The KONG Cloud Collar is a soft, inflatable recovery collar designed to protect large dogs during post-surgery healing, wound recovery, and skin condition management.

Material and Construction
The KONG Cloud Collar is constructed from puncture-resistant vinyl with a soft blue fabric outer covering. The inflatable core creates a cushioned barrier that is lightweight yet effective at preventing access to healing areas. Reinforced seams and quality stitching maintain the collar's shape and structural integrity throughout the recovery period. The fabric covering is gentle against sensitive skin and resistant to chafing during extended wear. The drawstring closure system is designed to fit over an existing collar, keeping ID tags accessible and in place.
Size, Fit, and Usage Guidance
This Extra-Large (XL) size is designed for large dog breeds including Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, and similarly sized dogs. To ensure proper fit, measure your dog's neck circumference at the widest point and compare against the sizing guide before purchase. The collar should be snug enough to remain in place without restricting breathing or causing discomfort. Inflate to the appropriate firmness and adjust the drawstring for a secure fit. Supervision is recommended during leashed activities to prevent the collar from catching on objects.
Functional Use
The KONG Cloud Collar functions as a mobility aid and recovery support tool. The inflatable collar creates a protective barrier around the neck that prevents dogs from reaching wounds, surgical sites, or irritated skin areas on their body. Unlike rigid e-collars, the low-profile design does not block peripheral vision or create spatial disorientation, supporting a calmer, more manageable recovery experience for both the dog and the owner.
Safety, Usage, and Storage Guidance
- Inspect the collar regularly for punctures, tears, or loss of inflation during use
- If the collar loses air, check for small punctures and repair or replace as needed
- Do not leave unsupervised if the dog shows signs of distress or attempts to remove the collar
- Ensure fit is snug but not restrictive - check that two fingers can fit between the collar and the dog's neck
- Store deflated in a cool, dry location away from sharp objects when not in use
Cleaning and Maintenance
Wipe the collar with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed. Allow to air dry completely before re-inflating if deflated for cleaning. The fabric covering can be spot-cleaned without deflating the collar. Regularly inspect seams and the inflation valve for wear. Deflate for compact storage between recovery periods.
