anyone use an alternative to the Cone after neuter?

[Renzo Red]

I want to be prepared for Renzo's neuter recovery so I would like to get him comfortable with the cone prior to. All my 5 rescues were already neutered so I do not have experience with this. I cannot wait 18 months or 2 years because I have a neutered pit bull male residing with me he is 17 years old and has a bit of an attitude now as Renzo matures. Has anyone used the surgical suit or the donut??

The surgical suit works great! The donut needs to be doubled up due to dobies being so flexible....I'll find a photo of Falcon in the donuts for you.....

I also used the 'Bite Not' collar and one donut....the bite not keeps them from being able to put their chin down...I used the suit, then the donuts after a few days so he would leave incision alone.
