E-KOMGDog Cone After Surgery Protective Inflatable Collar Blow Up Dog Collar Pet Recovery Collar for Dogs and Cats Soft

This E-Kong Cone worked very well. Our poor dog didn't love it, but he was not scared of it and endured it okay. We only used it when we couldn't keep an eye on him following a surgery. He's a big dog (about 75#) and the surgery was high on his rear inner thigh near the groin. This cone easily kept him from getting at that spot. The material outside is soft and substantial, and I believe the inner tube is sturdy (had to use a pump to inflate it). I think it's a very good product that helped us immensely. Very glad we bought it.Update April 2019: Sweet dog had a front leg shaved area for an IV site that he kept licking like crazy. Was afraid of a hot spot developing. I never really thought this pillow would keep him from him reaching a front leg, but IT DID. I am so glad. This collar has saved lots of grief at our house twice now!

I bought this for my 60lb boxer puppy. I bought the XL size with the intention of making sure he couldn't get to his sutures, he is very flexible! I had tried a practice run with a traditional plastic e-collar cone, but my dog went buckwild, so I took a chance on this kind. So far so good, my puppy tolerates this one way more than he did the cone! It's very easy to blow up and put on/take off. I definitely recommend this kind. My puppy even uses it sort of like a pillow when he's lying down and resting.

So much better than the cones that freak your pet out. My dog actually likes the e-Kong version of the cone...we call it her necklace. It works to keep her from bothering her incision, but she can sleep with it on.

Size medium worked perfectly for my 12 pound schnoodle after her surgery. She was so much more comfortable in this than she would have been in the vet's Elizabethan collar. My pup wore it day and night for 10 days comfortably.

This product, in size medium, fits well around my shih tzu's neck. It inflates easily. It's well-made. Those are the good things. Otherwise, it's utterly worthless.As far as the fit goes: it's a good thing I read reviews describing problems with this collar being too small. According to the measurements listed, my dog should wear a small. But I ordered a medium on the off-chance would also be too small for my dog. The medium barely fits around my little dog's neck.My Dog is small and short-legged. He has stitches from cancer surgery on the outside of his right front leg at the ankle. He easily reaches this wound. I've tried under-inflating the collar, over-inflating it, and filling it per the instructions. I tried tightening the Velcro closure strap. No difference. Nothing improves its effectiveness.
