cone).I would use this again, but I don't think I can keep this one for future use as I don't feel I can properly sanitize it, and the velcro is coming loose on the front edge. It was a good bargain for the purpose and my dog is doing very well post surgery.Very easy to use but it creases immediately so I bought one in a different material because I was fearful it would break while on my dogMy sweet furmate had a cancerous tumor removed on his flank. I purchased this large cone and a inflatable donut ahead of the surgery as i didnt know what to expect. Product arrived quickly and as described. I've used cones before and they have been extra long where i would need to trim the edge so my dog's nose could at least smell the ground and access the food bowl with assistance from humans. This cone for a large dog is almost too short.. Quality is great, the velcro closure is sturdy. The stickers on the velcro portion(has black polka dots in the picture) is sloppily placed with wrinkles throughout. I pulled back a small corner and it will be difficult to remove with a sticky mess, so this odd, wrinkly sticker will block some visual part for the dog. It is also not as clear as i thought, kinda looks like you are looking through a heavily fogged up window to give you an idea. Lets light in but can not tell what is on the other side of the cone. Also, there is nothing to attach this to the dog collar like some cones have. You could possibly punch a hole through the velcro part to attach to the collar in one spot. I would not recommend punching a hole in the plastic, foggy portion as material may rip if dog catches cone on something and it gets jerked around. Best for short nosed, large dogs.The velcro and adjustability around us wonderful, but this needs at least another 2” in depth to function properly.This cone is very well made and great quality for the price. I'm not actually using it on a dog, but around the base of a large potted plant to keep my cats from chewing on it and keep them out of the dirt. They're very creative and nothing I have done has kept them away from it. This will certainly do the job and didn't cost a bunch either. However, I can see this working well for a large dog. (I bought the Xtra Large size).I see two problems with this collar/cone. One, as others have mentioned, the sticker is really not necessary. The sticker is large and very sticky. Peeling it off was impossible so I had to use Goo Gone. Putting a sticky sticker on a cone is ridiculous. How about just an insert in the package or attach it as a tag?Second, the cone comes tightly rolled so trying to unroll it to use it for whatever your purpose, it rolls right back up tightly. It like snaps back to the tightly curled position. So be aware if you're using for your pet, that you may want to try to relax the roll before you put it on the animal.Other than those two issues, it's a well made cone so I did give it 5 stars and would buy it again if needed for other plants or pets.Bought this so our dog wouldn’t lick skin medication off before it soaked in and dried. Dog hates the cone, thinks that they have been bad and stands wherever I put it on with head down. But, I just leave it on until the medication dries. Think it’s normal for the most part. Definitely serving it’s purpose. Size is true to what measured, we ordered a large.It was easy to use, clean, and durable. The velcro was well placed. I measured my dogs neck and ordered by size. ; But my little dog managed to get it off his neck and hide it from me,Great idea in theory. It probably would work great for surgical purposes but we had a small wound to treat that didn't slow him down any.
