We are honored to share that The Original Comfy Cone® was named PetMD’s “Best in Show Dog Recovery Cone” in its article, “4 Best Dog Recovery Cones in 2026.” The products featured in PetMD’s Vet Verified guide were selected by a panel of veterinarians and veterinary technicians. Their recommendations considered important factors including protection, comfort, price, and brand reputation. PetMD also states that manufacturers cannot purchase placement or influence the panel’s selections. The Comfy
Cone was recognized for combining the protection pets need during recovery with the comfort and flexibility that help make healing less stressful. Its soft, padded construction allows pets to rest more comfortably, while removable plastic stays provide added structure when needed. The cone can also be folded back for supervised eating and drinking or reversed to help protect the shoulders and chest.
One of the most meaningful comments came from veterinarian Stephanie Howe, DVM, who shared: “This is the cone that I choose for my own pets.” As the original creators of The Comfy Cone, this recognition means so much to our family. Our mission has always been to help pets heal safely without the discomfort, noise, and stress often associated with traditional hard plastic cones. We are grateful to PetMD’s veterinary experts for recognizing the thoughtful design behind The Comfy Cone—and to the veterinarians, pet parents, rescues, and retailers who have trusted it throughout the years.
