MIDOG Inflatable Dog Recovery Collar, Blue Medium+ Soft Donut Design

MIDOG Inflatable Dog Cone is a blue Medium+ recovery collar designed to protect healing areas from licking while giving dogs an unobstructed view.

• Inflatable donut shape — creates a barrier around stitches, hotspots, and wounds.
• Full range of vision — lets dogs navigate, eat, drink, and sleep while wearing the collar.
• Seven neck sizes from 6–9 in (15.2–22.9 cm) to 21–24 in (53.3–61 cm) — provides options for different neck measurements.
• Inner loops and an adjustable strap — help secure the collar using your dog’s own collar.
• Removable nylon cover — can be machine-washed for routine care.

After surgery or when a dog has a hotspot or wound, licking and chewing can interfere with the healing area. This inflatable recovery collar is made to create a protective barrier without the full-vision restriction of a traditional plastic cone. Its soft donut form is intended to make everyday movement and rest more comfortable during recovery.

How does the MIDOG collar protect healing areas?

The inflated donut limits neck rotation to help prevent a dog from reaching stitches, hotspots, or wounds to bite or lick them. It acts as a protective shield while still allowing comfortable movement around the home. The soft design is an alternative to a plastic cone and is intended to reduce the anxiety associated with wearing one.

• Designed for post-surgery healing and protection of wounds or hotspots.
• Restricts turning far enough to reach the protected area while allowing movement.

Can a dog see, eat, and rest while wearing it?

Yes. The donut shape preserves a full range of vision, so dogs can navigate their home, eat, drink, and sleep while wearing the collar. It is designed for use during normal recovery activities, rather than blocking the dog’s view like a conventional cone.

• Blue Medium+ version of the inflatable recovery collar.
• Soft exterior is described as scratch-proof and gentle on walls and furniture.

How should I choose the fit and keep the collar in place?

Measure your dog’s neck before choosing a size; the seven-size range runs from 6–9 in (15.2–22.9 cm) through 21–24 in (53.3–61 cm). The Medium+ name identifies this version, but its specific neck measurement is not provided here, so use your dog’s measurement when selecting the fit.

For a more secure hold, thread your dog’s own collar through the inflatable collar’s inner loops, then adjust the strap. This helps keep the recovery collar in position while your dog moves.

• Fit depends on neck measurement, so measure before selecting a size.
• The dog’s own collar is threaded through the inner loops to help prevent slipping.

How do you inflate and clean the recovery collar?

Pinch the valve while blowing into it, or use a small air pump, to inflate the collar. To release air, pinch the valve and press gently. Check the air level daily during recovery so the barrier stays inflated as intended.

Wipe the exterior clean or remove the nylon cover for machine washing in cold water, then air-dry it. Supervise dogs that chew or are highly active: a determined dog may puncture the inflatable bladder, and this collar is not intended for destructive chewers.

• Daily air-level checks are part of its use during recovery.
• Machine-wash the cover in cold water and air-dry it.

MIDOG’s inflatable collar suits dogs recovering from surgery or dealing with a hotspot or wound when a protective barrier and a clear view are both useful. It is best suited to dogs that will not destructively chew the inflatable bladder, and its seven neck-size options support measurement-based selection.
