BENCMATE Inflatable Dog Recovery Collar, X-Large Blue, Post-Surgery Cone Alternative

BENCMATE Inflatable Dog Cone Collar Alternative is an extra-large, blue recovery collar designed to help keep dogs from licking or biting injured areas and surgical sites, with an inflatable neck barrier and an unobstructed field of vision.

• Inflated donut-shaped barrier — helps limit access to wounds while your dog recovers.
• Open field of vision — lets dogs see around them without a traditional cone blocking their sight.
• Inner air bag and soft outer material — provide neck support and a gentle surface to wear.
• Adjustable hook-and-loop closure and inner fixation straps — help secure the collar using your dog’s regular collar.
• Extra-large size in blue — gives shoppers a clear size and color to consider for their dog.

After surgery or an injury, dogs may need a barrier that discourages licking and biting without the restricted view of a conventional Elizabethan collar. This inflatable recovery collar is designed for that purpose and allows dogs to eat, drink, sleep, and play while wearing it. Measure your dog’s neck circumference before choosing a size.

How does the BENCMATE collar help protect a recovery site?

The inflated collar forms a cushioned barrier around the neck to help prevent a dog from reaching an injured area or surgical site with its mouth. It is intended as a gentle alternative to a traditional cone and is designed to help protect against licking, biting, injuries, and rashes during recovery.

• Made for use after surgery or when a dog has a wound.
• The collar can also serve as a neck pillow; BENCMATE says this may help dogs settle and relieve wound pain.

Can a dog see and move around while wearing it?

Yes. Unlike a conventional Elizabethan collar that can obstruct a dog’s vision, the BENCMATE inflatable collar is designed to leave the dog’s sight unobstructed. Dogs can eat, drink, sleep, and play while wearing it, with the inner air bag providing neck support.

• Designed to avoid the blocked view associated with traditional cones.
• Useful for recovery periods that include everyday activities at home.

How do you secure, clean, and store the collar?

Thread your dog’s regular collar through the fixation straps inside the recovery collar, then adjust the hook-and-loop closure for fit. Position the closure at the back of the dog’s neck to make it harder to bite. If the collar feels loose or slips off, looping the regular collar through the recovery collar may help keep it in place.

• Unzip the outer cover to remove it for cleaning; no specific washing method is provided.
• Deflate the collar for compact storage; a zipper opening is located on one side.
• Fabric options include plush, soft-touch fabric for solid colors and stretchy, anti-stick, scratch-resistant fabric for colorful options. The blue color is identified, but its fabric option is not.

This extra-large blue recovery collar is suited to dog owners seeking a vision-friendly barrier for post-surgery or wound recovery. It is intended to help restrict access to a recovery site while allowing everyday activities, and measuring neck circumference before choosing helps guide size selection.
