Suitical Recovery Suit for Dogs - Dog Surgery Recovery Suit with Clip-Up System - Breathable Fabric for Spay, Neuter, Skin Conditions, Incontinence - M+, Black

Pros: Great fit + Quality + Peace of mind! My pup got the fit and quality she needs to keep her mobility while offering me peace of mind as she recovers from bladder surgery.Very Minor Cons: Limited Color Choices + Oopsie!- Would love more color options as black shows all of her golden fur (not a surprise and expected).- My partner forgot to undo the snaps during a walk and... you can imagine the rest. Luckily it is machine washable but now I'm back buying a second one as back-up (yes, I like it this much).Note: This is machine washable but is air-dry vs tumble dry - I wouldn't let this stop you from buying, but it's good to know!Dog Description: My pup is a rescue / mix of 7 breeds, but the best quick description is a golden retriever with basset hound height legs (I call her a low-rider).Why this was needed: My pup had surgery to remove bladder stones. The vet provided a really nice quality e-collar/cone that's padded but she would bang into things and refused to lay down by herself with it on. Her mobility and sight were very limited as the cone would catch on the floor (due to her being a low-rider). In addition, she started using her hind-legs to scratch and no cone was going to prevent this from happening. My vet recommended her to wear a t-shirt, but it was very challenging to keep on her (even getting inventive with some clips and rubber bands to try to keep it in place). I knew I needed to find an alternative and began researching online.Research: I wanted a suit that would fit her low-rider body, be comfortable, protect her wound as she healed, and prevented the hind leg scratching. I was initially interested in suits that utilized Velcro so that maybe I would have more options to adjust to her size. I read quite a few reviews browsing pictures and videos to see how the dog looked in the suit and seeing if anyone else had a low-rider. In the end the high star reviews landed this one in my top two choices (see the back-up purchase).Sizing: I did use a soft tape measure to get her length (as recommended). I was concerned that even with the correct length that her girth (basset hound) and fluffy fur (golden retriever/chow) would not be size appropriate. I ordered a medium and I am VERY pleased with the result. It really fits her well even with her thick golden/chow mixed fur. She's able to get around (even stairs once she was recovered enough) without an issue. The sleeveless option works with her short legs and the tail opening also works very well with her bushy tail.Sizing: She's overall very comfortable and hasn't had any issues with laying down/feeling restricted. I will add she is NOT a clothing/dress-up dog - she especially doesn't like thing on her head. I had no issues putting this on her initially and asides from doing extra shake-offs (not enough to be concerning) she was herself again. If you're really concerned, I recommend measuring as directed and if you're still not sure, potentially buy two sizes. I was lucky that my first choice worked as well as it did -- I was VERY eager to get these after watching her like a hawk.Quality: The fabric is soft, breathable, and has some give/flexibility (reminds me of a soft good quality t-shirt). The leg holes are well made and offer flexibility, and the snaps are easy to use (both on and off) and stay in place without an issue. I have not used the extra pocket for gauze/padding or an ice pack, but it is a nice feature if I felt she needed it. The blue fabric has allowed me to keep tabs on her recovery (looking for wound leak issues which there hasn't been). I also like the ease of using the snaps. When taking her for walks/bathroom, we do undo the snaps but haven't used the way the manufacture intended. I appreciate that the product designer had the insight to add this level of detail. But we merely fold up the suit and reuse the hind snaps to secure it in place vs the additional snap underneath which has worked fine for us.Peace of mind / Pup Recovery without and with suit -- Licking: Overall, I did not see my pup lick her wound obsessively but knew that this will likely ramp up as she heals. With the cone not working out, I am very pleased to have this suit as an alternative (we're still early into her recovery as I write this).Peace of mind / Pup Recovery without and with suit -- Scratching: Due her tummy being shaved for surgery; I think this was prompting some of the hind leg use for scratching. Prior to getting the suit, I would stop her from scratching using verbal commands. However, we can't watch around the clock, and I noticed some scratch marks/redness/irritation around the area vs. the surgical wound itself. I do feel like since getting the suit she isn't as prone to scratching. I do still need to watch her, but I don't feel like I have to watch her as closely and have been able to sleep without as much worry. In addition, I did purchase some "made for dogs" skin treatment that I put on her after her walks to help with the skin irritation. Overall, I have noticed improvement since having both products. We'll see how the rest of her recovery goes.The back-up purchase: After having this suit on her for a couple of days, I was going to return my back-up unopened. However, due to the "oopsie" I talked about previously (see cons), I ended up putting the other one while this one is hanging to dry. It's one that looks more like a surgical gown with multiple cloth ties (again I was going for things that I felt would fit her size). Unfortunately, while wearing this, the ties have already gotten in the way a bit / needed further adjustment. She struggled going up the stairs and slipped out of the front-leg sleeves (once of my main concerns due to her short legs). I probably could do more to make it work but after having the first suit work so well, I wouldn't give the back-up one another chance. I'm writing this review with my pup confined in the room with me while I continue to wait for the first one to dry.

