Suitical Recovery Suit for Dogs

Great for dogs post-neuter, or spay. Easy to put on and easy to roll up and use the under belly snap to fasten for potty breaks. Bought the medium based off size chart and a few other reviews and I would say it’s true to size. My dog was not fond of other suits having a tail hole, so this was a much better option since the snaps go around the tail.There are four sets of snaps which can add adjustability if needed or added strength if needed. The material is extremely breathable, soft and stretchy. Super happy I ended up purchasing and thankful for Chewy’s quick delivery. I was not as prepared as I thought and needed this in a hurry. My pup has not minded wearing it one bit, although he doesn Great for dogs post-neuter, or spay. Easy to put on and easy to roll up and use the under belly snap to fasten for potty breaks.

I ordered this suit as an alternative to diapers for my 6mo, old English bulldog during her heat cycle. I measured her length according to the instructions. She fell into the size Small category. While the length of this suit fits her wonderfully, the chest of this suit is pretty tight. I believe if I were to size up, the length would be too big on her. So far she likes the suit, since she has a docked tail the diapers would slide off always and she would be bothered by them. In order to prevent this suit from getting soiled, I buy lady pads from the dollar store stick them where they are needed and I am good to go. So far we are happy with this suit, I will def.

I was worried that our chow chow puppy would get too hot in this after her spay. We tried the cone first, and it seemed like she was having trouble breathing in it when she fell asleep, as her neck was so stiff. We put on the suit and surprisingly she loved it! It’s super easy to unbutton the pants for potty, although we never used the little strap to hold up the bottom, just snapped them to each other around her belly for potty. My only complaint is the material is really thin, and she ripped 4 holes in it from scratching. I just sewed the holes up and you can’t tell. Also, she wears a Medium and she is 35 pounds. I think she looks pretty silly/adorable in it too!

Honestly I've heard people swear by these, the reviews all looked great, but it didn't last more than a day. I ordered the right size according to their chart for my 75 lb German Shepherd but it was still a little loose fitting. I figured it was fine, it gave her skin room to breathe, she'd be alright. But within just an hour she figured out how to move the fabric to the side with her nose and start licking at herself again. Unless you do a full body (all legs covered too kind of suit) this isn't going to do anything. My vet was the one who suggested we use a folded towel wrapped around her neck to use like a donut/ in place of a cone since she completely full on panics in a cone and it worked Honestly I've heard people swear by these, the reviews all looked great, but it didn't last more than a day.

It's free and there are plenty of youtube tutorials on how to do it. She wasn't able to bend enough to lick her stomach. Honestly if my husband hadn't already tossed the packaging for the suit I would've returned it the next day. … more

This might be the greatest thing since sliced bread (or cheese, which my dog likes much more). My puppy is 6 months old and just had her spay surgery last week. She left the vet with the traditional cone and hated every minute of wearing it. She either spent all of her energy trying to get it off her head or refused to even walk while it was on. The Suitical is a godsend. She doesn't seem to mind wearing it and hasn't tried to bite or lick the area of her incision once. It's easy for her to sleep in and eat in. The only downfall is having to pay super close attention as to when the dog has to pee, particularly if the puppy uses pads (as mine does) and goes overnight.

After having my 1 y/o pup neutered,(lab/hound/pit mix; 58 lbs.) I felt instantly terrible that I wasn’t prepared with another option other than the dreaded cone of shame. As such, I spent a few hours searching for a more comfortable/ideal alternative. Upon doing so, I found this recovery suit and another cone made of a more comfortable material (more like the material of a workout mat versus the awful hard plastic). The medium fit my pup perfectly and he looked insanely cute! However, the suit did not outlast or survive his gator-like teeth for more than one hour. I was so disappointed as I did my research and didn’t see any complaints about the material being easy to tear/chew through. I highly After having my 1 y/o pup neutered,(lab/hound/pit mix; 58 lbs.)

I highly recommend this product IF you are not the dog parent of a pup who likes to chew or has a tendency to tear toys and other items up. Would have worked perfectly for my Great Pyrenees/Lab mix as she is very gentle and docile. I would love to see them create a similar product made of a more durable material, as I assume most people are going through the spay/neuter process with their pup when they’re still in the teething/destruction phase of puppy-hood. Shipment was here in like 2 days- so that’s a plus! Just unfortunate we didn’t really benefit from the timely shipping as a result of Bubba’s destructive habits LOL … more

This is a very well made product. My 7# Maltipoo puppy was recently neutered and he could still reach his incision with the cone on. Then I tried puppy diapers and even ace wrapped around the diaper to keep him from licking at his incision. But he is too smart for his own good and succeeded. So I bought this very nice surgical suit to keep the incision covered. High quality and fit him well (I recommend sizing down). Anyway, he is too determined and was able to twist around and chew off 2 of the snaps. So I had to quit using it as I was afraid he would swallow the snaps as he puts everything in his mouth. I doubt most dogs are as persistent as he is so I would still recommend it!

My rescue Zeke who is extremely skittish and traumatized by his past life has done AMAZING post op neuter with his Suitical! He allows me to adjust the snaps for potty breaks and to swap out suits. I believe they have the same therapeutic effect as Thundershirts so dog has that calming hug/squeeze at all times. He has not tried to access his incision yet and we are on day 3. Only negative would be loose around back leg holes and they could add an extra row of snaps to take up the slack to keep pup away from incision. He’s healing beautifully with no bandage or cleaning of incision. My female Shiloh shepherd however WILL require a soft ecollar AND a suitical because she’s very flexible and My rescue Zeke who is extremely skittish and traumatized by his past life has done AMAZING post op neuter with his Suitical!

We bought the XS for our 10lb cockapoo after her spay surgery and it fit her perfectly! The snaps are great above the tail, and are adjustable depending if you want them on a looser fit. We are using this in combination with the cone, as she has lots of energy and the cone slows her down, but the suit is really the MVP in keeping her from scratching or licking her tummy. I only wish this came with a little cotton sleeve or something to cover her shaved leg, we’ve been having to dress it daily so she doesn’t lick the area where they put the IV. All in all, an amazing purchase! We got it in two colors so we could wash one and wear one. Love it!!

Because I did not want to wait to return this item that may or may not have fit, I read many reviews relevant to size and ordered an X large and an XX large for my 51 pound German Shepherd. She is 28 inches from the top of her shoulders to the base of her tail and has a 27 inch chest. The X large was a bit too long but did the job and I would not have chosen a smaller size. Chewy asked me to donate the XX large Suitical which I gave to a shelter along with the cone that she no longer needed once the Suitical arrived. What a nice company to do business with.
