Questions & Answers

2 Customer Questions

How do you know what size to order?

Answer by Chewy • Aug 23, 2023
To choose the correct size, measure your dog's back length (from the base of the neck to the base of the tail) and chest circumference (around the body, behind the front legs) and compare with the size chart. Approximate weight can vary based on breed. We recommend using a fabric measuring tape if you have one, which is easiest to get an accurate measurement. If your dog is between sizes, we recommend opting for the bigger. You don’t want your BellyGuard to be too snug on a healing incision or on irritated skin. Plus, two layers of snaps make for an adjustable, customizable fit.

Do you have to pull the tail through a hole like some diapers, or does it just snap on each side of the tail?

Answer by Chewy • Aug 14, 2025
This recovery suit has snaps in the back that snap around your pup's tail.

This shirt was really nice quality, very easy to open for potty breaks. It seemed to keep her from noticing her incision, and was much easier than a cone. There were 2-3 days when the healing process was super itchy. Those couple of days she needed antihistamines and extra supervision to keep her from biting herself through the shirt, so I would definitely say don't trust it 100%. It did make two weeka of recovery much easier though! Large was perfect for my German shepherd girl. XL was much, much bigger and seemed like it would comfortably fit giant breeds. We kept both so we could alternate washing one each day. (Photo shows XL)

Very grateful for this foam collar after our neutering. We also paired this with a belly guard surgical suit to help avoid any licking from our other dog. When our other dog got neutered it was a complete nightmare, but thankfully this time around everything is going really well. While I'm at home and he's in the same room as me. I allow him to wear the collar so he doesn't have to bang around the house. I think he is going to miss wearing this because his not from anywhere attitude will be disrupted.

Absolutely the best thing we could have purchased! Ordered 4 so we could swap and wash daily! Puppy had heart surgery that went through her ribs leaving a pretty good stitch sight on her side. This completely covers her leg scratching. Plus the comfurt cone. Boom boom. Highly recommend!

I ordered this as an extra for my Frenchie after his neutering. The size was correct, but it does not stay in place because a tail is needed to help hold it in place. His legs disappeared into it causing issues. I would not recommend it for French Bulldogs or any dog without a tail.

Our golden retriever had to have emergency surgery for a foreign body in his intestine. We were recommended this onesie instead of the normal cone. It's easy on easy off. There is a button on the chest to make it easy for potty breaks, if you don't want to take it off every time. Highly recommend! He weighs 60 lbs and we got him an XL. Plenty of room on both ends.

Our vet recommended this recovery suit after surgery to remove a mass in the groin area. It’s very well designed with the snaps make it easy for potty breaks. The only minor complaint I would have is that it seems to stretch out a little bit and is a little droopy. But would definitely recommend it. It’s kept my dog out of the cone of shame.

Comfortable and Protective!

We bought the surgical suit, along with the donut, but she really enjoyed the suit. It was wonderful to put on overnight to make sure she didn’t lick at her incision!

We bought the surgical suit, along with the donut, but she really enjoyed the suit. It was wonderful to put on overnight to make sure she didn’t lick at her incision! She was also able to get around well, up and down stairs and outside. Highly recommend!

This worked great as a second layer of preventing my pup from licking her belly incision. I used it with an around the neck recovery collar, mainly at night and when I had to leave her alone during the day. Washable which was a bonus.
