Extended-Depth Soft Recovery Cone for Cats & Small Dogs

Designed for cats and small dogs, the Nekoan Extended-Depth Soft Recovery Cone combines lightweight padding with a deeper, body-following shape to help reduce licking, biting and scratching of sensitive areas.

The soft segmented construction provides comfortable protective coverage without the hard edges of a traditional plastic cone. An adjustable drawstring neck opening helps create a secure fit, while the open-front design allows most pets to see, rest, eat and drink more naturally during recovery.

Available in Cheese Yellow and Matcha Green, with sizes S to XL.

FULL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Comfortable Protection During Everyday Recovery

Recovery collars should help protect sensitive areas without making everyday life unnecessarily difficult.

The Nekoan Extended-Depth Soft Recovery Cone is designed as a softer alternative to a traditional rigid plastic Elizabethan collar. Its lightweight padded panels form a structured, extended-depth cone around the pet’s head, helping limit access to wounds, irritated skin and healing areas.

The deeper cone profile provides wider protective coverage for smaller pets, while the flexible construction allows more comfortable resting and movement. Unlike a hard plastic cone, the softly padded edges are gentler when your pet lies down, walks around furniture or rests beside you.

A soft rib-knit neck opening sits comfortably around the neck. The integrated drawstring and cord stopper allow the opening to be adjusted for a more secure, personalized fit.

The open-front design helps preserve forward visibility and allows many pets to continue eating, drinking and playing with less restriction. For the best experience, use a wide, shallow food or water bowl and supervise your pet during the initial adjustment period.

Suitable for cats and small dogs during supervised recovery from minor skin irritation, excessive licking or veterinary procedures.

SIZE SELECTION NOTE

Measure both your pet’s neck and the required protective depth before ordering.

Pet weight is provided as a general reference only. Pets of the same weight can have different neck sizes, head shapes and body proportions.

The front edge of the cone should extend far enough beyond your pet’s nose to prevent access to the area that needs protection. If the cone is too short, your pet may still be able to reach the affected area.

If your pet falls between sizes, prioritize neck measurement and the required cone depth rather than weight alone.

Please allow a 1–3 cm difference due to manual measurement.

HOW TO MEASURE

1. Neck Girth

Measure around the part of your pet’s neck where the rib-knit opening will sit. Keep the measuring tape comfortably fitted without pulling it tight.

2. Required Cone Depth

Measure from the neck position to slightly beyond the tip of your pet’s nose.

3. Confirm Protective Coverage

Consider the location of the area that needs protection. Areas on the legs, paws or rear of the body may require greater cone depth than areas close to the head or neck.

HOW TO USE

1. Loosen the drawstring before placing the cone on your pet.
2. Gently guide your pet’s head through the rib-knit neck opening.
3. Position the cone so that the padded panels surround the head evenly.
4. Pull the drawstring gradually until the neck opening feels secure.
5. Slide the cord stopper into position.
6. Check that you can place approximately one or two fingers between the neck opening and your pet’s neck.
7. Confirm that your pet can breathe, swallow and move comfortably.
8. Make sure the cone extends far enough to prevent access to the protected area.
9. Supervise your pet closely during the first few wears.

FIT CHECK

A correctly fitted recovery cone should:

• Remain securely positioned without sliding over the pet’s head
• Allow approximately one or two fingers between the neck and collar
• Extend sufficiently beyond the nose
• Allow normal breathing and swallowing
• Avoid pressing tightly against the throat
• Permit comfortable walking and resting
• Prevent the pet from reaching the protected area

Recheck the fit regularly, particularly after sleeping, eating or active movement.

EATING AND DRINKING TIPS

Many pets can eat and drink while wearing the cone, but the experience depends on the pet, bowl design and selected cone depth.

For easier access:

• Use a wide, shallow bowl
• Raise the bowl slightly if necessary
• Keep the surrounding area clear
• Supervise your pet during meals
• Make sure the front edge does not become wet or soiled
• Confirm that your pet is eating and drinking normally

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

• Hand wash recommended
• Wash with cold or lukewarm water
• Use a mild detergent
• Do not bleach
• Do not tumble dry
• Do not iron
• Air dry naturally
• Gently reshape the padded panels while damp
• Allow the cone to dry completely before use
• Check the fabric, seams, drawstring and stopper regularly

MPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

This product is intended to provide supervised protective coverage and is not a medical device.

A soft recovery cone cannot guarantee complete prevention of licking, biting or scratching. Effectiveness depends on correct sizing, sufficient cone depth, proper adjustment and the location of the affected area.

Before use:

• Confirm that your pet cannot reach the protected area
• Check that the neck opening is not too tight
• Keep the drawstring and cord stopper positioned safely
• Inspect the product for damage or loose components
• Monitor your pet during the initial adjustment period

Remove or readjust the cone immediately if you notice breathing difficulty, impaired swallowing, vomiting, excessive distress, rubbing, swelling or restricted circulation.

For surgical recovery, open wounds, persistent skin conditions or significant injuries, consult a qualified veterinarian before use. Follow your veterinarian’s instructions regarding recovery collar type and wearing time.

Do not allow your pet to chew the cone or drawstring. Replace the product if it becomes damaged or no longer maintains its shape.

FAQ

Is this recovery cone suitable for both cats and dogs?

Yes. It is designed for cats and small dogs within the listed neck and weight ranges.

What makes this cone different from a rigid plastic cone?

It uses lightweight padded panels and a soft rib-knit neck opening. This makes it gentler against beds, furniture and the pet’s body during rest.

Does the cone completely prevent licking?

It can help reduce access to sensitive areas when correctly sized and adjusted. However, no recovery collar can guarantee complete prevention. Always confirm that your pet cannot reach the protected area.

Can it be used after surgery?

It may be suitable for supervised post-operative protection, but your veterinarian should confirm whether a soft cone provides sufficient coverage for your pet’s specific procedure.

How do I select the correct size?

Measure your pet’s neck and the distance from the neck to slightly beyond the nose. Choose a size that fits the neck securely and provides enough depth to block access to the affected area.

Should I choose based on weight?

Weight is only a reference. Neck girth and cone depth are more important because pets of the same weight can have very different body shapes.

Can my pet eat and drink while wearing it?

Many pets can eat and drink while wearing the cone. A wide, shallow or slightly raised bowl may make access easier. Supervise your pet and confirm normal food and water intake.

Can my pet sleep in the cone?

The padded construction is designed to be more comfortable for resting than rigid plastic. Follow your veterinarian’s advice and monitor your pet to ensure the cone remains correctly positioned.

Is the neck opening adjustable?

Yes. The rib-knit neck opening includes a drawstring and cord stopper for adjustment.

Can the cone be machine washed?

Hand washing is recommended to help preserve the padding, shape and adjustment components.

What should I do if my pet is between sizes?

Prioritize neck fit and required protective depth. If two sizes fit the neck, choose the depth that more effectively prevents access to the affected area.

How long should my pet wear the cone?

Wearing time depends on the reason for use and your veterinarian’s instructions. Remove or adjust the cone if it causes discomfort or interferes with breathing, swallowing, eating or drinking.
