BENCMATE Inflatable Dog Cone Collar Alternative, Soft Dog Cone for Small Medium Large Dogs and Cats, Neck Recovery ECollar Donut Collar After Surgery (Medium, Blue)

Love this shark cone so much! Not only is the cone itself extremely functional & works like a charm, but it comes in all these super cool patterns & themes! My Pittie has always had the nickname 'shark' 🦈 or 'chompers' lol so naturally when I was on the hunt for a cone to stop him from licking his feet & came across this shark one, I had to have it! All joking aside, this cone was really perfect for our needs. My Pittie has horrible environmental as well as food allergies (we've been thru all the testing & such) & his feet are suffering while we work through trying to help him. We've been managing pretty well with the Cytopoint injection every 7 weeks, while he's going through his Allergy Immunotherapy Injections, but we had a mishap with his dermatologist who gave him an extremely too low dose this last time & we have to wait a full 4 weeks before he can get his next Cytopoint, while this low dose did absolutely nothing for him. So his allergies kicked in full force while he had no medication on board & was licking his feet quite a bit. Then within the same week of purchasing the cone, due to the licking & no allergy meds on board, he got an infection in his rear toe! Long story short, he can't lick his foot at all while we're taking antibiotics, anti-inflammatories & Epsom salt soaks. And this cone has worked wonders for us! It's super easy to inflate, with your own mouth & breath or with an inflator if you have one; just simply pinch the nozzle as you blow. I inflated mine the day after I got it on Oct 15th & it's still holding the same amount of air today Nov 2nd; I have not added anymore air to it. I like how it's adjustable with the velcro strap, to get the perfect size for your dogs neck without any hassle or struggle at all. And it's super easy to put on, just open the velcro strap, slide it over his neck & reattach the velcro strap. No hooks to be found all up the side, like the cheap plastic cones, no ties to then loop through the hooks & tie around there neck, etc. None of that, this is as simple as it gets. And the velcro is very strong, my dog has worn it for around 6 hours a day M-F for 2 weeks & never once got it off or even undone. It seems pretty comfortable for my dog to wear around as well; it pretty much doubles as a pillow for laying down as well. It's definitely more convenient for us, not having that huge plastic cone bumping into your legs, into the walls, knocking things over left & right. With this one, there's almost none of that! Of course they can't squeeze through smaller spaces, but once he's worn it for a bit, he seemed to figure out his spatial awareness pretty quickly. The only thing my dog had trouble with is our tight spiral staircase; he couldn't understand that he had to lift his head higher to clear the stair, so he couldn't go up them without help. I was a little worried he would still be able to get to his feet, since there are quite a few reviews saying exactly that, but my boy is 64lbs American Pitbull & he couldn't even get to his front feet, let alone his back. The only cons to this I would say is that if you have other playful, young dogs who are into toys, they may see this as a toy & try to get it & could pop it. We have a playful GSD & she tried to grab it while on his neck not understanding he wasn't holding a toy. And with this shark one, it does have 3 little fins that hang off the sides & top of the cone, so at first my guy would swing his head side to side quickly to try to grab those little fins. He never succeeded as far as I know, but figured I'd let you all know that in case that would be a problem for your dogs. Overall this has been phenomenal for us & I would highly recommend it.

I bought the Bencmate inflatable dog cone collar alternative after my dog got neutered, and it was honestly a game changer. My dog is about 25 lbs, and the medium size fit perfectly. It was large enough to prevent him from reaching his incision area, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Compared to the traditional plastic cone, this donut was so much more comfortable for him. He was able to relax, sleep, and move around without constantly bumping into things or getting stressed out. With a regular cone, he seemed anxious and uncomfortable, but with this, he acted much more like himself. It was also easy to put on and stayed securely in place. Overall, I would definitely recommend this to anyone whose dog needs a post-surgery collar. It made the recovery process much smoother for both of us.

