Suitical Recovery Suit Dog, Medium, Pink Camouflage

Our Lab had to have surgery to have her uterus removed and she was doomed to the 'cone of shame' for a while. After a few days I felt it would be nice to let her have the cone off in the day and just have it on for piece of mind at night. I have one of the inflatable ones but didn't trust she wouldn't be able to get to her wound or shaved areas were she had injections/fluids. I decided to look online for something and came across the Suitical recovery suit. I spent quite a bit of time contemplating which size to get - either Medium Plus or Large - and trying to measure her. She is a small, slender Lab at around 26kg, so I decided to go for the Medium Plus. It actually fit her pretty perfectly! The material (mostly cotton with a bit of lycra) - is pretty stretchy. New on, it was very hugging, but not too tight that she would be uncomfortable. The important part was that it was stretched over her everywhere apart from the tummy area where her wound was, which had a little roominess. So that was great as I didn't want it to be tight and rub there. She was a little unsure what she had one her at first but soon go used to it and could tell she was so much more comfortable than being in that big ol' plastic cone! So we kept her in this suit for around 1 week with wearing the cone at night, then another week with no cone at all. It's been absolutely brilliant. Washed it twice and no issues there either. Also over time of her wearing it it's loosened up just a bit for her. After the'd been wearing it for a while or sleeping in it, I did have to just shimmy it up a bit but that's no big deal. The poppers at the back make it really easy to just unpop for when they want to go out for their business. You can kind of roll it up to keep the back bits out the way. I found there is 1 popper underneath and a strap with popper on inside. What I did was tuck the back parts inside then you can pop the strap bit around - although the back flaps could still come out if the shook or ran about enough so not too sure. I looked to see if there were instructions for their recommendation of how to use it but there wasn't any in the packet. Again - no big deal though! I couldn't comment on how long this suit would last with prolonged use, but it's been great for the 2 weeks she's had it on and if she ever needs it again (hopefully not!) then we have it ready to go. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another either!

Our dog has a sore patch that she wouldn't stop scratching and we chose this over a cone and definitely no regrets there (even though she isn't particularly happy about it). She is a strange shape - somewhere between a sausage dog and a large terrier. Long back, short legs, fat neck and slim body so sizing is generally a nightmare for her. I ordered a small and small plus (expecting the latter to fit better based on her measurements) but in fact that small was the perfect length. Great fit on the front but little baggy around back half so I'd suggest it definitely runs a little large size wise. If she had a wound on her butt or lower tummy she could get to it (luckily hers is on her back). The product is great! Good stretchy, soft, breathable material and tight but comfortable around legs and neck. Only potential negative could be bathroom breaks. There isn't room for them to go without undoing it and (rightly so) the poppers aren't the easiest to keep undoing and doing up at the back. It's been fine for her because she doesn't touch her sore on walks so we just take it off for them. If she was keeping it on for walks though I'd probably go for something with the gap around the butt area so she could pee and poop at leisure. For us, really pleased with it and would recommend.

we weren't really thinking of post-op when we had our 5 year old bearded collie spayed, but after returning home afterward, wearing the cone, she clunked into every step into the house and then every door she went through! 10 days of this was not going to happen, for her sake and ours, so we one-day rushed the pink suit in size large. the cone came off instantly though, and a combination of a cut up t-shirt and a thundershirt had to do on a makeshift basis, and lasted overnight. the suit arrived in under 12 hours, and was simple to put on, and fitted like it had been tailored! she quickly became at ease wearing the suit, which, as designed, prevented her from accessing her wound for a good lick! for toileting it is a breeze just to undo poppers, roll back the suit a little, and re-attach poppers at her back, so there is no trailing on the ground. she's a clever girl, and waits for it to be adjusted when she comes back into the house! the only time it has been removed is for walks, as we figured (correctly, it seems) that she wouldn't attempt to access the wound when walking, and for washing - quick to wash and dry, no shrinkage! innovative piece of design, so well made, already relatives and friends are indicating they will purchase one, for many other reasons than spaying. (or trying to borrow ours!) next door neighbour said that he liked her in pink camouflage. i replied in the positive, but said 'if we ever find ourselves in a pink jungle, we're in bother!'

