Best Collar ever
August 29, 2017
This works better than any other collar we have tried.

The worst
July 5, 2016
This appears to be paper. The wind blows and it folds back. My dog walks down stairs, and the slight air movement makes the collar fall out of place. Not surprisingly, one gust of wind made the entire seam split open. It's currently taped shut. I will never buy again.

Great Collar
June 13, 2016
Needed a collar for our big boy who was scratching at his eyes. The eye drops needed time to work, did not want a hard collar as I had used them in the past for other dogs and did not like them. This collar gently fits around the neck and you can adjust just where you place it, it has a tie than holds the collar in place. He could not scratch his eyes and took to wearing the collar like a piece of "art work". This collar works great and it is a much more comfortable fit for the dog as he could got anywhere without fear of banging it against doorways or furniture. Great collar.!

Comfortable!

I used this for my 8 month old goldendoodle after he was neutered. He was able to eat, drink, play and sleep with the cone on. The cone never really got in his way because when it got caught on a wall corner or doorway, the cone folded back and popped back into place. If your dog has a long snout, I recommend using this cone with a suitical (onesie for dogs).

Most Comfortable Recovery Collar We've Found
December 22, 2015
Our 14 year old,19 lb cat has an itchy spot on his stomach that he just won't stop licking. He licks it until the area is raw. We've had him in various recovery collars but most have been too rigid and heavy except fot the ElizaSoft Recovery Collar. The small size fits well and it is easy for him to sleep with it on. The only drawback to the product is that he can sometimes bend it enough to reach the itchy spot if he contorts his body by sitting on his back and bending forward. We keep a spare one to use when the other one gets too worn.

Review for ElizaSoft Recovery Collar
June 12, 2015
Collar was too small for my pet's neck. The dog is only 20 lbs. So I am trying to make the neck larger. It may be fine after I customize it. Right now it is useless and my dog is still chewing her paws.

These collars are the best. Dogs are much more comfortable & seem to be more comfortable as opposed to the hard collars

Comforting

Our french Bulldog was diagnosed with allergy problems and was licking her paws frequently. We used this collar because it was flexible and not rigid. It didn't seem to bother her too much and it helped control the licking problem. I would strongly recommend it.

Pleasantly Surprised
April 1, 2015
Decided to spend the money after being hit in the back of the knees several times. I ordered a large based on the measurements suggested. This slides on over her snout and ties. It fits perfectly. Extends out plenty far. She doesn't try to get it off at all. I don't think I would recommend for an aggressive dog, as this is very pliable. Doesn't hurt at all if it hits you. I would recommend!

We use these to prevent our dog from chewing or licking. While he's normally good about being told no, sometimes he needs a reminder. These collars are perfectly sized and prevent all but the most persistent dogs from licking or chewing.

Soft yet strong

Purchased my third one. Cat is allergic to fish; she steals food with fish. Allergy causes her to remove fur. This is soft enough to enable her to move around yet prevent fur removal.

Item has draw strings to close it. I am very disappointed in it. It is soft, but hard to close it on the cat. Sorry I got it. It should have velcro to close. Judy

ElizaSoft Collar
June 5, 2014
This soft collar was perfect for my doxie that had back/neck surgery last year, and had to be neutered this year. He is also blind, so I couldn't use a hard e-collar, as I didn't want him running into things and jamming his back or neck! He slept well in it, and he seemed very comfortable. For the price, I would recommend this.

Disappointed
May 4, 2014
The biggest issue with this collar is not being able to adjust the neck size. We measured our cat Riley's head and neck and based on those measurements we ordered the extra small collar. It fit fine but the depth of the collar was insufficient to keep him from bending the outer rim down in order to scratch his healing ear with his back foot. We then ordered the next size up since it is a deeper collar, but the absence of any way to snug it up on his neck made it useless. It was so loose on his neck that it just hung loosely. The collar would be a worthy purchase if the design could be modified to allow snugging it around the pet's neck.

Works better than plastic e-collar
March 27, 2014
This e-collar which was used on my cat had a longer length and could be used in a downward position so that he could move around better. It worked well to protect the area healing as he seemed driven to lick at it.

Eliza Soft Recovery Collar
February 26, 2014
I have a small Shih Tzu and she suffers with seizures so she scratches her face all the time due to the seizure. The Eliza Collar has really made a big difference in her face as she can't get to it with her nails. She can sleep with it, eat and drink with it on and has no problems. You can fold it back if you need to make her more comfortable or leave it pulled forward around her face. I highly recommend this collar for a small animal as they can get around every where with no problems of bumping into every thing and it protects the animal at the same time. They are made of like a tarp material with a white binding around the edges and mine have lasted me a long long time and she doesn't mind wearing it at all.

