Vet Q & ABest comfortable recovery cone for a large dog after spaying?
Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I do not think those pillow ones on the neck work very well. But the soft-sided cones you can certainly use. The hard plastic ones are not really recommended. Dogs don’t resist the soft ones as much as the hard ones. Just make sure that the cone is long enough to go past the end of her nose or she wilI still be able to lick at the incision. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
