Alfie Pet Zumi Soft-Edge Recovery Collar for Dogs & Cats

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: Clear, soft and secure cone for whenever my cats need one recovering from injuries or such. My 10 year old tends to overgroom himself (we've tried everything!) so I ordered a new one for him and he wears it off & on, tolerating it well. Nice soft gingham fabric around the neck. Easy to clean.

Deborah Allen: Didn't need to use it, but it looks like it will work well when I need it.

Sami: This cone works so well on my dog. The soft fabric part around the neck makes it very comfortable for her, but the sturdy cone texture makes it very useful in stopping my dog from being able to reach her front two paws. The velcro is very sturdy/strong so I can use it repeatedly. Easy to clean.

Mister KMister K: I'm satisfied with the product and the price. Glad I took the small one because I wanted it to be tight. She has around 8" for her neck. I know how hard she can fight when she doesn't want something. That being said, I wish the velcro could be on top instead of bottom but it seems heavier than the rest so it always slide down.

She's having a hard time adapting and feels a bit handicaped but she' getting used to it.

She left me no choice, she was biting her paws like crazy.

Baggaley: Was very pleased with the size & especially the comfort band for our dog's neck!
Unfortunately, very disappointed that the plastic cracked after a very short time when our 10 lb dog bumped into something.

Alexa: Good quality product but had to
Return it as it wasn’t deep enough and my dog was still able to reach the wound

KJMP: I was excited to get this and try it on my cat. It seemed much more comfortable for him as the cone that came from the vet was very hard plastic and heavy. But this collar just didn't fit properly. My cat is about 16 lbs and I got the Medium size. I had it on as small as it would go and it stayed on, but he could quite easily push it off with his back feet. Also, the cone length was too short and he could reach his tail injury with it on. So a bigger or smaller size wouldn't fix the problem. It's disappointing because it seems to be good quality and my cat seemed comfortable and could move around well. My cat is not in any way atypical so if you have a cat around the same weight I would not recommend this collar. Might work better for dogs.

LauraLaura: This doggie cone gets the job done, and I can't ask much else from it. It looks cute which is a plus (I included some pictures of my pup for reference!) my miniature dachshund has not been chewing, and seems comfortable enough with the shift fabric and the lightweight plastic.

I ordered a large for him, and the smallest size on it is very tight (I think he's chubby, around 16lbs) but the middle size is a bit too loose. So the sizing is tough but it gets the job done as long as you can get the general area of where it fits. Also, the reason why I uploaded pictures is because I wanted to show that sometimes the buttons do not align up correctly. There is a gap because the middle size, the buttons didn't align so it kind of looks a bit odd, but it's a tolerable flaw since it's purely cosmetic . The other is that, after a couple of days (got the item on Tuesday and it is now Friday) the cone is showing a lot of wear and tear already -- and I have a very sedentary pup. It is holding up, so once again it is a cosmetic thing.

All in all, gets the job done. I'm happy with the product, they just gotta work on those little flaws. If you don't mind some minor cosmetic details,...

Whelp, Ellie hates it. As expected. I ordered an extra small but I think it's a tad too small and she's about 8lbs. I can fit only a finger between the back of her neck and the collar so I'm ordering a small. I like the material being transparent so she can see where she's going. I also think the cloth neckline is the best for her comfort. The clasps seem to be super strong and the extra small is the right length to allow her to eat, drink, and sleep. But again, I'm worried it's tight so we are monitoring her until the small arrives. We are using the cone to keep her from rubbing her eye with her paw. The design is perfect for comfort and strong for stubborn animals.

UPDATE: See photos below, Ellie slept through the night and she's acting a little more like herself now. I can confirm she can relax and eat with the cone but her ego is still a little shot. I'm still anticipating the small coming in tomorrow to see if it'll make any difference. More updates to come tomorrow.

UPDATE: Discovered Ellie can still get to her ears with the extra small cone. She can also rub her face on things to itch her eye.
The small cone came in and I'm...

wefishallday: We are SO pleased with this collar! About 6 weeks ago, our cat just suddenly began itching, scratching and biting off all his hair on his left side, and also biting parts of his body. We first thought it might be fleas even though he's an indoor cat and we didn't see any.

FLEAS? NO - BUT So our first step was to tackle that potential problem with the Peppermint and Clove Oil we purchased off Amazon, plus daily deep vacuuming of the carpet and bedding, etc. He still was scratching, and we still couldn't find any fleas.

VET? Took him to vet. $400 later ( Vet visit, hydrocortisone shots, shot updates (due anyway), exam, fungal culture, plus this horrible STIFF PLASTIC CONE for his head so he couldn't scratch). OMG _- this poor baby so hated this cone the vet gave him and it had these horribly stiff tabs by his neck to hold the gauze to tie it on. He drooped his head, looked horrible, wouldn't hardly move, eat or drink -- it was a nightmare.) Then came another $100 to the vet for the 3 months of Revolution and a $45 shampoo from the Vet and lots of time invested in the cat while we took the hood off so he could eat, drink, try to play and keep him from scratching himself...
