Bolbove Pet Plastic Clear Cone Recovery E-Collar with Dots Design Soft Edge for Small Dogs & Cats (Medium, Red)

If it had not been so tight, it would have been great! My cat has a 9.5" neck diameter and the medium was very tight. I made cuts into it all the way around to loosen it and that made it work out for us. Really nice otherwise. For the price point, it's a good deal, it would be great if the sizing was correct and it came in a larger size. I'm thankful for it, as I said, it's so much better than the hard plastic cone the Vet sends them home with!

This collar is a total lifesaver for small kittens!I've gotten alot of items I like from Amazon but this is the first time in a while I've been motivated to write a review.TlDR: this collar is comfortable and great for small kittens with tiny necks!!Backstory: My rescue sphinx is a kitten and just over 3 lbs. She came to me with an eye ulcer that ended up needing surgery.The vet office had to cut the collar they had in office down to accommodate how small she is (pictured in my second picture) Verbatim they said "this is the smallest collar we've had to make for a patient".The collar was plastic with a nylon collar that went around her neck. Since they had to modify it her ears got squished and the collar was taped shut. She was getting wet food all over it and it was getting dirty quickly.I ordered a different collar before this one. It would have fit her neck but had a massive circumference and would have been impossible for her to manage.Then this one arrived yesterday. I untaped the collar from the vet office and put it on her.LIFE CHANGER.Here are the pros:-It's soft around her neck, with no fur to buffer the edges of the collar against her skin that was extremely important to me-The snaps are SO EASY to do and undo for humans but difficult for cats. She struggled with it but could not pull it off her head or unsnap it. It didn't take long for her to get used to it-i can easily remove it while she eats her wet food so it stays much cleaner then her other collar-Its deep but also very wide. An issue I had with her other collar was it was shallow and narrow so it after like a shovel. Her range of motion was much more limited and her ears got squished down. This collar allows much more range of natural motion.I feel like her delicate eye is much more protected in this collar. She could have rubbed her delicate eye against protruding furniture but this one creates a wide, safe buffer zone to keep her eye protected-Its cute! Much less clinical looking then the one from the vet office and it doesn't look as sad with her wearing itCons-The only one I can think of is the fabric on the outer edges getting dirty.To remedy that I'm purchasing a second one so I can rotate them out to clean and sanitize themI hope this review helps other owners with kittens that are having difficulty finding a collar small enough for them!

I bought this pet cone a year ago to protect my cat's face and have used it several times since! Due to allergies or dry weather, my car developed itchy ears and sores on her face early last year. She kept scratching the itchy areas until her skin ruptured, and would keep pawing off any coconut oil or ointment I'd apply to help her skin stay moist and heal.After researching different types of cones, I decided to get this one. It has a cute design, fits comfortably around her neck, and is secure enough that she can't "slip" through it or unfasten it. It's quick to put on and take off, and she's able to comfortably sleep in it.This cone prevented her from pawing her face and ears with her front paws, and from scratching her head with her feet. After putting it on, I was able to put coconut oil/ointment on her face without her pawing it off, and her wounds were able to fully heal after 1-2 weeks.I love that the cone's easy to clean. Whenever it got dirty from the coconut oil/ointment or litter box, I'd just wash and air-dry it. It's durable enough for reuse.My only complaint (a very minor one) is that the soft padding for the neck area isn't scratch-proof. The cone still works perfectly well, but the fabric of the padding looks quite scratched-up after taking 2+ weeks of my cat's clawing abuse. Again, it's not a big deal to me, but some pet parents may care. Per my expectations, this cone delivered as promised, and I still use it from time to time when she develops seasonal allergies.
