MPS Medical Pet Shirt Dog, Surgery Recovery Suit, Blue, Medium +

...or even an inflatable collar. I used this after my dog was neutered. I must admit I had concerns that he would try to scratch or bite his stitches through it, but he hasn't showed the slightest interest in doing so. He is so much more comfortable than he would be in a cone and his wound has healed beautifully, being fully protected under the suit. So easy to undo and just roll up at the back for trips to the garden. Will definitely be keeping in case he ever needs it in future (though of course hoping not). Great to get it on Amazon for about £10 cheaper than the vets too. Washed a couple of times and it came up beautifully. Re sizing, Teddy is a 11.4kg Tibetan Terrier, back length 48cm and the small size fitted perfectly.

Perfect for my little Yorkie; she had back surgery and this product was excellent at helping her heal. Fits snugly (bear in mind there are various sizes) and my puppy was a bit reluctant to wear it but we persisted. Poppers help keep it secure but weren't necessary for our pup and she didn't really mind wearing it. It was quite lightweight and is pretty smart looking too - even better was the hole for a lead so we could still take her for a walk. All in all, a good product, well made and great quality too - but there are cheaper alternatives on the market.

I don't often bother to write reviews but felt compelled to write about this product. It's brilliant! I had my dog spayed and she wouldn't leave the wound alone. My previous dogs have never bothered with their spay wound so much as this one! Had to wear the 'cone of shame' permanently, the minute it was removed she'd be straight round worrying the area. Despite my constant vigilance she got an infection in it and was back on antibiotics. To compound the problem my older dog hated her in it as she crashed and bashed about and I had to separate and watch them constantly. Tried making something similar from a Tshirt but she still managed to get at the wound! Then I spotted the Medical Pet Shirt....what a brilliant product! Really well designed, good quality material and poppers look as if they'll last. Easy to un-pop for toilet trips. Sizing chart was spot on (a medium fitted my female border collie perfectly) and two sets of poppers to make a further adjustment. Slightly looser underneath so air can still get at the wound to heal it. Only a couple of things I'd say; your dog has to be happy with you pulling it over it's head and lifting and putting legs through as it's a snug fit. My dog's very biddable so didn't mind. Also I still use the cone at night because I'm sure if she was determined enough without supervision she could chew through the material, although it's remarkable when she's wearing it she has shown no signs of bothering the area at all! Peace restored in the household, the bruises on the backs of my legs are disappearing (from being bashed with the cone!) my dog is so much happier AND the wound is healing fast! Just wish I'd had it from the start when she came back from the vet.

Ok - lovely make and fit for a stocky dog as this stretches but still holds firm. It is a good quality jersey t-shirt fabric which washes lovely. Its very nicely sewn and good quality stitching so doesnt snag or split with use. For surgery that you have cover over, it works fine. Also surgical areas that are slightly open and weeping this fabric doesnt stick to the wound so better than anything in that regard. However....... while it fastens great and doesnt ride up (which is also a really good bonus for long term use), that does mean peeing is a real issue if the dog doesnt give much warning. With a dog that gives warning and you can pop it open easy then great. However with a dog thats had intensive surgery (such as ours who had spinal surgery) where you have a lot going on and you need support, using support over the top of this and then struggling to pop open buttons and leave room for urination is a bit tricky. For that reason and that there could have been a hole here for the male dog anatomy, i've taken a star off, but nonetheless a good quality product for other injury sites you dont want the dog to try and scratch or nibble at, and far better than a plastic cone!

An excellent item. My vet used one on my dog after an operation. I brought another so It could be washed. Brilliant product. A real lifesaver

these h been a absolute necessity and very useful piece of kit for both our dogs this last year. easy to fit on to both the rather larger sized dog with now complaints from either of them. easy to clean and look great.

Bought this in an emergency when it looked like my dog was going to need surgery on her bladder. Thankfully this hasn't now happened but I've been really pleased with the product all the same and will be keeping it for any future issues. It's good quality and would be perfect for any surgery on the belly, back or rear end. Do be aware that you have to undo the poppers when you let your dog out to the loo/take them for a walk but as you would be watching your dog at the time it's not in my view a problem. When my dog was spayed a year ago she went crazy with the cone of shame so I made her some tops which were successful but not anywhere near as good as this because she got good at nuzzling the tops up so she could reach her wound on her belly. With this it's all secure and even if she managed to undo a popper or two because it's fastened with a total of 8 poppers I think I would notice before she got too far. A word of warning however, measure your dog before buying and don't rely on the description of breeds. The description (which is provided by the medical pet shirt website and not Amazon) states that for a cocker spaniel (which is my dog) I should have purchased small +. My dog was at the vets at the time but I measured using her outdoor coat and realised that actually she would be better in a small. It does say right at the bottom that you should go down a size if between sizes but in my view this should be highlighted much more. Although it's a bit of a squeeze to get her legs in at first, the rest of the body is perfect and if I had bought a bigger size it would have been like a bin bag. It's also worth noting that this isn't going to work if your dog has had surgery on their tail or legs as it only covers the body. It is clear in the description but, as with the issue of having to undo the poppers to go to the loo, I've seen some bad reviews about this too.

Bought these when my dog got surgery. She was very comfortable in them, they were easy to put on and off and washed well. Would recommend buying two but the sizing chart is accurate.
