GLADOG Soft Dog Cone Collar, 2 Pack
A cheap soft cone two pack that helps with sizing, though fit and durability vary.
The short version
- Owners told by their vet to use a cone who want a softer option than hard plastic
- Anyone unsure which size to buy, since the set includes two
- Your vet wants a rigid cone, for example to protect the eyes
- Your dog is determined and strong enough to fold a flexible edge
- Your dog is at the top of the XXL range
What owners like
- Easy to put on and take off
- Strong hook and loop closure
- Light and see-through, so pets can eat, drink and sleep
Common complaints
- Sizing is hard to get right, and some find it too small for large dogs

What it does
A flexible PVC recovery cone with soft fabric edges and a hook and loop closure, sold two to a set in neighboring sizes; the original Manifont cone is no longer listed, and its Amazon listing now sells this GLADOG set.
- Two cones per set in adjacent sizes, so one is likely to fit
- Lightweight PVC with soft fabric edging around the rim
- Hook and loop strap to tighten or loosen the fit
- Listing advises sizing up if the dog is at the top of a range
- Marketed for dogs and cats
A low cost soft cone for owners who are unsure of sizing, since each set includes two close sizes to try. Soft cones are quieter and easier around the house than hard plastic, but Preventive Vet and Whole Dog Journal note that some dogs can bend flexible edges to reach the area, and owner feedback on GLADOG sizing and durability is mixed.

Worth knowing

- Maker safety information is limited to material and a size chart, so this is scored conservatively.
- Whole Dog Journal notes heat and moisture can build up under cones during long wear, and that some Velcro closures are loud for sound sensitive dogs.
Questions
How should a dog cone fit?
Preventive Vet suggests a snug fit with room for two fingers at the neck, and a cone that reaches about 2 inches past the nose.
What size GLADOG cone do I need?
Measure neck girth and nose to neck depth and match the listing's chart. GLADOG advises sizing up if the dog is at the top of a range.
Can a dog eat and drink in a soft cone?
Usually, since soft cones flex around bowls, but fit and the dog both matter.
What happened to the Manifont soft cone?
The Manifont brand is no longer listed. Its Amazon listing now sells this GLADOG two pack.
