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

Really pleased with this collar.The vet issued me with an e collar for my dog which, as far as she was concerned, was an instrument of torture!! She could barely walk in it and definitely couldn't reach her food or water bowls!This collar was a game changer, and I'd go as far as to say my dog loves it and certainly looks incredibly cozy when she's snoozing with it on.The collar's well made and, because my cavapoo was between sizes, I followed the advive given and sized up to large.Fantastic product and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

This product definitely helps allow my dog to reach her food and water bowls, very effective in that aspect. However she can reach her face with her paws, so I think this cone depends on the wound site. Despite this I still use the cone for her around the house while in supervision. But I have to use the vets given cone for sleeping to make sure that she doesnt touch the wound on her face with her paws. Overall would recommend for comfort of the dog, it was easy to wash and use. For effectiveness, I think it depends on the dogs injury.

Great fit. Has built in loops so can be attached to collar if needed. Soft felt like material with inflatable inner. Outside can be removed for washing.

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.

Fabulous, so much better than a plastic cone. very comfortable for my dog to wear with no chance of her reaching her wound.

Update.Broke on the first day!! I have a 30k heeler. The strap broke meaning that it came over his head but was still fixed by the collar. He was so freaked out that he streamed their the room banging everything and nearly Woking good stitches. POOR CHEAP STITCHING. More rubbish churned out for landfill.Tips.Don't completely fill it. Press it down on the floor while you remove air so that when your foot lays down he can decompress it a bit. Much more comfy.Collar must be quite snug but make sure the latch and velcro is back of head.Try to perfectly lined up Velcro strip. If not it will stick to blankets.

Excellent item

This is a great alternative to the plastic cone but might not be the best depending on what you’re trying to prevent your dog from doing.Pros:•soft•easy to fit, take on and off•wider field of vision•easier to eat and drink•doesn’t get caught on walls and doors or small children, adult shins etc•if fitted properly prevents dog from licking nether regionsCons•wouldn’t prevent scratching head/neck area•doesn’t prevent dog from licking/chewing paws•if not tight enough or secured properly, dog can reach to lick nether regions•dog can’t lay head flat for restingWe found it best that we alternated between this and the plastic cone for different times of day. The plastic cone allowed our dog to lay flat for sleeping, this cushion can make it difficult for dogs to lay down comfortably. Quality seems okay for the price, I worry the Velcro will get worn down quickly but time will tell. Size guides and measurements were accurate, a size L fits our “large” adult golden doodle (~25kg).
