Supet Inflatable Dog Recovery Cone, soft, adjustable

The inflatable dog recovery cone is a donut-shaped collar made of fabric and plastic, and this size L version fits a neck measuring 11" to 14". The inner air bag holds the neck in a lightweight ring, and the outer cloth is a non-stick fabric in Donut Pink. It is worn around the neck for the behaviour situations the manufacturer lists.

Donut Pink and how the collar is built

This version of the collar comes in Donut Pink and in size L, which the manufacturer rates for necks from 11" to 14". A hook-and-loop strap at the opening tightens or loosens the fit around the neck, so the same collar can be set for a neck at either end of that range.

What the soft dog cone does on the dog

• The collar is a rounded donut rather than a flat cone, and the manufacturer states that it does not block the dog's vision the way a traditional Elizabethan collar does.
• Inside the fabric cover sits an air bag that gives the neck support while keeping the collar lightweight.
• The outer cloth has a non-stick surface.
• A fixed section on the inner part has strips that the pet's everyday collar threads through, holding the recovery collar in place.
• The hook-and-loop strap on the opening adjusts how tightly the collar sits at the neck.

Which dogs does the collar suit?

The collar fits necks between 11" and 14", so measure around the neck before choosing a size. According to the manufacturer, this item might not fit dogs whose noses, legs, tails or bodies are long. It is meant to be worn with the strap side at the back of the dog's neck, which the manufacturer says prevents biting at the strap.
