Lifesaver after spay surgery
My dog didn’t want to keep her cone on after her surgery and this worked great instead. She never bothered with her stitches at all. It fit great, the hook and loop closure could be a little stronger, but other than that it was perfect. It’s a bit of a hassle to take down for the dog to go to the bathroom, but well worth it to help stitches heal after surgery and not have to wear the “dreaded cone” . Lol And my dog looked super cute in it too! Love it! Highly recommend to help heal after any kind of surgery with stitches on a pets body.

This recovery dog suit was a lifesaver!
Omg! If you have a female dog that is getting spayed or is recovering from abdominal surgery, you should buy one of these “dog onesies” as we called it, lol! Our female dog was recovering from being spayed and she absolutely hated wearing the cone of shame. She couldn’t get comfortable while wearing the rigid plastic cone on her head (first time wearing a cone) and she was miserable. After about the first 45 minutes of wearing the cone we realized we needed to look into other options for our girl to be able to recover comfortably. The vet had mentioned that our dog could wear a body suit instead of a cone, if she would tolerate it. At that time of loading her into the car to leave the vet, we sort of laughed and didn’t pay much attention to it. I mean, who has ever heard of a body suit for a dog? Well, it was not long and we were searching the internet for just such a suit. We felt bad enough that our extremely high energy, young playful pup was dealing with recovery from surgery, and the many restrictions that she would have to accept, temporarily. She is so energetic and playful, always jumping around the house, inside and out, and always with a toy in her mouth. Toys are such an important part of her daily life/ routine , and we had to take them all away for about 14 days. The vet told us we had to remove all toys that would encourage excitement and jumping/ playing , in order for her to completely heal without any complications from stitches coming open. Our dog had to take doggie downers (prescription that made her less active) to help keep her calm and more relaxed. Even still, keeping her calm and quiet/relaxed was very difficult. With her wearing this “doggie onesie” however, she was finally able to fully relax to sleep. She could not get comfortable enough to fully relax while wearing the cone of shame. While wearing the onesie, she could lick the fabric, but not get to her actual stitches. She excepted the strange new concept of wearing dog clothing and never tried to get it off by herself. Maybe part of this is because we constantly made over her and how cute she was in her dog onesie, lol. The material is very soft and stretchy, just like human baby onesies, lol. The Velcro closure is very strong and secure, yet also very easy to undo and refasten.
As you can tell by some of the pics I added to this review, the onesie (Aka dog recovery suit) we purchased did not fit our dog perfectly, because our dog is a mixed breed with a longer body. Our dog is about the size of a full grown Labrador, but taller and longer bodied. Her nickname is stretch, because she the size of a Lab with about 7 inches in length, stretched out in her body. As a result, part of the time her lower neck/ almost shoulder area exceeded past the head opening of the dog suit. Thank goodness for the very stretchy fabric. The dog suit did not fit her perfectly, but it worked and we got through the 2 weeks of recovery. This purchase/item was one of the best things we have bought off Amazon. It did what it was supposed to. It aided in a more comfortable recovery for our dog, not to mention help us to keep our sanity during the process. I highly recommend buying this product if you ever have to get your female dog spayed. Also, I think it might be a good option for female dogs to wear while in heat, to help keep your house cleaner. Could probably work as sort of a dog diaper in that situation.
Note:
When your dog has to go potty and/or poop you really need to undo the Velcro closure and either roll it up and back (on top of their back) and refasten Velcro holding the fabric out of the way , or , remove onesie temporarily and then put back on. You may want to consider purchasing two of these. That way if one gets dirty or yucky you can wash it in washing machine (recommend air drying) and still keep one on your dog while they are in recovery.

Great alternative to a cone
For reference, I purchased a size Large for my 30 lb medium sized shepherd mix (circumference measurements: neck = 17″, chest = 23″), and the fit was great — not too loose, but not too tight.
After my puppy got fixed, he hated the cone and got so depressed wearing it. I purchased this recovery suit for him, and it was night and day. Rolling it up and securing it with the velcro so he could go potty was super quick and easy. He was able to play and run around comfortably in it, whilst also effectively preventing him from licking his stitches. We used it again months later when he was obsessively licking and irritating an infected cut he’d gotten on his backside. Highly recommend.

My dog had major surgery and left her with a giant incision on her tummy. This product deterred her from biting at her incision. We tried many other things such as collars and cones, and she was so depressed when she was wearing those things. Eventually we tried this suit and it worked so well! It really stopped her from biting or licking her incision and she was finally able to heal up properly. When it first arrived I was discouraged because it looked very small and we have a hard time finding things that fit our dog properly. But it’s supposed to be snug, and it actually fit her perfectly just follow the sizing chart that they give you. I highly recommend this product for anybody’s dog that has had a recent surgery.

Quite a big difference between L/XL. The neck and arm holes of the XL are very big but the L is tight. I’m returning the L, kept the XL as it fits better. Overall great idea and the quality of the product is great! And much better than wearing a cone!
