How do I measure for the size?

To find your pet's chest size, measure around the body, behind their front legs. To get their length, measure from the base of the neck to the base of their tail.

Male dog friendly?

First of all, I cannot imagine putting Charlie through the inconvenience and cumbersome apparatus of a cone! This suit is SO much more humane and comfortable for Charlie to recuperate in. Though his was a tad too large, ordering a smaller size may have created a too-tight fit right in the most tender area where neutered. Easy enough to unsnap and roll up before doing potty breaks, AND I made it even easier by rolling it up toward his shoulders, grabbing the "under" flap to bring up and over his head, so it was not going to get in the way of peeing on it! GENIUS!! Well-made with soft fabric and launders very well, too! I believe Charlie was proud to wear it!!

I bought this for my 100 lb mix breed (XXL worked) post-neuter surgery. The material is soft, the construction seems very sturdy and the snap mechanism is very easy to use. I like the way it snaps high on his chest to be moved out of the way for bathroom breaks. It covers his incision site perfectly and is easy to get on and off. I like it much better than the one that came from the vet for more $$!

I had high hopes for this product but it was very difficult to use on a long haired dog that just was neutered. Trying to snap the small snaps while the dog is trying desperately to lick his incision is very different from the calm dog shown in the demo video.

Great size guide!

This worked out great for my dog who gets hot spots and we need to cover him up at times. Especially a nice option when we give our dog a break from the cone. Sizing

This worked out great for my dog who gets hot spots and we need to cover him up at times. Especially a nice option when we give our dog a break from the cone. Sizing was great. My dog's length from neck to tail is 23"/24” and I ordered a X-Large. He is slim, 50lbs. It was roomy enough.

Surgery protection

It was easy to put on and take off. Protected the area where the stitches were. Had snaps on the back so you could open it up for potty breaks without take everything

Pocket on the inside for drainage bandages

this is a great idea for pot op care of dogs. Last abdominal surgeries, there was incision drainage and was constantly trying to find ways to hold dressings on

this is a great idea for pot op care of dogs. Last abdominal surgeries, there was incision drainage and was constantly trying to find ways to hold dressings on. This would have worked slick except this surgery, the incision didn’t drain and needed to be open to air. We didn’t need to put it on the dog but glad we had it, in case of the previous scenario. A reasonable price for peace of mind.

Was a lifesaver

My puppy got fixed and this was such a comfy recovery suit while he healed. I bought 2 and rotated them for washing.

So much better than the cone!

My boy was comfortable wearing the suit. It is very soft and flexible. We won't be going back to the cone!

So much easier for the dog

Brilliant snap placement to get this out of the way for potty breaks. And no banging into anything with a cone. I love this so much, what a terrific post surgery
