, 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.

Works, Good Value, you need to fiddle with it
Large Dog, Shiloh Shephard. 29 inches at the shoulder 125 lbs. Very powerful breed. He will brace the plastic hoods against a wall, cage, or furniture and try to tear them off. Thin ones tear, the heavy plastic ones move or damage what they are propped against. 6 months total off and on use over discovery and surgery to remove an infected TPLO plate.The XX large is long for him, the bottom of the sock is easy to roll up a bit. I spray bitters on the cloth before putting it on. I just bought a second one as a spare for changing.One of the tie strings did come off, had to sew it back on. For the price and getting something big enough to fit the dog – it isn’t a big deal.I attach the string that goes around the neck to the dog collar. If a dog just had TPLO surgery and you have a carrying/support harness, you could probably hang the “sock” from the harness to cut down how often the dog needs to wear the cone. .You do need to keep an eye on it, but its less hassle than a cone.

Does the job for the most part
I have a 9-pound (aka super tiny) Bichon Frise and I bought this to cover her hind leg incision that she would not stop licking. I’m not sure how to rate this product because it’s doing the job but not without faults. The pant fits her leg perfectly, but I have to tie the waist tie tight otherwise she will sneak her nose through and lick her incision from the inside. The ties should be longer and made of a softer material; the ties barely wrap around her waist and neck, and they rub on her to the point where she starts losing hair where the knot is. I tie them as loose as possible to be functional and rotate the place where I knot them to minimize this. I also don’t want to choke her, either. She still tries to lick and bite her incision through the pant leg, which has permanently stained it (it won’t wash clean no matter what I try), but at least she is healing well. Overall, I’m glad I bought it even if my dog is not happy with it 🙂

Awesome but not super durable
My lab had surgery on her leg, and we’ve had the worst time keeping her from messing with the incision. After a week of constantly staying after her, and her chewing it open (in the middle of the night WITH the cone of shame on!)..we realized we needed more. Thankfully we found this and it’s been a godsend. Since putting this on, she hasn’t messed with it once. We’ve been able to sleep without worrying about her getting at it and we’ve even been able to take the cone off. She’s a big lab (110+ lbs), and was at the highest end of the scale for the XXL…but thankfully it stretched a bit and ended up working quite well. The leg material is soft and stretchy, has absorbed some of the discharge. Overall, we are very pleased and grateful for this!!Update: we’ve had this a week, and the fabric has torn. Granted, I have a large dog but it’s just not very durable. It’s a soft jersey fabric (understable), which is nice but it tore so easy and now it is twisting and falling off my lab. I’m disappointed, it started off so great.

Perfect for my dog’s TPLO recovery
This sleeve is really great for my dog’s recovery from his TPLO surgery. I ordered the XL and he’s a large 73lb lab, Irish setter, poodle mix. He has a lean build. (Picture of full body included for body type reference). The breathable and loose fitting cotton material is great for incision protection. The material also will easily show a wet spot if the your dog starts licking the area to let you know if you need to remove it and throw it in the dryer to keep incision area dry. The ties are not anything that will withstand much handling and they fray but I tied a knot at the end of each and that has prevented any further fraying. I’d keep a dollar store sewing kit on hand just in case. The cost for hospital gown material and how not super durable it is, is remarkably overpriced but honestly this is exactly what I needed to keep my dog’s incision dry and covered so that makes up for it. I don’t think this will fit a wide range of body types but for a lean build and proportional height it will do the trick. There are other length options on the brand’s website. Would recommend for the right build.

Perfect fit and stayed on overnight!
My dog is 24 inches high at the hip and I ordered a an XLThe sleeve fit perfectly on my standard poodle! She had leg surgery and her incision is about 5 inches long, plus she has a very long neck so I was worried she would reach it even with a cone. My vet was very excited to hear that I had purchased this! It was very easy to put on, she adjusted to it in less than a minute. It’s very comfortable for her, it’s soft and breathable. The rigidity in the reflective strip helps it stay in place over the entire upper leg and hip and not move around. It does not prevent her from going potty, and it would not interfere with a male dog either. She wore it all night next to me in bed and had no issues, she wiggles and rolls in her sleep and this sleeve did not move at all. She can jump in it (she’s not supposed to but she did a few times) no problem. The band at the lower leg is very stretchy but also soft and does not dig in at all, it was very easy to slip her paw through.I tied it to her collar and I left a little slack because it can pull when she turns. She’s a very young and flexible dog though, so ymmv.The photo I included was before I tightened the straps, it was just a fit check and I will add updated photos if possible. I am trying not to have her stand too much.

Does not stay on
Our dog Katie had major cancer surgery on her back leg. The surgeon had to close the wound with a piece of her stomach skin. She has nipples on her leg. The surgeon recommended this so we ordered it from Amazon to have it ready. The surgeon put it on. By the time we got her to the car it came down. We re-put it on. The next morning it was completely down around her ankle. I secured the back strap with an Ace Bandage with Velcro closures at both ends, wrapping it away from the wound. It seems to be working.
