Katoggy Inflatable Soft Dog Cone, X-Large (Neck: 18"-24"), adjustable velcro strap

This inflatable dog cone from Katoggy is a blow-up collar with a PVC inner that sits inside a soft plush outer. It replaces a traditional cone, which is why the fit is set by the neck measurement: the X-Large size is made for a neck circumference of 18 to 24 inches. The collar closes with an adjustable velcro strap.

Plush outer, PVC inner and a strap you set yourself

The collar is built in two layers: an inflatable PVC inner and a plush cloth on the outside. In use, the plush side rests against the dog's fur. A zipper runs along the collar so the PVC inner can be taken out.

• The adjustable velcro strap sets the collar around the dog's neck.
• Katoggy lists the collar as lightweight and soft.
• Katoggy names five breeds for the X-Large size: the Labrador, Rottweiler, Golden Retriever, German Shepherd Dog and Boxer.
• Because the collar sits around the neck rather than in front of the face, it does not block the pet's vision.
• Deflated, the collar can be stored in a small space when it is not in use.

Washing the plush cover and the PVC inner

The PVC inner can be wiped clean, and the plush outer is machine washable once the inner has come out. Opening the zipper separates the two layers for this.

Which neck size does the X-Large collar fit?

What neck circumference does the X-Large size take?

X-Large fits a neck circumference of 18 to 24 inches. The adjustable velcro strap closes the collar around that measurement.

How should I measure my dog for this collar?

Measure the pet's everyday collar to choose the most suitable size. That measurement is the one to compare with the size range.

Which breeds is the X-Large size recommended for?

X-Large is the size Katoggy suggests for Boxers, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Rottweilers and Labradors. The neck measurement is the deciding number.

Can my dog eat and drink while wearing it?

Katoggy states that the dog can eat, drink, lie, sit and play while wearing the collar. It is also described as not blocking the pet's vision.

How is the collar cleaned?

The PVC inner can be wiped clean, and the plush outer cloth is machine washable. The zipper opening lets you remove the inner first.

What to check before you buy

Measure the collar the dog wears every day and compare the result with the size range. A neck above 24 inches or below 18 inches falls outside this size.

The collar is listed for house-cats as the target audience, while the X-Large sizing and the breed list point to large dogs, so check both against your animal. The plush outer is machine washable only once the zipper has been opened and the PVC inner removed.
