I had one for about 6 years and these were the BEST. I have lent it out and hand washed and it lasted incredibly long. The Velcro was tired to unfortunately I threw it away and ordered a new one. NO NO NO!!!!! The clear plastic is now 100% different. Its way to ridged and non flex. within two days it was wall to wall splits and tears and VERY sharp at all shattered edges. What a shame they destroyed such a great product trying to save a buck. This is now hazardous to your dog and they should NOT be left unattended in this

I’ve repurchased this cone several times over the years because it’s the most comfortable one I’ve found for big dogs. Both of my pitbulls use the XL. I just adopted a 70lb pitbull and she absolutely hated the rigid cone the shelter vet sent her home in. It terrified her, and she kept bumping into things creating uncomfortable pressure around her neck. This style eliminates that issue. She can see through the clear panels and really doesn’t mind wearing it at all. My dogs have never liked the inflatable doughnut style; it messes with their breathing when they lay down. My other 85lb pitbull reacts the same way; hates traditional cones and donut collars but tolerates this one. It’s really difficult to clean well, though. I end up using a portable carpet cleaner device on it because cloth and soap don’t seem to do much. It does get bent out of shape and ruined eventually, it’s not a “forever” cone, but for the level of comfort it gives them as opposed to the alternatives, I feel it’s worth it.

This is a really nice cone because it is flexible and the dog can lay their head down. I used this for my Australian Shepherd and pictured here we are using it for my son's American Staffordshire Terrier. Because her head is so big, we didn't even attach it to her collar. We just wrapped it around her head. I like it because it has clear view sections so the dog can see on the sides.Because his dog has sensitive skin, her jowls reacted to the texture of the fabric and the seams. We deal with this by taking duct tape and taping a wash cloth to the area and not only did it help her skin, but we then took it off to wash it.The only issue I had was with the delivery service which was through Pet Food Express. Pet Food Express charged me a ten cent fee for the bag that the item came in. Also: WARNING: the driver automatically added a $5.00 tip on the free delivery! When I complained to Amazon they were unable to take the tip off, but they graciously gave me a $5 credit on my account. I will NOT be buying anything through Pet Food Express in the future because of this.

Moins invasif que les collerette rigides. Très solide, ajustable et efficace. Supporte la fougue et la force d'un malinois

Mon chien devait porter une collerette suite à une opération de l'oreille, et c'était l'enfer, il se faisait mal au cou à force que la collerette se coince dans tout et lui tire la tête sur le côté.Problème réglé avec cette collerette souple ! Non seulement ça, mais il a pu renifler à nouveau le sol en balade, et recevoir plus de câlins ! Je recommande vivement ce produit.

Mi perro lo ha roto, pierde consistencia cuando lo golpea, es muy caro para lo q dura, si el perro esta quieto igual funciona, pero en mi caso no

I got this last minute as my diabetic blind dog was having cataract surgery which was successful. The Zen cone was awesome and more comfortable than plastic worth every cent.

We LOVE this product and ordered an extra ZenPet ProCone collar for our second dog just in case she needs surgery some day too. We tell our family, friends, strangers, and our Veterinarian (and the Emergency Vet Hospital), about this MUCH more comfortable, high quality, recovery cone for dogs. We tried all of the other common dog cones and our older dog hated them and froze in fear when we put them on her - she even frantically rubbed herself against wood furniture at night trying to get a donut style cone off of her. The 'lamp shade' cones that many Veterinarian's and Animal Emergency Hospitals use were the worst experience for our dog. We happened to find a ZenCone at a nearby Petco and our dog settled right down, she would walk and sleep comfortably in it and still see where she was through some of the clear plastic sections to the side of her. This soft cone is easy to put on using an already purchased regular soft fabric dog collar and allows your dog to sleep comfortably as the cone folds gently and the fabric is comfortable to lay on. It's also easy to keep clean and prevents dogs from licking wounds or surgical stitches while healing. This cone is worth every penny you'll pay. I wish I could give it 10 stars instead of the highest of 5 stars here.

says it has clear windows so dog can see but the one i recieved is all material no windows at all

I don't write a ton of reviews, but as a dog lover, felt the need to set some fellow pup owners at ease. I don't have much experience with "cones of shame", but this one so far has been great. Like anyone reading this, I felt horrible about throwing one of these on my dog, but Ive been reassured now.The first time you put it on you feel horrible, and they look so confused. I know all dogs react differently, but I doubt any of them got super happy about the situation. Just tell yourself like I did, this is on for a reason, and you wont heal without it. I leave my 100# dog home during the day at work with plenty of time to try an get at his paw, which I seriously thought he would even with this cone, but it didn't happen. After the 3rd day or so, you see a noticeable change in how they cope with the cone. They "smile" at you when you get home like usual and really seem ok with the situation.This brings me to the actual product review. This soft aspect of the cone end up being the key I think. Your dog isn't used to having their path interrupted by accessories and like mine, will probably be very confused. After a couple days though, you can see them navigating as if it weren't on. They will hit a door jam, and they will continue on by like normal, rather than stop and spin around all confused at what is going on.The construction seems pretty good, and materials sturdy. The one exception being the straps that the collar threads through. Those appear to be fairly flimsy, however other than looks, there is no evidence that is the case. My dog hasn't tried to rip it off, breaking the straps, nor has he damaged it in any way. He is also one of those dogs that can kill any type of heavy duty chew tow in a half an hour.The only other drawback would be the placement of the velcro. The craftsmanship if great, but the strips are thin and radiate out, so depending on your dogs neck size, it may take some trial and error in fitting. You definitely want to have as much velcro in contact to keep the cone shape.Definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a cone. I realize all dogs are not the same, but trust me, if you leave the collar on and otherwise act as if nothing is different, they will adjust and you wont feel so bad! You will see the benefit of it being a soft cone after a couple days too, as your dog will know when he can just keep on going as normal as they learn that the cone will flex and give.I would recommend if possible to have someone home with them during the first couple days to do some adjustments as needed. If you see them almost compromising the cone, you can learn and make little adjustments until their efforts at removing it are all defeated. As we all know, once they are successful in defeating it once, nothing will stop them. This is a good product and if used correctly will serve you and your pup well.Hope this helps!
