Contech ProCone Soft Recovery Collar, Large


Great Recovery Collar.
I just recieved this collar and put it on my cat. He is NOT happy with it, but it's perfect for my needs.

Some information on sizing from the included insert:

SMALL is for neck measuring 8 to 12 inches

MEDIUM is 12 to 15 inches.

LARGE is 15 to 18 inches

X-LARGE is 23 inches

XX-LARGE is coming soon.

My rather large older cat is doing fine with a SMALL.

The material is both soft and strong, much like the material you see in outdoors equipment. The ribs are sturdy and keep it in place and the velcro is quality and fastens strongly. This is a high quality recovery collar, and worth every penny. I was very impressed by it, since I've tried to use the cheaper varieties with little luck.

My only complaint was uncertainty on sizing when I ordered, and I hope this review will help you with that. The makers do tell you that, if not sure, order one size up to be safe.

Smart & Comfortable Alternative Cone

Worth the investment
I have a young Jack Russell Terrier who, for whatever reason, is prone to getting hot spots on his neck every six months or so. At first we would just re-use the hard plastic cone we got from the vet when he was fixed to keep him from scratching at himself, but eventually it dawned on us that perhaps that was only exacerbating the problem rather than helping. Not only was it obviously uncomfortable for him, but it was very loud and scraped against every inch of floor and wall he walked past.

Then I discovered the ProCone, which I was somewhat skeptical about. It looked kind of flimsy and almost too flexible, which of course would defeat the purpose of the whole thing if he could still reach himself, and it was incredibly expensive. (As of this writing, the average price on Amazon is only about 1/3 of what I paid retail. I wish I did my research first!) BUT it didn't take long to realize it was worth the investment. Gone are the sharp plastic edges digging into his neck;...
