I have a 60lb lab/rhodesian mix. Do you think he will be able to chew this up while he's wearing it, and/or take it off?

We used it (large) on our ~60 lb lab and it worked great. Put his collar thru the loops provided and try to keep the closure seam as close to the top as possible. He was able to eat and drink just fine and could not get to his incision (spay/neuter). We did not fold it at any time.

I really doubt it. My Weimaraner is about 75lbs. The collar has a little bit of adjustment available. Hope this helps

I doubt it. My dog is a 90 lb. Standard Poodle and it worked fine for him. The collar extends past the point where the dog can get his teeth into the rim and bite it, and it attaches with pretty strong Velcro so it would be practically impossible for the dog to remove it. I worried about my dog being able to lick or bite his wound with this collar because a poodle has a very long snout, but, with the size XL, he couldn't do that. Hope this helps.

If he's a determined chewer, possibly. The dog's collar threads through elastic tabs at the base of the cone, so if it slides around the cone rotates. If he paws at the velcro strip that closes the cone on the outside he would be able to get the cone open but it would hang from his collar. If he is young and active I would think that the stiff plastic cone would be more secure.

Our 75 lb lab didn't and she eats everything. She did lick the inside of it but couldn't get her teeth around it and couldn't take it off.

He won't chew it up. All you have to do is fold it when he is eatting and drinking. The comfy cone is very comfortable for him to sleep. I suggest for you not to take it off.

My dog is golden retriever, he's around 55 lb. Sometimes he can take it off by himself but not chew it.

There is always the possibility with any type of E-collar for chewing. The best you can do is make sure that you purchase one that's long enough for his nose. This ensures he can't get his mouth around it very easily.

I've tried the collar with our mix (about 40 lbs, supposed to be Shiba Inu in her as well), but it didn't work. However, not with regards to fitting but with regards to not having her pull so much. I've sent it back and got full refund.

It is all relative to the current and ultimate size of your puppy. It will last because of it's durability and your puppy will not be able to chew it off. That is what really counts.

I'd say yes...just be careful on not pulling it too hard or do it to close to his skin so it is not uncomfortable. I am not familiar with dogs, but I would just keep an eye and if he/she shows a bit distressed just remove, no need to make him/her uncomfortable. Hope this helps.

Don't know if that will be a problem. This is not designed as a pet garment. Might be uncomfortable for long time wear. It's not a very soft material. It is tightly woven to be durable. Plus there are lift handles which hang when not in use that may awkward when not in use. I have a very tolerant large dog and I would never consider leaving him in a harness for any longer than needed to get in and out of car or to move him as needed.

My dog weighs 115 pounds and there is plenty of length for him. I don't think you should have any problems. I got the orange collar on him

Yeah I think so... It's a pretty good quality leather... Unless he just sits down and chews it you should be fine!

It may be a little loose. I have one for my frenchie he's 24 lbs, I have it as tight as it will go and it's a bit loose around his neck but it works well.

No, it will not stay up. I tried teaching my Mini Aussie rescue how to "burrow in" by luring with tiny treats (and he's a smart lil pup, does great at agility and is incredibly fast @ figuring out the dog-puzzle stuff I give him) but no go. I ended up having to leave it mostly-unzipped, wait til he hops in, then come over and zip it up because he quickly falls asleep from the coziness around him. Planning to head to a craft store to find a way to Velcro-attach some sort of semi-rigid-but-flexible strap around the opening so he doesn't need to depend on me to get snuggled.

Labs (including my own) are notorious for ingesting inappropriately large pieces of whatever they're chewing. I really have to watch him with any rawhide - a couple of times almost had to Heimlich him before he gagged it up. If your dog displays any signs of lethargy or distress eliminating, definitely get him to the vet to x-ray his stomach. Most of these products have warnings about the dangers of such incidents. Thanks for the heads-up though...my guy may need to live without them, even though it looks like something he'd enjoy!

I have a 70 lb American Bulldog and the collar is a bit tight on him to the point that I don't like putting it on him. However I have put it on him before and he definatly responds to it. Also the collar I beleive/feel that the clip is cheaply made and I had it on my 40 lb black lab and it broke. I still need to get a different collar so I can continue to use it. Hope this helps.

If you secure them on properly then they shouldn't be able to be pulled off by your dog. Now if you are asking if the material can be chewed off then I'd say its possible if you have a dog that's a chewer. When I first put them on mine he is constantly trying to chew them off, so I have to make sure he isn't playing with them. The quality is great, so as long as you're not letting your dog mess around with them then they should hold up.

Probably not. It's a heavy weave fabric, but any fabric is chewable to strong dog teeth.

We have an 80-pound lab mix and he loves it. We can even shrink it down to the medium setting and he still fits well.

I think it will be too big. We have a 35lb Beagle mix and when we put it around her neck there is an extra foot of strap hanging off. We have to put a rubber band around the collar and tuck the tail end up under it or it drags on the ground. In hindsight I probably should have got a bigger collar but I thought she'd grow more. I haven't seen the next size down though, so I don't know how that would fit. Also I don't know if it's possible to get a smaller strap for this unit.

We have a Miniature Schnauzer. He did chew a little on one of the white bone shapes so I pick those up after he's done playing with the toy. He has never chewed on the rest of the toy. If you have a large dog who is a heavy chewer, I'd put it away when he's done playing with it.

The yellow cap could be chewed up. I corrected puppy when he first tried. (That is where the kibble is stored so it made perfect sense for him to try it). Mine wasn't interested in chewing at the cap once he found out there was another way to get the food. The body is too large for chewing on (I have only seen the large size so far. It is surprisingly large.) and it is very sturdy thick plastic I bought mine from here with the Starmark brand name, but it looks like Leerburg is selling the exact same line of toys so I assume they are supplied from the same manufacture.
