Highlighted Reviews
"The plastic has a slight frost as depicted in pictures. My only reason for four stars is one of the three clips was missing and why are they black anyway? Obviously didn't help prevent a missing clip."
"Bought the large which they show fitting a boxer in the pictures and when I got it the cone was too small and most likely would fit a small dog"

Potential buyers should consider alternatives due to the consistent negative feedback on sizing, functionality, and durability. This product is not recommended for dogs needing an E-collar.
