We found a severely injured kitten and needed a soft e-collar since she had neck wounds. The collar never irritated her neck and also kept her from scratching as it healed. At times we used two of these collars to completely cover her neck and shoulder area. One collar was towards her face and the other towards her shoulder. They worked great. She could even play while wearing two collars.

Best comfortable healing

The soft collar option is awesome when my dogs need to heal from an owie. Hard collars catch on or bump into everything. Because it is flexible, they are able to move around and be comfortable while the collar keeps them from licking or scratching until they are healed. Also, you can flip it back to help them eat or play. My female Chow, Kleo is always doing thing to cause a scrape here & there and the soft collar goes right on so she can't make it worse.....I think she kind of likes it! We just tell her that's "it's time to wear your Princess Collar" and she just starts wagging her tail with excitement!

Best I've found so far

By:Pat

Date:July 16, 2012

Pet:Dog

This collar is lightweight and comfortable, and the drawstring helps it stay on the dog's head even when they want to rub it off. If you get the right size it should do a good job for you. It's the only collar I've found that is comfortable enough that I don't feel bad leaving it on all day. The only issue with it is that it's possible for the dog to turn it completely inside out if s/he walks between two close objects, like maybe chair legs. So it's not 100% secure, you do have to check every now & then to make sure it hasn't been turned backwards encasing their shoulders instead of forward the way it's supposed to be.

I've tried lots of other collars, though, and I do think this is the best one out there for longer-term collar use.

Just what I was looking for!

By:samiam0917

Date:June 25, 2012

fromNorth Carolina

Pet:Dog

Breed:Large mixed breed dog

My 100-lb dog has had 3 surgeries that required him to wear a cone. We tried everything from those hard plastic ones to the "soft" and "comfy" cones but, for his size, they were all too bulky, heavy, or both and he was miserable. After much searching we found these cones and they were great! He wore it for his entire recovery period with no "complaints," and didn't seem to be bothered by it in the least. They are lightweight and easy to wipe down if they get dirty.

Given that they are so lightweight, they are not terribly sturdy thus not great for long-term (10+ day) use. I did have to buy a new one for each of my dog's 3 surgeries. At the price, however, and the fact that he will put it on without a fuss and wear it around like he's wearing nothing, it was totally worth it to me. Again, being lightweight, these cones are probably not ideal for a dog who is a chewer or who is quite determined to get at the area in question (my dog is pretty laid back and any barrier is enough to deter him). Still, they were a godsend for me and my boy and, if I ever need another cone, this is the one I will buy.

better than hard collar, but...

By:anastasia8025

Date:June 11, 2012

Pet:Cat

I was very happy with the product the first week, as my cat was able to move around comfortably and didnt seem as depressed as he was with the hard collar... but by the end of second week: collar is collapsing and is allowing him to lick his belly again. There are holes all over it from him trying to scratch his ears. I am now forced to buy another one, as this one had only lasted for a short period of time. I wish it was made out of slightly tougher material, as well offer better fitment charts, as I dont even know if I got the right size for my cat. But overall, this is a much better alternative to a hard cone.

Best collar available

Breed:Wire Fox Terrier

This collar is great for post surgery. The soft material better than hard plastic. The drawstring closure better than snaps. The versitility of wearing it as a cone or skirt for best coverage. I purchased it because it is the collar my vet uses. My dog is approximately 20 pounds and I purchased the Large. The circumference is perfect to keep him from his left rear leg where the surgery was performed.

Great to keep on hand

I have to say I really enjoyed this collard. She was able to move with ease with no fear of the collar stopping her normal activity. She was able to sleep nicely in it and if she ran to close to something the collar just folded back. Didn't seem to bother her one bit that she had to wear it!

These are GREAT!

If you have ever looked at a dog or cat with one of those horrible rigid plastic collars, you will love these. They are soft enough to be comfy, but rigid enough to be protective. They can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Two warnings: The sizes listed wherever I have seen them are the DEPTH of the collar, not the size of the pet's neck, making it a little difficult to gauge the correct size. Second, if you have an especially agressive scratcher or fighter, these won't hold up very well. For the average pet, however, they are durable, reusable, and accomplish the purpose.

Great for cats

By:dogsanderg

Pet:Multiple Pets

I've purchased 3 of these for our cat who cannot stop licking his hind end. He's on medication and a new diet but has had to wear one of these to prevent further trauma to the wound he has already caused. This collar allows him to use the cat box, get under the baby gate and function as normally as possible. The other types of collars were too clunky for him. I suggest getting more than one, however, because they are cheap and bound to get soiled.

Great alternative

By:Kim

Date:June 18, 2009

I've used these collars for 2 cats now and they are so much better than the hard cones that can hinder drinking/eating. Only criticism is that they are fabric and can show some wear when worn for several days - making them last a shorter amount of time than the sturdier plastic cones.
I'm ordering another couple of them just to have on hand.

Good, but......

By:Anne

Date:January 31, 2009

My shetland sheepdog had ACL surgery on her knee on hind leg. The vet used the collar the first night after the surgery, however, on her second and last night of boarding, she got her head around and the softness and flexability of the collar allowed her to chew out two of the staples. I have used it this first week, now that she is home, but don't feel totally able to trust it and am keeping a constant watch, including sleeping next to her in the utility room where she is for now.

It's much better than the hard plastic collar, however, as far as confort for her.

Best recovery collar i have seen

By:mimi

Date:February 1, 2008

The first time I saw this kind of collar was when I picked up one of our cat, Sammy, from the Emergency Center in Tustin, California. Sammy had to undergo a major surgery and I felt stressed already thinking they he would have to live with that hard lamp-shade plastic collar, in which he would not be able move around normally. But when i saw him came home with this soft collar, and he was able to eat, sleep, play like nothing has happened. we were so relieved and happy with this new collar. when my other cat was ready to be spayed, i asked our vet about this kind of collar, to my surprise, they does not use this kind. I had to search the internet, and i found it here. I have six cats, so i have bought a couple before. In one case, i had to have it shipped overnight for emergency purpose. Now i decided that I should buy a couple just in case. I wish that local pet stores, such as, Petco, Petsmart can carry this kind of collar. Believe me, it's totally stressed-free for both me and my babies.
