KOOLTAIL Inflatable Dog Recovery Collar, Size L, Adjustable Donut Design

KOOLTAIL Inflatable Dog Recovery Collar is a donut-shaped alternative to a traditional cone, designed to help keep dogs from licking or biting wounds after surgery; Size L fits necks measuring 16 in–18 in (40.6–45.7 cm).

• Inflatable donut shape — creates a barrier around your dog’s neck while leaving their vision unobstructed.
• Size L fits a 16 in–18 in neck circumference — helps you match the collar to your dog.
• Adjustable closures and three inner fixing straps — let you secure the collar and connect it to a regular dog collar.
• High-density, puncture-resistant PVC bladder and scratch-resistant fabric cover — made for everyday wear during recovery.
• Removable cover and quick-deflate design — make cleaning and compact storage more convenient.

After surgery, a dog may need a barrier that helps prevent access to a healing area without the bulky shape of a traditional cone. This inflatable recovery collar surrounds the neck while leaving the dog’s field of vision clear, making it suitable for recovery at home and for compact storage when it is not being used.

How does the KOOLTAIL collar help protect a dog after surgery?

The KOOLTAIL inflatable collar forms a soft barrier around the neck to help prevent a dog from licking or biting wounds. Its donut profile is a lightweight alternative to a traditional cone, and the design does not block vision, so dogs can eat, drink, sleep, and play while wearing it. The soft, breathable outer fabric surrounds a plush air-filled pillow that supports the neck; the collar can also serve as a neck pillow for resting.

• Scratch- and bite-resistant construction for use during recovery.
• Reflective webbing adds visibility at night.

How do I choose the right fit for Size L?

Size L is made for a neck circumference of 16 in–18 in (40.6–45.7 cm). Measure your dog’s neck and compare it with this range before choosing this size. An adjustable circular strap on the outside and hook-and-loop fasteners help you adjust the fit, while three straps inside the collar can be inserted into a regular dog collar to improve stability and help keep the inflatable collar in place.

• Adjust the inflation level to change the collar’s firmness.
• The inflation valve is positioned at the back to keep it away from a dog’s teeth.

How do you inflate, clean, and store the collar?

Inflate the KOOLTAIL collar by mouth or with a pump, then adjust the amount of air to set its firmness. The inner bladder is made from high-density, puncture-resistant PVC, and the manufacturer says it holds air reliably. The removable fabric cover can be wiped clean, and the collar deflates quickly for compact storage at home or when travelling.

• The PVC may arrive rolled from packaging; gently adjust it or allow 1–3 days for it to return to its original shape.
• The collar’s inflatable design lets you reduce its size for storage when it is not in use.

This collar is suited to dog owners seeking an inflatable recovery barrier with an adjustable Size L fit, a clear-vision design, and a removable cover. It is intended to help limit access to wounds after surgery while allowing everyday activities such as eating, drinking, sleeping, and playing.
