Overview

A soft, double-layer recovery cone for large and medium dogs, sized large for a 15.4 to 17.3 inch neck, with a breathable mesh interior and a waterproof PVC exterior as an alternative to a rigid plastic cone.

Made by Vithael, this collar is aimed squarely at post-surgery and post-spay recovery, along with general grooming and itch prevention. The two-layer build, soft mesh against the skin under a wipeable PVC shell, is the main selling point over a hard plastic Elizabethan collar, since it is meant to fold and flex rather than bang into doorways. The listed one month warranty is short relative to the collar's intended repeated use through a recovery period.

Who it's for

Dogs recovering from surgery, spaying or wound care who need to be kept from licking or biting a site, and owners who want a softer alternative to a hard cone, are the intended buyers. A dog whose neck falls outside the 15.4 to 17.3 inch range will need a different size.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What stands out
  • Softer than a rigid plastic Elizabethan collar
  • Breathable mesh lining for extended wear
  • Waterproof outer layer wipes clean
What to check first
  • Warranty covers only one month
  • Fits a narrow 15.4 to 17.3 inch neck range

Performance notes

The inner breathable mesh is meant to sit comfortably against fur and skin for extended wear, while the outer waterproof PVC layer wipes clean and resists the moisture a hard cone would otherwise trap. At 8.4 ounces it is lighter than most rigid cones, and it adjusts within its size range rather than fitting one fixed measurement.
