## Overview

After Surgery Wear Hip and Thigh Wound Protective Sleeve is a vet-recommended, breathable, and hypoallergenic recovery solution for small dogs post-orthopedic surgery. Made from 100% organic cotton with adjustable dual-string ties, it offers a secure, comfortable fit that promotes healthy incision healing while allowing mobility. Ideal as a bandage protector or a cone alternative, this washable sleeve reduces the hassle of frequent bandage changes and supports your dog's active recovery.

## Description

E-Collar alternative interchangeable for both legs designed for dogs after orthopaedic recoveries, such as patella luxation, TPLO, and cruciate repair. Also helps to protect the area from hot spot irritation. Can be used along with a full bandage to protect it from getting dirty, which means less bandage changing needed, or it could be used instead of the full bandage during the end of the healing process to keep it protected and allow airflow to promote healthy incision healing.

Review: Good alternative to 'cone of shame' but comes with some caveats - My 15 lb Silky Terrier tore his CCL and was sent home with the clear plastic cone. Like many other reviewers, he would not tolerate the cone, at all. We tried the inflatable collar and found he tolerated it but it didn't extend past his snout. He could still get to his stitches but offered some 'resistance' to licking. We were worn out and about give up hope when we came across this protective sleeve. We ordered the small-short sleeve, and the fit was just right. Like others, we used his soft harness to attach the neck ties. Tying around his neck or collar was not an option due to his narrow wind pipe. There is some initial adjustment required for the neck and hip ties to make sure it doesn't gap open when sitting or isn't too tight when laying down. You do have to keep adjusting the ties as they tend to loosen up when stretched or from activity. My Caveat: this should not be viewed as a replacement for the cone if your dog really wants to lick their incision. If motivated, they'll probably find a way to lick around the inside section of the sleeve or remove it all together. As an extra precaution, we placed a large band aid on the outside of the sleeve directly over his wound, and keeps the sleeve dry from any saliva. The sleeve has greatly discourage licking, but when he's not in our sight, we put the inflatable collar on as an extra precaution. Overall, pleased with the performance and fit. If you dog is closely monitored, this provides an effective and dog friendly way to reduce stress and lesson the chance of infection or re injury. As some have mentioned, I would like to see an option where both legs are covered in a pants or suit type style. This would prevent the risk of falling off or gaping. FYI, a recovery suit is available on desertcart, search for Buckwheat Recovery Wear for Dogs.
Review: **DO NOT PURCHASE** Doesn't fit, and breaks within two days **DO NOT PURCHASE** - I used the measuring chart exactly as directed. My dog was exactly in the middle of size medium. Ordered a medium. It was WAY to big. Returned and immediately ordered a small. Have not received a refund for the first one yet after a week. Received the small, fit well, (should be way too small according to the size chart). Within two days the straps broke and it fell off. Terrible product, Terrible service, Terrible quality, Terrible information

### ⭐⭐⭐ It was kind of wonky
*by D***O on October 4, 2024*

We tried it on our old poodle and she always wiggled out of it. We tried 50 ways of tying it on her. Maybe good for a sedated dog but not an active one.
