SUITICAL Dog Recovery Suit
Size - LARGE
NEW and UNUSED Surgical Recovery Suit for Dogs.
Photos show the actual LARGE size suit up for sale.
Photos that show the blue area is where a gauze pad/absorbant pad would be inserted through an opening.
(Also included is a photo of my Golden Retriever wearing an X-Large size suit after being neutered. He did great in it! Washed it and put it away for any future injury or surgery.)
I purchased a large and an X-large for my Golden Retriever 70 lb male. I did not see the sizing chart when I ordered it. Otherwise, I would have known that the XL is what he needed for his 70 lb body.
So I am selling the LARGE Recovery Suit. It was only tried on my dog before his neutering surgery to see if it fit - he never wore this one. (So you will find a stray golden hair on it.)
According to the sizing chart the large size that I am selling should fit Labradors, Labradoodles, Boxers, and Appenzellers.

Stretch Fit
Allow your pooch to heal in comfort and dignity with the Suitical Recovery Suit for Dogs. A dog-preferred alternative to the dreaded cone of shame, this new approach comes with a host of perks. While traditional cones restrict normal movement and distract their sense of direction, the recovery suit solves all these problems and then some. Acting as a second skin, it allows your dog to go about his normal routine—all the while keeping the wound clean, dry and protected. All this equals less stress, a faster recovery and a happier pet. Just ask yourself, would you want to wear a cone?
• Comfortable, stress-reducing alternative to the traditional cone is recommended by vets.
• Snug fit with rear fastening prevents the pet from wiggling out; can be pulled back for potty breaks.
• Covered areas are kept clean and dry, which prevents bacteria and dirt from causing an infection.
• Made from a non-toxic, breathable, 4-way stretch fabric that is machine washable for reuse.
• Allows air to circulate around the wound for healing, with built-in pockets for gauze pads.
Large Dogs: With large dogs (long legs) it is easier to insert one front leg followed by the head and then the other leg into the provided openings. The suit should then be pulled back as far as possible over your pet’s body. The two straps on the belly side are secured by threading them between the rear legs and then connecting the snaps to the upper section near the base of the tail. Make sure that there is enough room for tail movement.
It is comfortable, hygienic and can be washed. Therefore it can be re-used.
From the SUITICAL manufacture’s site:
Faster and comfortable recovery for your loyal friend. Imagine this: your loyal friend is recovering from skin conditions, hot spots or wounds (first aid, after being spayed, neutered or other surgical procedures). This can be quite stressful already. It would not benefit your pet if you increase that discomfort and stress level even further by restricting their ability to move, eat or drink normally. This is what happens when you use a ‘cone of shame’ (the old fashioned Elizabethan collar).
Hearing clearly is very important for pets. Amplifying the sounds by using a cone can distract their sense of direction and could cause them to bump into something (for example your valuable furniture, vases, etc.).
The best way
Here at Suitical, we believe it is better to cover the problem area instead of restricting the head to prevents dogs and cats from getting to their surgical sutures, wounds, hot spots or skin problems.
Children friendly
Pets are protected from themselves as well as from other animals/children.
Easy to use, Patented Designs
Suitical products acts as a second skin, allowing pets to enjoy their day with little anxiety or disruption. The snug fit combined with the easy to use rear fastening, prevents the pet from wiggling out of the suit or sleeve. The breathable fabric enables air to circulate around the wound for healing, and it fully covers the affected areas to prevent biting and scratching. Covered areas are also kept dry and clean, preventing bacteria and dirt from causing infection. Cats are able to use the litter box as they need without the removal of the suit. The dogs suit can be easily pulled back and fastened to allow for using the bathroom when nature calls
.
Post operative
The Recovery Suit reduces stress, fear and uncertainty after an operation when compared to a Elizabethan collar. The suit will avert your dog or cat touching the wound easily. As it is not a tight fit around the belly – air is able to circulate around the wound serving to keep the area dry. The interior of the Suit is light blue ensuring that any discharge of fluids from the wound can be observed. When the wound leaks, a porous sheet or incontinence pad can be inserted inside the Suit or between the double layers on the belly. Prior to a surgical procedure, it is a common practice to shave the surgical site, couple this with an anaesthetic a fall in core body temperature can ensue. The use of the Suit after the operation will keep your pet warm.
Skin diseases
In cases of skin disease where protection is required the suit will prevent possible damage to the skin caused by scratching or biting.
In season and incontinence
The Suit will reduce the risk of blood or urine stains in your house. In contrast to standard in season shorts it is very difficult for your pet to wriggle out of the shirt. Making this a more hygienic option for you and your pet!
The interior at the belly is light blue ensuring that any discharge of fluid from the wound can be observed. When the wound leaks, a sanitary towel or a pants liner can be inserted inside of the suit or between the double layers on the belly.
It is easy to use with the press buttons near the base of the tail to allow your dog to be taken for a walk without removal of the shirt.
