Leg Cut Prevention aka The Comfy Cone
19 August, 2008 | Posted by Marvyn
If any of you have had your pet in a plastic cone for an extended period of time, then you’re well aware of how incredibly sharp the edges become after a few walks outside. A couple of brush ups on your leg will leave your shouting at your beloved pet. No more of that — I introduce to you the Comfy Cone from All Four Paws.
The cone seals via 3 velcro strips, which is much easier than the tab design of the plastic cones. It also has loops to secure the cone around your pet’s neck with his/her collar. Although I don’t really use it as you can comfortably wrap the cone around without worry of it coming off.
The front end of the cone is soft and has a reflective trim for those night walks. The trim wears easily especially when constantly rubbed against concrete/asphalt. But that’s a minor issue.
Because of the soft material, it tends to smell after a while if your pet salivates a lot. I try to clean it everyday, but for you lazy people…sorry.
Pros
- Offered in various sizes from 12.5 CM to 30 CM. As reference, my cocker spaniel wears a 20 CM cone.
- Reasonably affordable from $12-$25.
- No annoying plastic cone hitting your leg.
- Can flap top cone back to allow your pet to eat/drink.
Cons
- Reflective lining wears easily.
- Will smell if not cleaned regularly.
- Sound of velcro tearing apart may frighten some dogs.
