Yes it should help. You can inflate it as much as you want. The fuller it is, the harder to drop his/her head down lower. I left it in my little puppy for almost 10 days straight after surgery- slept in it as well, very soft- comfortable than most. It is worth a try.

Yes I thing so since you can thread his collar inside the e-collar so it won't fall off

I believe so. Our little dog (Jack Russell/Dachshund mix) had an injury to a hind leg and is probably about the same size as cat! ;-)) We were able to keep him away from the area but still allow him to eat and drink, something the plastic cone didn't allow.

I bought this collar for my cat, and she slipped right out of it, even though I had adjusted it properly for her neck size. Unless your cat wears a regular collar you can attach the Kong collar to, don't waste your money.

Yes, it is going to help, as long as you can attach it to something not so smooth, so that it does not slip off his head.

Greetings! I ordered the smallest size (Size 0), and while it was a good fit for my cat, she was still able to lick her stomach in spite of the collar by sitting up on her hind quarters, leaning forward and "hunching over her gut." The product we found that does the best job of prohibiting her from doing this is the Neck Hug by Wagtail Farms. So that is the product I recommend. Good luck!

Mine was small as well. My cat weighs about 15 pounds and since the wound was on his neck, this worked out great. I thought the fit would be tight, but it was just right. And he was unable to escape from the collar, but he did lick it and scratch a lot :)

The collar has to be tight enough for the 2 raised metal buttons to make contact with the cats skin. We just kept adjusting until we got there. It may seem too tight but I assure you it is fine. Our cat weighs about 14 lbs and it works just fine. After a couple zings, he now runs stops the second he hears the warning tone.

I would try a bigger size if you want to avoid scratches on the face. With the extra small, my cat can lick her paws (not a problem since her surgery was on the tummy). Your dog won't be able to scratch from the regular position, but she may be able to bend in a way to "poke/pet" her head with the back paws if you get a small size

Every feline is different. This product did not work at all for my cat...so I am not sure if it would work. I work with feral cats who are sometimes unable to even touch...I use a safe trap with tuna...also, your vet may be able to recommend something to calm her for her grooming. Hope this helps.

I don't think there will be any problem with a short tail. At first my cat tried to get out of the pants, but he only got a hind leg out by biting at one of the two velcro buckles on the side.

i have three cats as well, and would never expose them to being hurt. that being said, i tested the scat-mat on myself when i opened it... it was a slight shock. not painful at all, just annoying enough to cats that they learn to stay away. lately, i dont even plug it in anymore, i just leave it laying there. they avoid it by sight alone. ive accidentally stepped on it barefoot plenty of times- you definitely notice it, but it definitely doesnt hurt. it just gets the cats attention and makes them associate that spot with something unpleasant.

i would say no. i give it along with wet and a good dry food.you should check with a vet first just like humans every cat is different.hope this helps

Thankfully I don't know yet. We rescued a male cat that started urinating on our bed. The three times it happened it did not soak down past the blankets.

It would be too small for her entire body, but with it getting warm upon pressure, it would provide heat on the part of her that was lying on it. I have a 23 pound cat and he fills up the entire mat, so only about a 1/3 of her would feel the heat.

I have a cat that likes to climb and I have put a drape cloth over my chair, just to be safe, but I haven't found any where her claws have penetrated yet. Not saying it won't happen, but I did put the old blanket over to be safe

My cat did not try to escape from the holster. I think she (more or less) felt secure in it. One thing if you have a rather long haired cat the velcro closure may snag the cats belly hair. Hopefully they will redesign the holster where it attaches on top rather than underneath.

Our cat is roughly 30 lbs which is huge but we damp a cloth and rub places he can't lick like his back once a week. A bottle last months for us.

Sorry. Our cat weighs less than ten pounds, so we're not in a position to make a judgement re your situation. The first couple of times we tried it, she slipped right out of it and POUFF was gone...but not far.

It can but I would give him a break as much as possible. It has a cut out so they can still go to the bathroom but it can rub. Our female has an infection in that area now. The vet can't say for sure if it's caused by her wearing this too much, but she said it isn't helping either. So we try not to leave it on for extended periods like all night or during the day when we're working.

I have never had a problem with the collar affecting my cat's skin. I always made sure the collar was loose enough that it would come off should my cat get caught on something and needed the collar off to free himself. He wears the collar 24/7 and his collar is replaced the first of each month!