Too big for a 28.4lb french bulldog, but comfortable and does its job!!! Flexible, nice soft velcro, easy to clean off, easy on and off and looks cute!!!

Excellent product! I have a 74 pound American Bully with a 23" neck and a very large head. He had knee surgery so I bought this in size XXL to keep him from licking and given that he is blind I wanted to avoid a plastic cone. Not only is this inflatable cone comfortable (he often fell asleep in it), it worked perfectly! He was able to walk around normally as well, without bumping into anything. My ONLY issue is that one time he was able to get his arm inside the cone where it separates and had he not been supervised he could have gotten stuck. Definitely recommend.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’m very happy with the BENCMATE Inflatable Dog Cone Collar Alternative. It was a great alternative to the traditional hard plastic cone after my pet’s surgery. The material is soft and comfortable, and my dog was able to eat, sleep, and move around much more easily without the usual stress. It inflated quickly and stayed secure without deflating. I also like that it didn’t block my pet’s vision, which made a big difference in keeping them calm. The quality feels durable, and the fit was just right for a large dog.

Worked out great and very comfortable for our beagle. The first size was a bit big but the company was very helpful in sending us the right size. Thank you!

I have a 20 pound miniature poodle. I purchased the Medium-sized collar, which fits him well. The collar seems well made and comfortable, however, it seems to slowly leak air. It was also VERY tough to inflate by mouth, but pinching the base of the inlet to make an oval shape seemed to help. As for the slow leakage of air, no hole was found, so I assume it's around the inlet and/or the plug. It's also too small in terms of size of inflation to prevent the dog from licking and biting at his back leg, which is where he has a hot spot he worries over that I was hoping would heal. I wish I didn't have to resort to a traditional collar, but that's where I'm headed next. I know it would be tall enough to prevent him from getting at his hind-end.

This inflatable dog cone seemed like a great, more comfortable alternative to the traditional cone. The material felt soft and well-made, and it looked like it would be much easier for a dog to wear. I ended up returning it because my vet provided a similar collar after surgery, so I didn’t get a chance to fully use this one. That said, it appears to be a solid option if you’re looking for something more comfortable for your pet during recovery.

My dog needed an elizabethan collar when she was a puppy and it was an afwul experience for her so I tried to look for an alternative and isn't cone shaped. I understand that some wounds can be reached by a dog depending on its location, but my dog couldn't reach hers after her spaying. Seems way more comfortable than the cone - which was needed for her as she sleeps in her crate at night, so she needed something to move around more easily. The removable cover makes it super easy to clean. Doesn't seem to deflate much (could go multiple days without the need to reflate). Size chart was accurate. Velcro strap is very secure! Also acts a little pillow for my doggo :)

Great product! Works as described. Easy to clean and appears comfortable.

This worked great for our dog’s surgery recovery! She was able to sleep comfortably with it. Was not able to reach her scar on her leg. Kept the air quite well as well.

Ho acquistato questo collare per il mio cagnolino dopo un intervento chirurgico e sono davvero soddisfatto del prodotto. Il collare è estremamente morbido e confortevole, non impedisce la visione del mio cane e non lo limita nei movimenti. A differenza di altri collari conici, questo non dà fastidio al mio animale e non lo infastidisce durante il sonno o i pasti. La facilità di gonfiaggio e sgonfiaggio rende molto pratico l'utilizzo, permettendomi di rimuovere il collare quando non necessario. La qualità dei materiali è eccellente e il design carino e accattivante. Il mio cane sembra a suo agio con questo collare e non cerca in alcun modo di toglierlo. Nel complesso, sono davvero entusiasta di aver acquistato questo prodotto BENCMATE. Lo consiglio vivamente a tutti i proprietari di animali domestici che hanno bisogno di un collare protettivo e sicuro per il recupero post-operatorio o per situazioni simili. Un ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo!

Great Product and soft and well made , but sizing chart was off and my Biewer was able to lick his incision. Returned for alternative solution.
