Spark Paws Dog Surgery Recovery Suit

Overview

A pull-on recovery suit for dogs sized 3XL (60-80 lbs), built as an alternative to the plastic cone after spay, neuter, or wound care. The dinosaur print polyester-spandex fabric covers the torso to discourage licking at incisions.

Recovery suits work by physically blocking access to a healing area instead of restricting head movement the way a cone does, which tends to suit dogs that fight or knock into things while wearing a cone. Spark Paws sizes this one specifically for large dogs in the 60 to 80 pound range, and the fabric blend is a stretch polyester-spandex meant to move with the dog rather than a rigid shirt. It is not water resistant, so it is a wear indoors, dry off before going out kind of garment.

• 3XL size fits 60-80 lb dogs
• 95% polyester, 5% spandex stretch fabric
• Pull-on closure, no straps or buckles
• Machine wash cold, line dry

Who it's for

Fits owners of large dogs (60-80 lbs) recovering from spay, neuter, or abdominal surgery who need an alternative to a plastic cone. Not suited to owners needing waterproof protection outdoors or a suit for a dog well outside the 3XL weight range.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The suit is 95% polyester and 5% spandex, pulled on rather than fastened with straps, and machine washable on cold with line drying. It's built to cover the abdomen and prevent licking at an incision or wound rather than to protect against weather, since it carries no water resistance rating. Fit accuracy for the 60-80 lb range will depend on individual dog build as much as raw weight.