not very good if you dont keep an eye on the dog as they can get out of it quite easy, we had three different makes and she managed to get out of all. we also had one for a cat which lasted on the cat just a few minutes. The dog wore it during the day and it stayed on while we were watching, night times she managed to wriggle out of them. suit is made well, lovely and soft material and fairly easy to put on, does protect the wound when its on. price from this company is cheaper than obtaining from vets.

My dog was spayed and being rather large had an absolutely massive e-collar to wear which she totally hated. I bought one of these so she would be able to sleep and also to wear during the day so she didn't keep bashing into things. I am so glad I did!! This was an absolute lifesaver. I ordered a medium for my 30KG German Shepherd x Collie and it was rather snug but despite probably being a size too small it did not rub her anywhere and she was comfortable enough to sleep and play. It was incredibly easy to roll up for when I brought her out into the garden to go to the loo and easy to roll back down while still avoiding my dogs stitches. I ran it through the washing machine and it came out exactly the same, no shrinkage and no shape change and I was able to pop it straight back onto her. The only thing I did notice was that my dogs hair fell out at an absolutely unbelievable rate once she started wearing this though the vet did say it could have been due to the anaesthetic and the stress of the op. However once her stitches were out and she stopped wearing it the hair shedding stopped too. It could have been that I noticed it more since it wasn't able to naturally blow around with the suit on. I absolutely love this product, it was exactly what I needed for my dog and I am so happy to have it. I would 100% recommend it, especially for post spay operations and imagine it would be just as good for any stitches or issues on the dogs body.

Did the job. I was slightly worried as my dog is very nervous even when I'm putting his harness on so I didn't have much hope and thought he will rip it off. He was wearing it for two weeks after his surgery with no problem. It really helped with not licking the wound. It fits well, just check the size chart. Easy to put on and easy fastening plus looks really cool 😎 Quality not bad however I've noticed a little hole on it and color slightly faded after few washes but generally good quality product. I would recommend take it off for a walk as after just rolling it up it came a bit wet after walking on longer grass.

I purchased this for my cocker spaniel after she had surgery on her anul gland. She really did not like a cone or inflatable collar and she whined constantly. I saw the reviews on this and purchased with next day delivery. It is an amazing product. She was so much happier. This covers her all over including her rear end. This meant she was able to be free of a cone but was unable to lick her wound. She also has dermatitis and it miraculously has stopped her itching as well. It’s easy to put on and the poppers are easy to fasten. For toilet breaks I just unpopper and roll it up her body. I measured her and she actually measured in the Small size but I purchased the small plus as cocker spaniel was listed under that size. I did not want it tight as I did not want it rubbing her wound. The small plus fits her perfectly. Well worth every penny. Update: after warring it daily for one week, my dog got a hole in it from scratching herself and one of the poppers fell off whilst undoing it for a toilet break. So a bit disappointed for the cost that it did not last more than a week. Still and excellent idea though

Excellent quality item, love the extra popper to allow you to roll up the back for toiletting (although we found it easier simply to take it off entirely for walks). It is very easy to get on and off - even with our very anxious dog who basically curled herself into a ball! My one criticism would be with regards to sizing - for very slim dogs, our puppy is a 10kg mixed breed but similar to a whippet in body shape, size down. Despite taking care to measure, which at 47cm was very clearly a size small, it is verybaggy around the belly area and not stretched at all. An XS would have given a better fit. Despite reading all questions and answers here, the response was simply to measure and follow the guidelines which didn't really work for our dog. It'll do the job and stop her licking her stitches after being speyed but the extra fabric underneath means that her elbows get caught up making getting up awkward which for a very nervous little rescue pup, isn't ideal. That said, lots of great features and excellent quality, easy to fit and wash.
