Can Be Used For Dogs In Heat
If you have an un-spayed female, things get a little messy during their heat cycle.
Most owners resort to using dog diapers, but they tend to bunch and are uncomfortable for your dog.
A surgical suit can be worn instead. Simply place a sanitary pad on the inside to prevent any blood stains from getting on your floors.
Protects when in heat or incontinence
The Recovery Suit® reduces the risk of blood or urine stains in your house. In the event of blood or fluid loss, a sanitary towel can be applied on the inside of the suit or between the double layer. In contrast to standard in season shorts it is very difficult for your pet to wriggle out of the Suit. Making this a safe and hygienic alternative for in season shorts!
Since the Recovery Suit® covers the entire torso, accidental breeding could be avoided. Moreover, the Suit® helps to reduce weaning by covering the bitch’ nipples. Since the Suit® covers the female abdominal area, it can be unsnapped for set feeding times for puppies.
Dogs and cats lose a lot of hair throughout the seasons, especially on the torso since this area contains the largest amount of hair. The Recovery Suit® covers the entire torso, catching hairs in the shirt. Make sure to groom your pet regularly and to remove hair from the Recovery Suit® daily.

There are loops around the neck on the inside of the Suit. The collar of your dog can be pulled through these loops and attached. It makes it even more difficult for your dog to squeeze out of the Recovery Suit®.
A soft, elastic and protective stretch band around the front and hind legs and around the tail ensures that the Recovery Suit® does not rub and cut into the legs and tail of the dog. Dogs can move and heal in complete freedom. However, it is important to make sure that your dog is fitted with the right size, and to make sure that the shirt is not too tight.
For animals where the surgical area and/or dermatological problem runs between the shoulder blades towards the neck, it is desirable for this area to be protected as well. Therefore, the Recovery Suit® is equipped with a longer, soft, elastic neck protective collar.
In many cases, the surgical area for the male is very close to the urination area. The suit is completely closed (regardless of gender) to ensure that the entire torso of every physique is protected. In order to be able to walk your dog or check the wound, we have developed a hold-up system. The suit can be rolled up inside and secured to the chest with press studs. For the best protection, the suit must always be closed again after a check or a walk outside. Take a look at the button – TIME FOR A WALK – for more information and a video tutorial.
The interior of the Recovery Suit® is partially light blue so fluid loss can be checked by the veterinarian or owner. In the event of fluid loss, a sanitary towel can be applied on the inside of the suit or between the double layer. If necessary, an ice pack can also be inserted between the double layer.
How long should a dog wear a Recovery Suit?
In general, dogs may need to wear a cone anywhere from 7-14 days. The cone should only be removed when the site has fully healed and/, or the sutures are removed. Healing time depends on the type of surgery, lesion, suture material, suture absorption time, wound type, age, and other factors.
