Overview
Tocora's soft cone alternative is a mesh-fabric, velcro-closure collar in a medium size, built as a lighter option than a rigid Elizabethan cone for dogs recovering from surgery.
The pitch is comfort over the traditional plastic cone: lightweight mesh with a velcro adjustment instead of a hard plastic ring. At a 3.8 star rating from 69 reviews, it sits lower than the other items in this batch, though without review text available it isn't possible to say why.
- Soft mesh fabric construction
- Velcro closure
- Medium size
- Alternative to hard plastic cones
Who it's for
Suits medium-sized dogs recovering from surgery or a skin issue where the goal is limiting licking and biting without the bulk of a hard cone. Size is fixed to medium, so it won't fit small or large dogs.

Drawn from this product's published specifications.
