Cone Vs Tube, Pros and Cons

Getting dogs to leave their wounds so they can heal can be a real challenge, but having the right E-collar for your dog can make a difference in recovery time and prevent you from having to take your dog back to the veterinarian to fight off an infection from licking or repair the damage. But which cone will work best on your dog? Whether you've tried a traditional plastic E-collar and it didn't work, or you simply have so much love, you want your dog to wear a most comfortable e-collar during recovery, Million Dogs have 2 amazing alternatives!

Each type of collar comes with pros and cons! Let's talk about how to pick the right one.

Anxiety-Free Healing Cone ┃ Million Dogs

With the Million Dogs Anxiety Free Healing Cone, stitches stay in and save you an extra trip to the veterinarian for replacements. Proper wound care after surgery will help your dog heal faster and have fewer complications.

The Anxiety Free Healing Cone will allow you to cleanse the area without your pup's little, wet nose getting in the way.

 If your pup is not crazy about the stiff recovery collars, we now have soft cone collars that are more comfortable alternatives. Because they’re flexible, your dog can do many of his normal activities without you having to remove the collar. Your dog can just eat, drink and play with as few restrictions as possible. 

• Pros

Donut Healing Tube ┃ Million Dogs

Your pet will heal in comfort and style with our lightweight, water-resistant Donut healing tube. Our super soft and comfortable healing tube enables your dog or cat an increased range of movement compared to a cone. It allows easy access to his dinner and water while protecting his injury and promoting a faster, stress-free recovery.  

With cozy poly fill for your pet’s comfort, it allows your pet to eat, drink, play, and sleep normally and doesn’t block their vision during their recovery. The soft donut fits right around your pet’s collar and can be used with dogs or cats.

• Pros

• Cons

Whatever your choice, make sure your e-collar alternative adequately protects the injury site. And don’t forget that even when wearing the Healing cone or healing tube, dogs need supervision after surgery. So book an experienced pet sitter or find a dog lover to drop by during the day if you can’t be around to monitor.
