MIDOG Inflatable Dog Recovery Collar, Grapefruit Medium+ – Soft Adjustable Donut

MIDOG Inflatable Dog Cone is a soft donut-shaped recovery collar designed to help protect healing areas from licking and biting, with an adjustable fit and an inflatable design for post-surgery use.

• Donut-shaped inflatable design — helps block access to wounds while allowing a full range of vision.
• Soft alternative to a plastic cone — supports more comfortable movement around home during recovery.
• Adjustable strap and inner collar loops — help keep the collar securely in place.
• Removable, machine-washable nylon cover — makes routine cleaning straightforward.
• Seven neck-size options, from X-Small to X-Large — give you a range to compare with your dog’s measurement.

After surgery or when a dog has a hotspot or wound, preventing licking and biting can help protect the affected area. MIDOG’s inflatable donut collar is made for recovery at home, where a dog may need to move around, eat, drink, and rest while wearing a protective collar. Its shape is designed to limit neck rotation enough to discourage access to healing areas, without blocking the dog’s full field of vision.

How does the inflatable collar help protect a wound?

The donut shape acts as a barrier that helps prevent a dog from biting or licking stitches, hotspots, and wounds. It restricts neck rotation while still allowing comfortable movement, and the collar’s open design preserves a full range of vision. The soft inflatable form offers an alternative to a rigid plastic cone and is intended to ease anxiety during post-surgery healing.

• Designed for post-surgery recovery and protection of healing areas.
• Allows dogs to see, eat, drink, and sleep while wearing the collar.

How do I choose a size and secure the collar?

MIDOG offers seven neck sizes, from X-Small at 6–9 in (15.24–22.86 cm) to X-Large at 21–24 in (53.34–60.96 cm); measure your dog’s neck before choosing a size. The product title identifies this version as Medium+. Thread your dog’s own collar through the inflatable collar’s inner loops, then adjust the strap for a secure hold.

• Inner loops connect the recovery collar with your dog’s collar.
• The adjustable strap provides a custom hold.

Measure the neck and compare it with the available size range to help choose a suitable fit.

How do I inflate and clean 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 during recovery. Wipe the exterior clean, or remove the nylon cover for machine washing in cold water and air-dry it.

• The soft, scratch-proof exterior is designed to be gentle on walls and furniture.
• Powerful chewers and large, active breeds need close supervision because a determined dog may puncture the inflatable bladder.
• This collar is not intended for destructive chewers.

MIDOG Inflatable Dog Cone suits dogs needing a soft, inflatable barrier around stitches, hotspots, or wounds while they eat, drink, move, and rest at home. It is best suited to dogs that will not chew destructively on the inflatable bladder. Its adjustable strap, collar loops, and removable washable cover make it a practical recovery option for supervised use.
