Kinder Than the Plastic Cone

The stiff plastic cone from the vet works, but it bangs into doorframes, blocks the food bowl and stops a lot of animals sleeping. This padded fabric version does the same job of keeping your pet away from a dressing or stitches, while letting them eat, drink and curl up normally.

Key Features

• Soft padded fabric with a breathable mesh panel
• Does not block peripheral vision the way a rigid cone does
• Adjustable hook-and-loop neck strap
• Threads onto an existing collar so it cannot be pushed off
• Light enough for cats and small dogs
• Wipe clean or hand wash

Specifications

• Material: polyester outer, sponge padding, mesh lining
• Sizes (neck circumference): M approx. 23–30 cm, L approx. 30–38 cm, XL approx. 38–46 cm
• Colour: blue and green
• Fastening: adjustable hook-and-loop strap

Choosing a Size

• Measure your pet’s neck and pick the size where that measurement sits mid-range.
• The collar should be snug enough that your pet cannot back out of it, with room for two fingers underneath.

In the Box

• 1 × soft recovery collar in your chosen size

Please Note

• This is a comfort accessory, not a medical device, and nothing here is veterinary advice. Always follow your vet’s instructions about what your pet should wear after a procedure and for how long.
• A soft collar does not restrict movement as firmly as a rigid cone. It may not be enough for a determined animal or for a wound on a paw or tail — ask your vet which is appropriate.
• Check under the collar daily for rubbing, and supervise your pet while they get used to it.
• Remove it if your pet cannot eat, drink or breathe comfortably, and contact your vet.
• Measurements are approximate and colours may vary slightly from the photos.
