BENCMATE Inflatable Dog Recovery Collar, XLarge Soft Cone Alternative

BENCMATE XLarge inflatable dog recovery collar is a soft alternative to a traditional cone, designed to help keep dogs from licking or biting healing areas after surgery or injury.

• Inflatable donut shape — creates a soft barrier around your dog’s neck.
• Two outer-fabric options — choose plush, soft-touch fabric or colorful stretchy, anti-stick fabric.
• Open sightline — lets dogs see while eating, drinking, sleeping, and playing.
• Adjustable fastening — inner straps, a hook-and-loop closure, and your dog’s collar help secure the fit.
• Deflates for storage — reduces the space needed to put the collar away.

After surgery or an injury, a dog may need help avoiding an irritated or healing area. This recovery collar is made to provide a gentle physical barrier without the vision-blocking shape of a conventional Elizabethan collar. Measure your dog’s neck circumference before choosing the XLarge size.

How does the BENCMATE collar protect a healing area?

The inflated collar sits around the neck to help limit access to an injured area, rash, or surgical site. Its inner air bag provides neck support, while the soft outer material cushions the fit. The collar also doubles as a neck pillow, designed to help dogs settle to sleep and ease wound discomfort.

• Made for use after surgery or injury.
• Helps discourage licking and biting at the affected area.

Can my dog see and move around while wearing it?

Yes. Unlike a traditional cone that can block a dog’s vision, the BENCMATE collar is designed to leave the sightline open. Dogs can eat, drink, sleep, and play while wearing it, with the inflatable ring providing a barrier around the neck.

• Use the inner fixation straps to thread through your dog’s everyday collar.
• Position the hook-and-loop closure at the back of the neck to make it harder for your dog to bite.

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

Thread your dog’s collar through the internal straps, then adjust the hook-and-loop closure for a secure fit. If the recovery collar feels too large or slips off, looping your dog’s everyday collar together with it can help keep it in place. For cleaning, unzip the outer cover to remove it; the collar can also be deflated for compact storage.

• The plush, soft-touch fabric is offered in solid colors.
• The colorful fabric option is stretchy, anti-stick, and scratch-resistant.
• The collar also features scratch- and bite-resistant fabric.

The BENCMATE XLarge recovery collar suits dog owners looking for a soft, inflatable barrier during recovery that allows an open sightline and everyday movement. It is intended for neck-worn protection after surgery or injury, and choosing the fit starts with measuring your dog’s neck circumference.
