Questions & Answers

3 Customer Questions

Does this work for males and females following both spay and neuter?

Answer by Chewy • Oct 05, 2023
This Recovery Apparel can be worn by male and female dogs and is suitable for use after spaying and neutering.

How to measure for sizes?

Answer by Chewy • Oct 10, 2024
Measuring your pet's length and chest circumference is the best way to gauge which size BellyGuard will be best for them. We recommend using a fabric measuring tape if you have one, which is easiest to get an accurate measurement. To measure chest girth, measure around the body behind the front legs. To measure length, measure from the base of the neck to the base of the tail. 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.

Will this work on a cat?

Answer by Chewy • Jun 03, 2025
This suit is not recommended for cats.

Best surgical recovery

I bought 2 of these recovery onesies for my 7 month old Morkie in anticipation of her spay surgery. I remembered how difficult it was for my last female dog, 13 yrs ago when she was spayed. Having to wear an e collar (a\k\a a "cone of shame") which interfered with her eating food and drinking water among other things. These onsies eliminate the need for a collar to prevent the dog from licking, biting or scratching at the surgical site. Wearing this suit made my puppys recovery smooth as silk. She never once paid any undue attention to the surgical site and it healed up beautifully! Plus she looked so darn cute livin' the Ruff Life!! I highly recommend the use of this post surgery suit.

Absolutely the BEST Recovery Suit

I bought three different suits to have on hand for my puppy’s recovery from being spayed. This is definitely the best for the following reasons: fit the best; easiest to get on and off and easy to adapt to taking her out to pee; the most comfortable for her to wear, easy to machine wash and quick to dry (hang to dry). I wish I had bought at least two of these. The others were difficult to get on/off and one had no way to allow access for the dog to pee. One had Velcro which just gets stuck on every thing. The quality of this for the price was way better than the others which were both more expensive.

Great for after getting our pup spayed

Loved this onesie for our pup. It was nice being able to snap her shirt up near the collar for quick potty use. Wish we ordered more than one! The neck is a bit

Loved this onesie for our pup. It was nice being able to snap her shirt up near the collar for quick potty use. Wish we ordered more than one! The neck is a bit tight and the arms were a tad loose on our girl but she didn’t complain.

What a great idea

After I got my new girl spayed I couldn't leave the nasty hard plastic cone on my baby. It was torture for her. I should have ordered this onsie for her before,

After I got my new girl spayed I couldn't leave the nasty hard plastic cone on my baby. It was torture for her. I should have ordered this onsie for her before, but I thought the Vet would have gotten a softer version of a cone. I was happy to find a soft cozy version of this cover up pj for her . It covers the scar well. She still trys to chew through it, but I also wrapped a small blanket around her to prevent licking through it. We go to the Vet tomorrow for our after surgery visit to get staples out. I am glad I purchased two, one to wear and a change of one to replace. Good fabric with sturdy snaps for opening to allow her to do her business. Chewy always has the answer ! I just recommend to order before you need it to allow time to deliver. Sizing is tricky. Hers fits but could have been shorter. Maybe a thicker fabric on tummy part would be helpful, but overall a good item to have for surgery needs. As it is cold now, I will use it to keep her warm in the cold weather too !

No more Cone removal issues!

This fit my tiny, 4lb Pomeranian pretty good after her spay. She has so much fur, that it was a tad tight, but not overly so. She's the black one in the photo

This fit my tiny, 4lb Pomeranian pretty good after her spay. She has so much fur, that it was a tad tight, but not overly so. She's the black one in the photo. (the other Pom is 12 lbs and wearing a small) The biggest thing is, no more cone of shame! She kept removing the cone, as the smallest one was still too big for her. And she wouldn't eat, drink, MOVE, unless we took the cone off! Once I put this on her, she immediately layed down and curled up and slept for hours! She was so exhausted from the cone and just standing there! She then woke up and drank forever, ate heartily, and then went out for potty. YAY!!!

Nice quality garment

I bought this prior to a surgery that never happened so I can’t comment on how well it worked. However it looks like it would be more comfortable than the cone

Surgery tshirt

The outfit covered her incision nicely. It is a very soft fabric. She never tried to lick or pull her sutures. It was also very easy to put on.

The dual opening/closure

This suit prevented Yoshi from getting to his stitches. Better than the cone. Easy to flip up and snap when he needed to relieve himself.

Easy snaps and good sizing

Perfect fit for my 11lb Chi mix that is leggy and tall. He did not mess with the snaps at all and potty breaks were easy. Get two so you can wash them and control

I wish I knew about these surgery suits years ago. My dog had no problem wearing it and not one time picked at it or anywhere near her horrific wound. This was the best and so easy to unsnap and roll up for potty time. She can poop in it just needs to unsnap to pee. Buy two.
