Medical Pet Shirt for dogs - Benefits

The Medical Pet Shirt will effectively protect your dog's wounds and bandages, while allowing it to move freely.

Medical Pet Shirt for dogs is like a coverall. It is also less stressful for your dog than wearing a plastic protective cone. The Medical Pet Shirt vest is open along the entire backside, making it easy to put onto your dog, due to the snap buttons located in the tail area. This makes the Medical Pet Shirt easy to use when a female dog is in heat or if your dog suffers from incontinence, as it can hold a sanitary pad. The Medical Pet Shirt for dogs is comfortable, hygienic and machine-washable at 30° Celsius.

Medical Pet Shirt - Positioning on your dog

For small dogs with short legs, start by pulling the vest over your dog's head, then put each leg into the appropriate hole. For large dogs with long legs, it is easier to put one front leg into the appropriate hole, then the head, and then the other front leg. Afterwards, position the vest along the dog's back and pull it towards the dog's hindquarters. This way, you can attach the two sides - the part that goes under the belly and the part that goes onto the dog's back - between the dog's hind legs. Make sure you leave enough space for the dog's tail.

When should I use the Medical Pet Shirt?

Stress: The Medical Pet Shirt reduces stress and anxiety, particularly after a traumatic event such as surgery.
Cold temperatures: If your dog has been shaved for surgery or has short hair, the Medical Pet Shirt will provide protection against the cold and allow your dog to maintain its optimum body temperature.
Protecting bandages: The Medical Pet Shirt is perfect to protect a wound under a bandage and keep it dry, all while allowing air to circulate around it properly.
Skin issues: The Medical Pet Shirt provides protection against skin problems that cause your dog to scratch, such as hot spotsoreczema.

Direct-Vetrecommends

The first time you use the Medical Pet Shirt, we recommend closely watching your pet's behaviour. Sometimes, you may have to adjust the vest. We recommend staying with your pet when you first put the vest on, and to play with your dog and distract it, so that it can slowly get used to the vest.

I Bought this vest for my German Shepherd who had just been sterilized.. it was a great comfort to her..
She had no need for the lampshade around her neck, her wound was so we'll protected , she had no problems toileting and I was so happy to that as she wore the vest she was less stressed our local vet thought they were brilliant and asked where it was purchased
I infact bought a second one as a spare..
I highly recommend this product especially if you're animal is stressed due to noise pollution fireworks thunderstorms.
