    Dog Recovery Cones & Collars

    Dog recovery cones and collars are a popular and necessary item for any pet's medical treatment. These cones, usually made of plastic or fabric, are used to limit the movement of your pet's head and paws, protecting them from licking and scratching at injuries or surgical sites. Recovery collars provide an added layer of protection, preventing your pup from removing the cone and furthering their injury or surgical area.

    When using a recovery collar on your pup, it is important to select the proper type and size for your dog. There are many different types of recovery collars, from soft and plush velcro-closure collars to rigid plastic Elizabethan collars. The Elizabethan collar is often used for more severe conditions, as it more effectively restricts the pup's head and neck movements. It can be difficult to determine the right size of recovery collar for your pup, so it is recommended that you measure your pup's neck before purchase.

    Once you have the correct size of recovery collar, it is important to take the time to properly train your pup to become accustomed to wearing it. The collar can be a strange experience for pups and may cause some anxiety if not done correctly. To make the experience more comfortable, start by introducing the collar for short periods of time, rewarding positive behavior with treats and praise. As your pup gets used to the collar, increase the length of use until they no longer show signs of anxiety.

    Overall, dog recovery cones and collars are essential tools for your pup's health and safety. With proper measurement and training, these items can be used to help your pup heal properly after injury or surgery while limiting the risk of further unneccessary damage.

    Dog cones are made with the right materials and dimensions to work correctly while keeping your pet secure. We don’t recommend trying to DIY one yourself.

    Dog cones and recovery collars are used to prevent a dog from licking, scratching, or biting wounds or injuries. They protect the area from further irritation and aid in the healing process. They also help to prevent the dog from aggravating any existing conditions due to excessive licking or scratching.

    It depends on the size of your dog, as well as its age and activity level. Generally, you should choose a recovery cone that is slightly larger than your dog’s head circumference for maximum comfort and to prevent it from reaching areas it shouldn't.
