hello! my dog is in his 3rd day of post care surgery. we are currently using a cone and we noticed that our dog in not comfortable using a cone, he always try to get the cone out of his head so we are thinking of buying him a sleeve. i already saw one in the internet https://www.licksleeve.com/products/lick-sleeve. any thoughts on this product or any recos that we can use? Thanks!

That link doesn't work for me & I'm not sure what a licksleeve looks like!

However, this is what we've used in the past - seems more comfortable than a cone or 'lampshade'!

Knowing my own dog, a sleeve like that would be chewed/pulled off in about 10 seconds flat! Laughing

We would also use an inflatable collar as they don't restrict movement & are less likely to 'bump' into things.

I would go with the inflatable collar too, at least it doesn't restrict movement or crash into things!

The lick-sleeve is the product which looks like a pair of chaps for dogs, yes ?
May I ask what surgery your dog has had as it will influence the type of protection to be used.

I prefer inflatable collars over the plastic cone of shame but what worked for the spaying of my girls was the mps-medical pet shirt, or equivalent.
