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.

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 have a 75lb lab/ridgeback mix and he is very active pup. It has held up great so far. No rips or tears, and no bending in the legs of the frame. Ours is very well made. I don't know if that helps, just my experience.

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 have a VERY large Lab - measured her neck - it is 22" and the collar fits easily. The harness part is adjustable - no problem there. The only part that would be a problem is the top choke collar - as it is a fixed size which has to slip over the dogs head. I think you will be fine - should fit OK. I am very happy with the collar and design - it does exactly what it is designed to do - keeps the choke part at the top of the neck and keeps it loose unless you or dog pull on it. I have one for each of my labs - they are great!!! I did get the largest size - think it is just called Large? I have a VERY large Lab - measured her neck - it is 22" and the collar fits easily.

I would say no because you can't leave it on all the time because it could cause sores on the dogs neck. if you put it on the main collar, he/she wouldn't have his tags at the times you remove it.

My dog is about the same weight and I would call her a very aggressive chewer. This is by far her favorite chew toy and it has lasted way longer than I ever expected. It is chewed up pretty well, but she still loves it and it looks to last for a good while yet. You might want to give it a try. Good luck!

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.

I have a 75 pound lab-boxer and it fits him nicely...but his neck is probably not as big as yours...he has more the lab neck instead of the boxer neck. The collar is very sturdy and is great for water dogs!

I would think so. I only have the medium, but it's likely. Lab would have to be somewhat calm, if your dog's too strong, may be able to create a tear along a seam.

Mine hasn't. But my dog does not wear it much. It's off most odds the time...

Keeping it doesn't bother the dog, and it's a neat little collar so it's not a necessity to take it off, but if you want to give him another collar, for appearances later on after he obeys all commands without correction then you could do that too

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.

No, we have a 63 lb lab. He has caught it in his mouth several times. We have thrown it on the driveway, hard as possible. It only comes apart if you take it apart, or don't put it together right. Have fun! Don't make it so complicated.

For sure, the neck hole is very generous. I find that unless your dog is intentionally pulling backwards and TRYING to slip out it should't come off. It's a great running/pulling harness. I got the medium for my husky (she's 22kg) if that helps for comparison.

It's a pretty tough fabric. Unless he's actually clawing at it or digging on it it should be fine. It's hard to answer this question except to say I think it will be fine. I have a 90lb rottie that has been using it for over 2 years. She doesn't claw at it or mess with it though. I also put an old comforter I had on it. A dog certainly could destroy this though if it wanted to, but it's not going to happen by accident.
