We had to make sure he didn’t lick the incision at night when we couldn’t see him. This cone gives a lot more air flow and allows for laying head flat. Very easy on and off (Velcro ) and works great. Much more pleasant for him

If you need to keep stairs blocked or a doorway or keep dogs away from each other this has been essential! Mobile instead of attached which makes it helpful to move at bed time
Clear Acrylic Dog Gate, Freestanding Pet Gate for Doorways Indoor, Foldable Acrylic Dog Playpen No Drilling (Clear, 4-Panel)
Belly band is also super helpful to keep him away from his incision as it’s not bandaged- I also feel like it gives it support when he tries to stand so it doesn’t stress the incision site

Also hate cutting pills with knives and this is fantastic-

This has been essential for a huge incision on our dogs belly (spleen removed) to keep the cold and then warm compress in place.
