Comfy, allows dogs to sleep while recovering from surgery
I have two dog. I originally purchased this inflatable doughnut 6 months ago or so to keep my chocolate lab dog from licking his foot. It did not work for this particular dog due to his temperament and the location of the area I needed to keep him from licking.Recently my other dog (black lab) as he was recovering from surgery. He had never used a cone or any similar device and was really struggling with even the soft e-cones. The inflatable doughnut worked great for him. He has a pretty chill temperament. The inflatable cone provided enough of a reminder for him to leave his stitches (one ear, side and bum) alone. If u had a very determined dog I’m not sure this inflatable donought would work. With a pretty chill dog its work good. Also is more comfortable for our dog and allows him to sleep. Bought a second one so that I could wash and alternate every few days.

Perfect buy!
This IS a GREAT product! We have it on our Great Pyrenees after her Femur surgery. The material it is made of is WAY BETTER than the hard plastic ones the vet offer. When she bumps into a wall or doorway edge, it is softer and doesn't perk her like the vet one did. It is easy to blow up, place collar in and put on her neck. VERY happy with this! The zip on shield is a little flimsy, but works. The velcro is a good add on for stability. The only time she got to licking her wound was when the opening was at the bottom of her neck

Not effective, plastic is soft and very pliable. Needs a number of improvements.
I was hoping this would be a more comfortable collar for my 8 month, 16 lb puppy who just had surgery vs the regular hard plastic collars that dogs receive from the vet's office.The donut inflated easily while pinching the valve open. The fabric on the donut is very soft and velvety.The plastic around the top edge of the donut is too flexible and pliable. It is also not high enough to block the dog, and is very easy to push out of the way. Also, there is an opening in the donut and plastic to enable fastening the cone/donut around the dog's neck. As the cone/donut rotates around the dog's neck, it allows the dog to push through the opening flap making easy access to the surgical site.As soon as we had the donut collar fastened to my dog, we knew it wouldn't work. He aggressively pushed through the plastic shield to the surgical sight and began licking. The open flap of the clear plastic was behind his head.We assembled and fastened the collar according to the included directions. Also, before we could remove the collar to fasten the old fashioned one, my dog pushed it off over his head with his hind feet. It took all of 1 second after he managed to set his hind feet on the bottom of the donut portion of the collar. The cone/collar was attached, as directed, to my dog's collar, which was a bit tighter than we normally keep it. I was concerned that it might be too tight. I feel there is too much give in the inflatable donut even when it is fully inflated. Maybe add a stiff plastic piece beneath the fabric of the donut?To sum it up, the plastic shield needs to be stiff and immovable, the opening in the collar/cone needs a fastener of some sort especially across the plastic shield, the inflatable donut needs to be redesigned to remove the platform like shape on the bottom, making it more difficult to push off of the head.I cannot recommend this product. It needs improvements.

Soft
He’s 63lb, neck measured at 17 inch’s and i ordered a large. It fits fine. The plastic is flimsy and I would not trust him alone with it since it is there so he does not scratch his eyes and I worry it would fold down if he scratched with his back foot- but while I’m home it is much better and more comfortable than the standard plastic cone.

Not As Effective As Hoped
Needed to order an item to inflate the pillow part as I simply couldn't figure out how to do it manually (it would not inflate!) and the vinyl "cone" collapsed pretty early which defeats the purpose of keeping doggie from chewing/licking wounds. Also, he's been dragging furniture around the house, knocking over tables and trash cans, all because its large enough to block his way. Would buy the old school cone of shame next time!

Great invention for dogs!!
Easy to inflate with a pump. Have been using on my golden retriever for 6 days now both with and without the shield. Because he is a big guy, he can still barely reach the incision but the collar deters him and gives me time to get to him. Love how it attaches to his collar and is soft for him to get through walk areas and sleep comfortably. He is a chewer but this is working great. Highly recommend this. Even my Vet was impressed when they watched me put it on him at the clinic.

A lot of problems!
In theory, this is better than the annoying cones, but it's been 1 problem after another. I purchased this for my 9 month old border collie/catahoula male puppy after he was neutered. Within the first 12 hours: It rotated so he was able to get his face through the opening, that's supposed to be at the back, and was able to lick himself. I added some Velcro to keep that part closed. Then, he easily got the tube off of his head so I attached a long ribbon to the back of it, ran it behind his front legs then tied it, to keep the tube from coming off his head. Then, he chewed on the plastic part(that's at mouth level) so I had to use duct tape to reinforce it. THEN, the tube deflated so my dog was able to lick his stitches, AGAIN. It has several pin sized holes around the seams. I tried to cover the holes with duct tape but it didn't work. All of this within the first 1/2 day. I had one of these that I'd used for my last dog but it didn't have the plastic guard so my dog could still reach his stitches. The inflatable part, from the old one, is much better quality than this one so I put that in this one. I feel like I had to completely rebuild and modify this so it's really not worth it. Vets send our dogs home, after a surgery, with a cone for a reason; they work. They may be annoying but at least they work and you don't have to constantly worry that your dog will get to it's stitches. I'm giving this 2 stars instead of 1 because, with my modifications, it may work. Seriously, just use the cone!
