The cone of shame was not made for Big Ass Dogs.
If you have ever tried to find a recovery cone for a mastiff, Great Dane, Newfoundland, Cane Corso, Saint Bernard, or other giant breed, you already know the problem.
Most cones are either too small, too flimsy, wildly awkward, or so massive your dog turns into a walking demolition project.
Walls get scraped. Doorways get bullied. Water bowls get flipped. Your dog looks miserable. You look guilty. Everybody loses.
That’s why we created the Big Ass Boo Boo Recovery Collar Bundle.
This oversized recovery collar gives big dogs a softer, more comfortable alternative to the plastic cone while helping discourage licking, biting, chewing, and general post-procedure nonsense in many common recovery situations.
Why we bundled it with our waterproof collar and leash
Recovery gear for giant dogs has to do two things: fit securely and make real life easier.
That’s why this bundle includes our Big Ass waterproof collar and leash combo. The collar adjusts from 22 inches to 36 inches, making it a much better fit for mastiffs, Danes, Newfies, Corsos, Saints, and other magnificent beasts in the Big Ass Family.
The recovery collar also includes a leash attachment option, so the included waterproof leash becomes genuinely useful instead of random extra stuff in a box.
Look at us being practical. Weird day.
Softer, less clunky, and less cone-of-shame-y
The Big Ass Boo Boo Recovery Collar is designed to sit around your dog’s neck like a soft oversized donut. It helps limit access to areas your dog may try to lick, bite, or chew after a procedure, injury, hot spot, or other vet-approved recovery situation.
Unlike a traditional plastic cone, this style does not stick out in front of your dog’s face like a giant radar dish. That means your dog may be able to rest more comfortably, move around more naturally, and avoid the dramatic “I have been personally betrayed” cone face.
Cheetah print, because recovery doesn’t have to be boring
Your dog is going to look a little ridiculous in any recovery collar — might as well make it the good kind of ridiculous. The Big Ass Boo Boo Cheetah Edition does the job and earns a few laughs while it’s at it.
Because nothing says “please stop licking your stitches” like a giant dog in a cheetah-print recovery donut.
The Ecosystem
Part of the Big Ass lifeSPAN™
Giant breeds don't get enough years. This is the four-part system built to add some.
SSupport — Joint Juice & Mobility Bites work from the inside out; Ruff Relief Cream soothes hot spots, calluses, and allergy flare-ups from the outside in.
PProtect — Big Ass Steps spare their joints the impact of jumping in and out of the truck; the Big Ass Boo Boo Recovery Collar protects healing wounds and hot spots from getting licked raw.
AAnchor — the Big Ass Harness spreads pressure across their frame instead of yanking it onto their neck.
NNest — orthopedic beds that support them through the ~half their life they spend lying down.
Support. Protect. Anchor. Nest. One dog, one system — a longer lifeSPAN.

This recovery collar is designed to help limit access to many areas of the body, but no recovery collar works perfectly for every dog, body shape, or injury location.
Long, flexible, determined, or highly dramatic dogs may still need supervision.
Please follow your veterinarian’s instructions for your dog’s specific recovery needs.
Is this collar inflatable?
No. The Big Ass Boo Boo Recovery Collar is made with dense, padded foam. It is not air-filled, so there is nothing to inflate, deflate, puncture, or pop.
It still is not a chew toy, because apparently dogs read “durable” as “challenge accepted.”
Is this a replacement for the plastic cone from my vet?
It can be a softer alternative for many situations, but you should always follow your vet’s instructions. Depending on your dog’s procedure, injury location, flexibility, and determination level, your vet may still recommend a traditional cone or additional precautions.
Will this fit a mastiff or Great Dane?
That’s the goal. This recovery collar bundle is designed for many giant breeds, and the included Big Ass waterproof collar adjusts from 22" to 36".
Always measure your dog’s neck before ordering, because “big dog” can mean anything from “large and lovable” to “possibly part furniture.”
Why does this bundle include a leash and collar?
Because recovery does not pause potty breaks.
The included Big Ass waterproof collar adjusts from 22" to 36" for a secure giant-dog fit, and the 6-foot waterproof leash works with the recovery collar’s leash attachment option for a more practical walk-ready setup.
Can my dog sleep in it?
Many dogs may rest more comfortably in this style than in a traditional plastic cone, but you should monitor your dog and follow your vet’s recovery guidance.
Is it chew-proof?
Nope. It is a recovery collar, not a chew toy. If your dog is determined to destroy it, supervise them closely.
Can my dog still eat and drink while wearing it?
Many dogs can eat and drink more easily in this style than in a plastic cone, but every dog is different. You may need to monitor and adjust during meals.
Is the cover removable?
The cover can be unzipped for access to the inner components and leash attachment. Follow the care instructions included with the product.
What makes this different from cheap recovery donuts online?
Most recovery collars are made for average-sized dogs. This bundle was built for the Big Ass Family: an oversized recovery collar, a Big Ass waterproof collar that adjusts from 22" to 36", a matching 6-foot waterproof leash, and a cheetah print that is medically unnecessary but emotionally important.
Will this stop my dog from reaching every injury or incision?
Not guaranteed. Recovery collars depend on your dog’s body shape, neck length, flexibility, and the location of the area you’re trying to protect. This collar helps reduce access in many situations, but it is not magic. We tried to find magic. Legal said no.
Can I return my Recovery Collar?
For health and hygiene reasons, the Big Ass Boo Boo Recovery Collar Bundle is not returnable once opened or used. If there is a defect or issue with your order, reach out to us and we’ll make it right.
