Comfy Cone for cats

Finally, a solution for the age-old problem of how to let your pet heal in comfort. Until now the only cone shape e-collar has been made out of hard plastic, offering no comfort for your pet. Now, there’s the Comfy Cone from All Four Paws. The Comfy Cone is soft and comfortable, making it easy for your pet to get much-needed rest; it’s easy for your pet to eat and drink while wearing it; it folds back for even more freedom; and folds flat for storage.

Some of Comfy Cone’s Benefits:

• Comfy Cone is made of patented nylon fabric laminated onto a ½” foam, which is soft and yielding while being very sturdy and protective.
• Comfy Cone has elastic loops to thread the pet’s own collar through to keep the Comfy Cone in place, not allowing it to fall or be pulled off.
• Comfy Cone lets your pet eat and drink in comfort, and allows you the option of folding the collar back while your pet is eating and drinking.
• Comfy Cone uses Velcro™ closures and tabs that adjust to many sizes. The collar opens fully so that you do not have to put your pet’s head directly through the collar.
• Comfy Cone is reversible in case one side gets too dirty. It is water resistant and repellant and is easy to wipe clean and dry.
• Comfy Cone folds flat for easy storage.
• Comfy Cone has unique reflective binding to help protect you and your pet when you are outside at night.
• Comfy Cone is more eco-friendly than the plastic e-collar.

Buying the Correct Size Comfy Cone:

Buying the correct size e-collar is extremely important in order to give your pet the best protection to heal. The Comfy Cone is sized in inches around the neck as well as from neck to snout. The best way to make sure that your pet cannot pull the collar off is to thread their regular buckle collar or a strip of gauze through the elastic loops on the neck end of the Comfy Cone. This also helps if you need a larger size because of the neck to snout measurement, but the neck is too loose.

The most important measurement in selecting the correct size is neck to snout. The collar needs to come past the nose or dogs and cats can reach many parts of their bodies. Another interesting reason for the collar to go past the nose is that it acts like blinders. According to numerous vets, the concept that dogs and cats need to use their peripheral vision is false. The clear plastic e-collars can frustrate your pet even more since they think they can see something, but the more they try to see what it is the more anxious they become. With the Comfy Cone, your pet feels like he or she is in their own little space, which helps them to relax and rest so they can heal faster.

It is extremely important to supervise your pet when using the Comfy Cone (or any e-collar) for the first time. You need to see how your pet reacts to an e-collar—and more importantly, that you have selected the correct size. Picking the correct size for your pet is crucial for the Comfy Cone to work. The Comfy Cone must go past your pet’s nose, or they will be able to reach the area that needs protection. As a responsible pet owner, never leave the Comfy Cone folded back if you are not there to supervise. Keep in mind all pets react differently to e-collars, so please keep an eye on your pet as much as you can.