WORKED FOR OUR SITUATION
February 23, 2014
I BOUGHT THIS COLLAR(ACTUALLY BOUGHT TWO) WHEN MY CAT HAD ABDOMINAL SURGERY. I WAS NOT SURE WHICH SIZE WOULD FIT,SO I GOT THE SMALLEST AND THE NEXT SIZE UP. THE SMALLEST WOULD BE MORE A KITTEN SIZE,BUT THE NEXT SIZE FIT HER WELL.WE WORE IT FLIPPED BACK SINCE HER INCISION WAS BEHIND HER FRONT LEG.IT WORKED PERFECTLY AND WAS COMFORTABLE FOR HER.IF YOU CINCH UP THEN TIE A BOW THEN A KNOT,IT STAYS WELL.

ElizaSoft Recovery Collar

Most e-collars are made of hard plastic and if the pet runs into something the collar is jammed into the neck which I imagine is not comfortable. The soft e-collar is terrific. You can even fold it back to allow for eating.
By Wildflower
Do not recommend!
January 7, 2014
Have been very pleased with the service of Entirely Pets! However the E-soft recovery collar is too flexible for intended purpose and has the potential of creasing with extended use. Wish it would work as I have many areas to repair after using the hard model. Would like to return the item.

our neighbor purchased this product first and let us borrow hers. we have an extra large dog that is not able to walk down the hall or fit in a doorway with the plastic cones. this has been the best purchase we ever made to save the house and the dogs sanity.
By Alex
Excellent!!
August 1, 2013
This works perfectly for my dog! I just slip it on him and no more licking. It is so easy to use and is soft, so it bends when he drinks or ears or runs into things. I feel it is less worry if I have to leave him with it on. It would actually come off vs. get stuck on something. If you have a persistent dog working to get this off it may not work for you. Worth a try! Great product!

much more comfortable
June 26, 2013
i should have gotten 2. soon after i ordered this, another cat tore her nail & was sentenced to a cone till it heals. that cat is much more unhappy than the cat that is wearing this one. this one can fold back to allow more comfortable eating & drinking. it presses down so she can sleep & get around more comfortably. her scratch is just about healed so i'm planning to transfer this "halo" soon to the other one so she can heal more comfortably too. this one has been very effective at keeping her from scratching open the scratch she had on her neck. before i had this it wasn't getting a chance to heal because she kept rubbing it. this has kept her little paws away from it & it's just about healed over.

This product does the trick of a hard cone. But, my dog isn't always trying to get it off. Much easier on her.

Worked very well for neck wounds
April 16, 2013
We found a severely injured kitten and needed a soft e-collar since she had neck wounds. The collar never irritated her neck and also kept her from scratching as it healed. At times we used two of these collars to completely cover her neck and shoulder area. One collar was towards her face and the other towards her shoulder. They worked great. She could even play while wearing two collars.

Best comfortable healing
December 10, 2012
The soft collar option is awesome when my dogs need to heal from an owie. Hard collars catch on or bump into everything. Because it is flexible, they are able to move around and be comfortable while the collar keeps them from licking or scratching until they are healed. Also, you can flip it back to help them eat or play. My female Chow, Kleo is always doing thing to cause a scrape here & there and the soft collar goes right on so she can't make it worse.....I think she kind of likes it! We just tell her that's "it's time to wear your Princess Collar" and she just starts wagging her tail with excitement!

Best I've found so far
July 16, 2012
This collar is lightweight and comfortable, and the drawstring helps it stay on the dog's head even when they want to rub it off. If you get the right size it should do a good job for you. It's the only collar I've found that is comfortable enough that I don't feel bad leaving it on all day. The only issue with it is that it's possible for the dog to turn it completely inside out if s/he walks between two close objects, like maybe chair legs. So it's not 100% secure, you do have to check every now & then to make sure it hasn't been turned backwards encasing their shoulders instead of forward the way it's supposed to be. I've tried lots of other collars, though, and I do think this is the best one out there for longer-term collar use.

