Dog Recovery Suit Abdominal Wound Puppy Surgical Clothes Post-Operative Vest Pet After Surgery Wear Substitute E-Collar & Cone(M,Blue Stripe)

This item is white amazing. Our old doggo has a tumour that swings udder like and pulls on her side constantly. It cannot be removed without major complications but makes life pretty uncomfortable due to its weight and placement. This lil outfit is super, we had to wear it upside down to ensure it held the dangling growth like a sports bra. Our elderly Belgian shepherd didn’t hate it because she actually got relief. It was easy to get on and easier to get off. So, in our photos she’s wearing it upside down in the photos, that’s why it looks like she has some cleavage, it would come up to the collar area normally. It has a place for everything and they can even wear it outside to go to the yard bathroom for girl and boy dog parts. We had to get a 3xxxl because her chest is so thiq and it is quite loose around d her old lady dog hips, but with the little (good quality) plastic snaps that run along the entire length of the coat, you can kinda customize how it falls and we just tied it in a knot where it hung too low. I think if she was in the athletic condition of her youth, a smaller size would be made. This is not an item retrofitted for a dog, this item is specifically made and made very very well for good dogs. It’s outstanding and soft and comfy and not too hot, because they can’t sweat, it sorta feels like modell sheets or bamboo sheets, it’s silky and stretchy and lovely. I was surprised she didn’t hate it. She hated anything like a Halloween costume or shirt I put on her once but not this. It’s super. The size I got would fit a Great Dane and while Malinois are smaller than German shepherds, their chests are really stout. The length was too long but this wasn’t a problem due to the construction of the material. She had no tightness at any of the four leg holes or the tail holeOne thing I’d recommend would be to maybe list some breeds of dogs by each size for some reference but I also think this could be confusing because of what I just said about having to go up many sizes more than expected.

After multiple litters, our rescued 24 lb Beagle was going in to be spayed. The vet provided an e-collar/cone after surgery. However, because Beagles are notorious for rejecting cones, she strongly suggested we get a recovery suit.Amazon delivered the suit the day before she went in for surgery. After bringing her home, it took us a few minutes to figure out which side was which and how to fit it on her. The material is a bit stretchy which helps and the large size fit her very well. She didn't seem to have any problems with her bathroom breaks and while she occasionally sniffed around the incision, she didn't try to lick or bite at it. It was easy to un-snap and re-snap the suit to check her incision for the first few days. After that, the incision was healing nicely and the sedatives kept her and her "sister" Vizsla from doing their typical hurdles over the furniture.We only needed it for about 10 - 14 days but it was well worth the cost since it avoided a frustrated dog and an even more frustrated family. From a cost/benefit standpoint, recovery suits deliver very good value and this item delivers good quality and does the job nicely.

On the advice of a friend, I bought two of these to use after our Golden's spay surgery. They were a godsend! For reference, our dog is lean and weighs 55 lbs - I bought the XXL. I thought it would be huge, but it fit just right. It's sightly on the large side, but the XL would have been too small. It's a nice, stretchy jersey-knit fabric - much like a t-shirt. I thought she'd hate wearing this, but she actually liked it. I think it was comforting. It's not thick fabric, but it is reinforced at the spay incision location. We still used a "comfy cone" at night for the first week, as I didn't trust that this suit would keep her from biting at the incision while unsupervised, but I don't think it was really necessary. I deducted one star for the fasteners: there are about 30 TINY black snaps (hard to see) that run up the back of the suit. Not ideal when trying to wrestle this suit onto a non-compliant dog. Either big snaps or buttons would be much easier. Still, a really great solution.

We chose to go with a body suit after a spay due to the damage to our legs and furniture that our large cone-wearing 18-month-old puppy was threatening or downright causing.Overall, the XXL suit works decently for our young, 65-pound, German Shepherd-built female. Her measurements are: Neck 18-19", chest 29", and length 23-24". The length of the suit was a little short but not a deal breaker, and I went with the shorter length versus wider girth to keep the suit from being too loose near her spay site. The neck is a bit loose, but it stays on.The snaps are a bit tedious to snap, but they have stayed secure through play sessions with our other dog. Alas, there has been no way to keep the GS puppy from playing and cavorting about after the first three or so days, so we've just watched her wound site carefully.The suit has sustained some small holes due to the above-mentioned play with the other dog in the house, but that has no bearing on its design or manufacture. I'll keep the suit after the recovery period is up and can patch the holes with "polka-dots" of other jersey material, saving it in case it is needed in our future of dog ownership. We can always call the mended suit a costume, LOL.We have had no issues with potty-ing while wearing the suit. There is indeed an area that can be cut out for a male dog to urinate while in the suit. (If that was an area of concern for a male dog, one could leave the fabric intact and simply partially or fully remove the suit for elimination purposes.)We have taken off the suit at night and put the dog back in the Elizabethan collar (cone) and kenneled her for the safety of the suit and peace of mind that she didn't get to her wound while without close supervision. She's been a trooper and has been much happier in the suit than the cone.