The Suitical Recovery Suit for dogs is a thoughtfully designed protective garment that I found to be a superior alternative to the traditional Elizabethan collar. The suit, made from a stretchy, breathable fabric, allowed my Spaniel ample movement without compromising the protection of his post-surgery stitches.Fitting the suit was straightforward, with adjustable snaps that catered to his size for a snug yet comfortable fit. The suit's coverage area was ample, effectively deterring him from licking his wounds while also keeping him calm and stress-free, unlike the cone which caused him anxiety.I appreciated the built-in opening for hassle-free bathroom breaks, which eliminated the need for constant suit removal. Cleaning the suit was as simple as a quick cycle in the washing machine, maintaining its shape and comfort after multiple washes.While the suit performed excellently in function, a minor suggestion would be to enhance the range of patterns or colors available to suit different pet personalities.Overall, the Suitical Recovery Suit is a compassionate and practical solution for pet recovery, deserving of a spot in every pet care kit.

Used post spay surgery for our 7-month old collie. Very well made. Clips securely. Compared this suit to a Velcro one that closed around the abdomen. Hands down this suit was much superior in material quality & easy of use! Easy to unclip & roll up when taking our puppy out to go potty. She found the suit very comfortable. Many sizes to choose from. Very happy with purchase.

The suit is made well, washes well in the washing machine and the extra set of snaps let you adjust the way it fits your puppy to some degree.I have an 80lb English Labrador and ordered an X, which was too big. I modified it by bunching up the material on her back using a hair tie. It worked, although not gorgeous. My advice… don’t buy too big, else it won’t prevent your pup from licking the wound or stitches.

This has been a lifesaver. I have two Labrador Retrievers, both females and the youngest of the two just received spay surgery. The cones always seem heavy and uncomfortable. This suit allows the dog to be comfortable and move freely without bumping into things like she would with a cone. Also keeps her from wanting to lick her incision as well. I know dogs are supposed to be kept apart but my oldest dog hates when she can't see the pup. She doesn't fuss with the suit and it keeps her away from the incision site as well. I highly recommend if you have multiple dogs.The material is a soft spandex material. with button snaps and extra padding in the blue area for an ice pack if needed. When your dog has to use the bathroom just roll up the suit midway and it snaps. I don't snap I use the harness to keep it up when she has to use the bathroom.For reference at the time of purchase she was a 60lb lab. I originally ordered a medium+ and it was big in some areas. I than ordered a medium and it fit perfectly. The suit again is form fitting.

My dog measured right in the middle for an XL in length, but it’s way too big at the back where it snaps, he was able to get to his neuter wound, so I had to order another one a size smaller.

Arrived super fast! The XL fit my 110st Bernard perfectly well! A little tight, but I think that’s how it’s supposed to fit. Puppy looked cute in this after his neuter, and didn’t attempt to lick parts he wasn’t supposed to. Although if you have a stubborn pup, I think they can easily get this wet. Or will try to lick if you are not watching them. Anyway, it was easy to clean and easy to put on and take off. Well made

I bought a onesie (different company) and an inflatable collar for my golden retriever to protect sutures following neuter surgery. Neither worked so this one was the third try. The measuring tool was very accurate for sizing and the onesie fit perfectly, snug around legs without being tight. Fabric was soft to the touch. So comfortable my dog wanted to wear it longer than he needed to. Easy to get on and off or roll up part way when we took him out to pee. Washed well. Honesty I wish I’d found this one first and that id bought two so I could switch out and wash one as needed.

....und stört den Patienten scheinbar wenig!Die grösse war gut (Kurzhaarcollie, 24kg)Kann man ganz klar weiter empfehlen! 👍

Ho comprato questo body post sterilizzazione, per la mia grigiona. È comodissimo perché ha i pussuar, quindi per aprirlo e chiuderlo è veloce; il materiale con cui è fatto è ottimo, leggermente elasticizzato, quindi anche per inserire le zampe davanti è comodo.

Easy to put on and good quality material. We’ve got an 8kg westie and the extra small fits him perfectly.