Just what I was looking for!
June 25, 2012
My 100-lb dog has had 3 surgeries that required him to wear a cone. We tried everything from those hard plastic ones to the "soft" and "comfy" cones but, for his size, they were all too bulky, heavy, or both and he was miserable. After much searching we found these cones and they were great! He wore it for his entire recovery period with no "complaints," and didn't seem to be bothered by it in the least. They are lightweight and easy to wipe down if they get dirty. Given that they are so lightweight, they are not terribly sturdy thus not great for long-term (10+ day) use. I did have to buy a new one for each of my dog's 3 surgeries. At the price, however, and the fact that he will put it on without a fuss and wear it around like he's wearing nothing, it was totally worth it to me. Again, being lightweight, these cones are probably not ideal for a dog who is a chewer or who is quite determined to get at the area in question (my dog is pretty laid back and any barrier is enough to deter him). Still, they were a godsend for me and my boy and, if I ever need another cone, this is the one I will buy.

better than hard collar, but...
June 11, 2012
I was very happy with the product the first week, as my cat was able to move around comfortably and didnt seem as depressed as he was with the hard collar... but by the end of second week: collar is collapsing and is allowing him to lick his belly again. There are holes all over it from him trying to scratch his ears. I am now forced to buy another one, as this one had only lasted for a short period of time. I wish it was made out of slightly tougher material, as well offer better fitment charts, as I dont even know if I got the right size for my cat. But overall, this is a much better alternative to a hard cone.

Best collar available
April 29, 2012
This collar is great for post surgery. The soft material better than hard plastic. The drawstring closure better than snaps. The versitility of wearing it as a cone or skirt for best coverage. I purchased it because it is the collar my vet uses. My dog is approximately 20 pounds and I purchased the Large. The circumference is perfect to keep him from his left rear leg where the surgery was performed.

Great to keep on hand
March 26, 2012
I have to say I really enjoyed this collard. She was able to move with ease with no fear of the collar stopping her normal activity. She was able to sleep nicely in it and if she ran to close to something the collar just folded back. Didn't seem to bother her one bit that she had to wear it!

These are GREAT!
November 22, 2011
If you have ever looked at a dog or cat with one of those horrible rigid plastic collars, you will love these. They are soft enough to be comfy, but rigid enough to be protective. They can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Two warnings: The sizes listed wherever I have seen them are the DEPTH of the collar, not the size of the pet's neck, making it a little difficult to gauge the correct size. Second, if you have an especially agressive scratcher or fighter, these won't hold up very well. For the average pet, however, they are durable, reusable, and accomplish the purpose.

October 26, 2011
Was exactly what I was looking for ~ didn't order from Amazon because they couldn't get it here in time so I ordered it from Entirely Pets with a larger fee for shipping for 2 - 3 day delivery WHICH I DIDN'T RECEIVE for 5 days at which time I didn't need it anymore ! obvious they couldn't deliver it in the time they said either but they took my money ! ?

Great for cats
October 6, 2011
I've purchased 3 of these for our cat who cannot stop licking his hind end. He's on medication and a new diet but has had to wear one of these to prevent further trauma to the wound he has already caused. This collar allows him to use the cat box, get under the baby gate and function as normally as possible. The other types of collars were too clunky for him. I suggest getting more than one, however, because they are cheap and bound to get soiled.
By Kim
Great alternative
June 18, 2009
I've used these collars for 2 cats now and they are so much better than the hard cones that can hinder drinking/eating. Only criticism is that they are fabric and can show some wear when worn for several days - making them last a shorter amount of time than the sturdier plastic cones. I'm ordering another couple of them just to have on hand.

Good, but......
January 31, 2009
My shetland sheepdog had ACL surgery on her knee on hind leg. The vet used the collar the first night after the surgery, however, on her second and last night of boarding, she got her head around and the softness and flexability of the collar allowed her to chew out two of the staples. I have used it this first week, now that she is home, but don't feel totally able to trust it and am keeping a constant watch, including sleeping next to her in the utility room where she is for now. It's much better than the hard plastic collar, however, as far as confort for her.

Best recovery collar i have seen
February 1, 2008
The first time I saw this kind of collar was when I picked up one of our cat, Sammy, from the Emergency Center in Tustin, California. Sammy had to undergo a major surgery and I felt stressed already thinking they he would have to live with that hard lamp-shade plastic collar, in which he would not be able move around normally. But when i saw him came home with this soft collar, and he was able to eat, sleep, play like nothing has happened. we were so relieved and happy with this new collar. when my other cat was ready to be spayed, i asked our vet about this kind of collar, to my surprise, they does not use this kind. I had to search the internet, and i found it here. I have six cats, so i have bought a couple before. In one case, i had to have it shipped overnight for emergency purpose. Now i decided that I should buy a couple just in case. I wish that local pet stores, such as, Petco, Petsmart can carry this kind of collar. Believe me, it's totally stressed-free for both me and my babies.
