I have an older black lab who is spoiled rotten. She is well behaved and has pretty much gotten to the point where we just let her do her thing because we can trust she isn't going to cause any troubles. Now that she is older though and so spoiled she doesn't take to change very well which became a problem recently when she somehow got a large corneal ulcer on her left eye(we think a stick poked her but that's not the point). Anyway, right after she injured it I started putting a traditional plastic cone on her. The poor spoiled thing looked at me like I was torturing her. She would just stand there holding her head down like the cone was a millstone hung around her neck, but I said "I'm sorry this is for your own good". Well I guess she decided to show me because then she started slowly walking swaying her head and slinging the cone around bumping into everything she could. Then I found her stuck in a doorway because the lip of the cone was stuck on the door frame and she was looking down the hall, so she couldn't figure out why she couldn't walk forward. I helped her through, but she kept bumping into things(I promise she was doing it on purpose the way she bumped into several things) and sometimes she would hit things so hard it would make her fall. Well she is a little fragile, so after fighting with the cone for a few hours it became clear that she was going to break something(in the house or worse one of her bones), so I took the cone off thinking it would be better to chance the eye than possibly an injury that could cost her life. After a few days though the eye started looking worse, and I started researching other options and found this. First off let me say, my spoiled lab still acts like she has a millstone hooked to her neck when wearing this but it is much safer for her. Also when walking in a wide open space she will still purposefully get as close to obstacles but instead of a cone that catches things, this one just bushes against it. It has 100% kept her from rubbing her eye on furniture or using her paws. Depending on how she lays sometimes it looks comfortable, but sometimes not so much, however regardless it seems more comfortable than the plastic cone. It is easy to inflate if you know what you are doing. For my dog(and I certainly wouldn't recommend this to anyone unless they can related) because she is so well behaved and pretty much just accepts things regardless of if she likes it or not, I am able to just slip the donut on and off without running it through the collar. This allows me to quickly and easily take it on and off when I am with her and can watch her, and I also don't have to worry about her pulling it off and I haven't seen any difference whatsoever in her wearing it whether it was through the collar or not, but it was a hassle to take on and off when I was using the collar through it. She has started to get used to it but she is still spoiled. For example when I take it off she will have both of her eyes wide open, but when I slip this on her she will look at me with the left eye squinting. She is notorious for wanting pity parties(which means getting snacks), and I know that's what the squinting eye is all about. Don't believe me? one time she was staring at me while I was eating a carrot(her favorite snack), and I said "none for you", and while she is still staring at me and been perfectly fine all day, she slowly drew her paw up as if it was hurting her. Anyway, while much better than a traditional plastic cone, some dogs still may not behave quite normally with this.

Absolutely! Here's the updated review with the pet's gender changed to male:---⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The BENCMATE Protective Inflatable Collar has been an absolute game-changer for both my dog and me! After my pup's recent surgery, I was worried about his comfort and ability to heal properly. This inflatable collar provided the perfect solution.Firstly, the soft material is incredibly gentle on his neck, and he seems so much more comfortable compared to the traditional hard plastic cones. No more bumping into furniture or struggling to eat and drink! The adjustable strap made it easy to get the perfect fit, ensuring it stayed in place without being too tight. I also appreciate how easy it is to clean—just wipe it down, and it's good as new. But what truly sets this collar apart is how it doesn't obstruct his vision or movement. He can still run around and play without any issues, which is a huge relief for both of us.Highly recommend the BENCMATE Protective Inflatable Collar to any pet owner looking for a comfortable, effective, and user-friendly recovery solution. Five stars all the way!

This is a nice inflatable collar but not tall enough for my 10 lb. pup to reach his region after neutering. He still had to wear the plastic collar of shame. This collar is very practical for other purposes. Inflates easily and very comfortable for a dog or cat.

We have a small Bolognese dog. He likes to lick himself a lot. To the point where sometimes his skin becomes raw. We have no idea why he does it. There's nothing wrong with his skin where he licks but he does it anyways. But anyways, my mom got this so he couldn't lick himself. It's big enough to stop him from licking himself, but not so big that he can't drink from his bowl. He can also comfortably lay down in his bed and rest. The only downside about this product is this: we have a lot of stairs in our house and my dog can't go up or down it with this thing on. It's not a big deal but thought I'd share my full experience of this product. Overall, it's a great product. It fulfills its purpose. 5 stars.

My 12 year old, 60 # Aussie had a 5cm growth removed from her side. She has been wearing the Bencmate inflatable collar (L) and doesn't mind it at all. She can rest, sleep, eat and drink with it on. It, of course, keeps her from reaching her stitches. She can get in and out of her crate when she chooses to rest in there. It is easy to slip on and soft but doesn't get accidentally knocked off. No uncomfortable cones here. And, it arrived the day after ordered.

Our husky has an autoimmune condition that means she sometimes will suffer from skin lesions and medication is needed. Hated using the traditional style so, after using this design on a few fosters, we tried this one. Unlike some of the other brands, she was not able to destroy it with her paws (we do not trim her nails).It actually provided some cushion so that she was able to lay on her side while sleeping and actually sleep. Once she got used to it, she didn’t mind wearing it and would not fight us to put it on.Love that you can simply deflate and wash the cover when not in use. Great product and affordable option to the plastic cone!

Super Qualität

I've used this twice , one when my dog had an operation and recently when he injured his back leg. Both occasions the collar has prevented him from licking the area and has allowed the wound to heal.Much better than the dreaded plastic cone and more comfortable for him as it doesn't catch on the floor all the time.It has a valve on the air inlet that helps to keep the collar inflated for longer. It lasts my dog for two days between air top-ups. The outer cover is washable and the velcro holds well.Thoroughly recommended.

Ma petite chienne âgée 4.9kgs cou 28cm se blesse les pattes (maladie auto imun) et je cherchais une collerette pour l'empêcher de se mordre J'en ai commandé 3 différentes et seul ce modèle en taille M lui convient C'est léger (on n'est pas obligé de gonfler à fond!) et la housse est douce et facile à laver ou à aspirer Quand l'herbe est humide , même courte, ma petite chienne s'accroupi pour faire ses besoins et la collerette est humide, alors une deuxième, c'est parfait pour remplacer Aucun soucis pour manger, dormir courir Bon achat et livraison dès le lendemain comme annoncé MERCI

My dog needs to wear a collar for 10 days, so I opted to get a more comfy collar for him. His face when I changed over to this collar, I could see he was so much happier. Easy to use and washable. Very quick delivery.

Bien pour éviter les léchouillages du corps ou des pattes.... Plus pratique que la collerette puisque l'animal voit ce qui se passe autour...N'empêche par contre pas les frottages pour les interventions concernant les yeux.
