KVP EZ Soft Cloth Pet Recovery Collar XS

Overview

An XS soft cloth recovery collar from KVP, fitting a 3.5 to 10 inch neck with a 4 inch depth, meant to keep a cat or small dog from licking or biting at a wound or surgical site. Adjustable with a hook and loop closure.

Being cloth rather than the rigid plastic cone most owners picture, this style trades some restriction for comfort, letting a pet eat, drink and move around more freely while still limiting access to a wound. The hook and loop closure makes it adjustable within its size range rather than fixed, and the listing calls out cats and small dogs at this XS size. Nylon construction, not water resistant.

• XS: fits 3.5 to 10 inch neck
• 4 inch depth
• Nylon, hook and loop closure
• For cats and small dogs

Who it's for

Fits owners of cats or small dogs recovering from surgery who want a softer alternative to a plastic cone, particularly for a pet that eats or drinks poorly in a rigid collar. Not suited to a pet that needs to be kept from reaching a rear leg or flank, since a shorter soft collar offers less depth than a cone.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The hook and loop closure lets the collar adjust within its 3.5 to 10 inch neck range rather than being cut to one fixed size, and the 4 inch depth limits reach to the head and neck area without the rigidity of a plastic cone.
