MIDOG Inflatable Dog Recovery Collar, Grapefruit, Large – Soft Donut Design for Healing

MIDOG Inflatable Dog Cone is a Grapefruit-colored donut recovery collar designed to protect dogs after surgery while allowing a full range of vision, eating, drinking, and comfortable rest.

• Inflatable donut shape — gives dogs a soft alternative to a traditional plastic cone.
• Protective barrier around the neck — helps prevent licking or biting stitches, hotspots, and wounds.
• Inner loops and an adjustable strap — let you secure the collar using your dog’s own collar.
• Removable nylon cover — can be machine-washed for easier care.
• Inflation valve — makes it possible to inflate by mouth or with a small air pump.

Recovery collars help protect healing areas when a dog might otherwise lick or bite at them. This inflatable donut design is made for post-surgery recovery, with an open view and room for everyday activities at home. Its soft form is intended to ease anxiety compared with a plastic cone, while still creating a barrier around the neck.

How does the MIDOG collar protect a healing area?

The inflatable ring limits neck rotation to help stop a dog from reaching stitches, hotspots, or wounds. It is designed to let the dog move comfortably while creating a shield against self-inflicted irritation. The open design allows the dog to see around the home, eat, drink, and sleep.

• Use it during post-surgery healing to discourage access to the affected area.
• Its Grapefruit-colored donut shape surrounds the neck rather than forming a rigid panel in front of the face.

How do I choose a size and secure the collar?

Measure your dog’s neck before choosing a size; the collar is secured by threading the dog’s own collar through the inner loops and adjusting the strap. MIDOG offers seven neck-size options, from X-Small at 6–9 in (15.2–22.9 cm) to X-Large at 21–24 in (53.3–61 cm).

• The product variant here is Large; use your dog’s neck measurement when selecting a fit.
• The inner loops help keep the recovery collar in place around the dog’s existing collar.

How do I inflate and care for the recovery collar?

Pinch the valve while blowing into it, or inflate the collar with a small air pump. To let the air out, pinch the valve and press gently; check the air level daily while your dog is recovering.

• Wipe the exterior clean, or remove the nylon cover and machine-wash it in cold water.
• Air-dry the cover after washing; the exterior is designed to be scratch-proof and gentle on walls and furniture.
• Supervise powerful chewers and large, active dogs: a determined dog may puncture the inflatable bladder, and this collar is not for destructive chewers.

MIDOG Inflatable Dog Cone suits dogs needing a recovery barrier while retaining visibility and room to eat, drink, and rest. It is especially suited to homes where a removable, washable cover is useful, provided the dog is not a destructive chewer. The Large Grapefruit collar combines an inflatable donut design with an adjustable attachment and a removable nylon cover.
