KONG EZ Soft Recovery Collar for Dogs and Cats - Comfortable Cone Alternative Small

Soft Fabric Recovery Collar for Comfortable Post-Surgery Healing

The KONG EZ Soft Recovery Collar provides a gentle, stress-free alternative to traditional hard plastic cones for dogs and cats recovering from surgery, injuries, or skin conditions. Made with soft, pliant fabric and featuring a comfortable Lycra neckline, this innovative collar protects wounds and surgical sites while allowing your pet to move, eat, drink, and rest comfortably throughout the healing process.

Unlike rigid cone collars that restrict vision and cause anxiety, the KONG EZ Soft Collar's flexible design reduces stress while effectively preventing licking, scratching, and biting of affected areas. The Flexstay technology maintains the collar's protective shape without the discomfort of hard edges, while the cinch-tight toggle allows for customized sizing that grows with swelling or adjusts as healing progresses. Machine-washable and durable, this collar makes recovery easier for both pets and their owners.

Size & Material Information

Dimensions: The small size measures 12 x 12 x 5 inches, providing adequate protection depth while maintaining comfort. The collar extends far enough to prevent pets from reaching wounds while allowing normal activities.

Materials: Constructed from soft, pliant fabric that is gentle against skin and fur. The Lycra neckline provides stretch and comfort, while the Flexstay technology ensures the collar maintains its protective shape without rigid materials.

Weight: Ultra-lightweight at only 2.1 ounces, this collar won't burden your pet or cause neck strain during extended wear.

Size Selection: Available in Extra Small and Small sizes. Measure your pet's neck circumference and the distance from neck to nose tip to select the appropriate size. The adjustable toggle accommodates size variations within each category.

Directions for Use

Place the KONG EZ Soft Collar around your pet's neck with the wide end facing outward. Thread your pet's regular collar through the loops on the inside of the EZ Soft Collar to secure it in place. Adjust the cinch-tight toggle to achieve a snug but comfortable fit - you should be able to fit two fingers between the collar and your pet's neck. Ensure the collar extends past your pet's nose to prevent reaching wounds. Supervise your pet initially to help them adjust to wearing the collar.

Care & Maintenance

Machine wash on gentle cycle with mild detergent. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. The durable fabric construction withstands repeated washing throughout the recovery period. Inspect regularly for tears, loose stitching, or damage to the toggle closure. Replace if the collar becomes damaged or no longer provides adequate protection. Store clean and dry when not in use.

Pet Compatibility

Suitable for both dogs and cats. The small size is ideal for small dogs (10-25 lbs) such as Chihuahuas, Yorkshire Terriers, Pomeranians, and Shih Tzus, as well as most adult cats. Extra Small size is also available for toy breeds and kittens. Consult your veterinarian if you're unsure about sizing or if your pet has a unique body shape requiring special consideration.
