BENCMATE Protective Inflatable Collar for Dogs and Cats - Soft Pet Dog Cone Recovery Collar Does Not Block Vision E-Collar(Medium, Blue)

Excellent quality Material in soft Does an amazing job Comfortable around the dog’s neck She sleeps with it on Very strong fastening Velcro 10/10

My dog much prefers it to the cone given by vets but it doesn’t prevent him from reaching his wound on his back leg (broken femur bone :( ) It’s good for during the day and super comfy for them but I personally would only use when you can keep watch of what they are doing.

Got my dog spayed at around 2.5 years old once she had fully grown etc. When she left the vets she has a cone on to stop her licking her wounds / scar but the translucent cone provided by the vets really freaked her out (tunnel vision i guess). We got this cone as an alternative because it didn't directly interfere with her line of sight and it was brilliant. Believe it or not she actually enjoyed getting it on! Prevented her licking her wounds and didn't affect her line of sight. It was a small learning curve for her when she realised she couldn't fit in small gaps to squeeze through doors into rooms which was funny to watch but she catches on fast!

We have a very large Alaskan Malamute who had injured his hind leg and we needed something to stop him licking or biting it. We had an old large cone but knew it wasn't very comfortable for him, the vet recommended an inflatable collar to do the job so we came across this and bought the XL grey collar. I cannot fault the product itself, it is well made, easy to put on and was clearly much more comfortable for our 10yr old Malamute, and the grey colour in particular also looks good. BUT, it simply did not stop our dog reaching his injury at all, which the cones does. Within a short time of wearing this inflatable collar we saw him turning around and having a really good bite of his poor hind leg injury, which was very disappointing. So, if your dog has an injury in its upper body around its head or neck, then this would probably work, but it does not work at all for any lower body or hind leg injury and I think the company should clearly state this. Back to the cone and yes, the cone stops him accessing it completely. Very disappointing.

Works.very well for our OES

Lovely alternative to the dreaded “cone of shame”. My dog recently had an op and I wanted to make sure he was as comfy as possible during a long recovery. This was a great buy - although I brought the wrong one by mistake, this is almost identical, cheaper and just as effective as the one I intended to buy. Pros: - lovely and soft (no scratches to furniture from the stiff plastic of normal cones etc) - seems robust/ thick material , with a fabric type cover, not just plastic. Still washable. - comfortable for sleeping - dog can see and move more freely (the old cone would restrict his field of vision and he would catch the cone on door frames etc- the donut just acted as a cushion)! - easier to fit dog into a crate than trying to allow him to turn around wearing a regular cone., - neck sizing was good. Simple but effective/ strong Velcro fastening. Hasn’t managed to pull it over his head/ take it off. Cons: - the diameter of the donut is quite small. My dog is long with long legs so he could still reach the wound on his knee if he wanted to. The donut did seem to act as a deterrent though. Would be perfect for neuter, torso or hip surgery/ injuries. - blowing it up was a bit of a struggle. You have to bite hard onto the inner/ wider part of the value to get it to open. Fine once you know. Otherwise you look a bit of a plonker at the vet not being able to inflate it! Test before you need it! - not really a con, but I liked the shark design. But it has ‘fins’ on the side. I though these might be too tempting for my other dog- and his recovery wouldn’t be helped by having her swinging from them as he hobbled by.

Great collar, we bought one for our GSD as she suffers from allergies, so we needed to keep her from biting at herself! She’s very comfortable wearing it and has stopped her biting herself

This product does exactly what is needed. Easy to inflate. Good value for money.

My dog needed an elizabethan collar when she was a puppy and it was an afwul experience for her so I tried to look for an alternative and isn't cone shaped. I understand that some wounds can be reached by a dog depending on its location, but my dog couldn't reach hers after her spaying. Seems way more comfortable than the cone - which was needed for her as she sleeps in her crate at night, so she needed something to move around more easily. The removable cover makes it super easy to clean. Doesn't seem to deflate much (could go multiple days without the need to reflate). Size chart was accurate. Velcro strap is very secure! Also acts a little pillow for my doggo :)

Buena compra, mas cómodo que el cono.

Ottimo per il mio Australian Shepherd che è decisamente insofferente a qualsiasi tipo di medicazione e al collare elisabettiano classico. Questo è comodo, non limita la visuale, non sbatte sui gradini delle scale, funge persino da cuscino durante il sonno. La ferita era sulla zampa anteriore e non ê riuscito ad arrivarci; poiché stava bello comodo non ha mai tentato di sfilarselo . Ovviamente all’interno ho messo un collarino leggero della giusta misura che servisse a tenerlo stabile. L’ho fatto gonfiare al distributore dove è alloggiato il Locker, con la giusta pressione si è mantenuto perfetto per tutte le due settimane utili alla guarigione. Cinquestelle meritatissime.

Super invention pour nos loulous

Comfortable and allows pup to eat drink and sniff the ground! Puppy so much happier and not traumatised like she's was with cone.
