The ZenCone is a soft-sided recovery collar built from a canvas exterior with a padded lining, designed to keep dogs from reaching surgical sites, hot spots, or other healing areas. Cut-out windows on each side let a dog retain its peripheral vision and hearing, which a solid plastic cone blocks. Three adjustable straps secure the collar around the neck, and built-in rings let an everyday flat collar be threaded through for extra hold. The fabric folds back so a dog can eat and drink, and it rolls flat for storage between uses. Each collar is hand or machine washable for reuse across a recovery period. It is available in several sizes to match different neck measurements.
