Hip and Thigh Wound Protective Sleeve for Dogs. Dog Recovery Sleeve. Recommended by Vets Worldwide (X-Small - Short Sleeve, Gray)

Large Dog, Shiloh Shephard. 29 inches at the shoulder 125 lbs. Very powerful breed. He will brace the plastic hoods against a wall, cage, or furniture and try to tear them off. Thin ones tear, the heavy plastic ones move or damage what they are propped against. 6 months total off and on use over discovery and surgery to remove an infected TPLO plate.The XX large is long for him, the bottom of the sock is easy to roll up a bit. I spray bitters on the cloth before putting it on. I just bought a second one as a spare for changing.One of the tie strings did come off, had to sew it back on. For the price and getting something big enough to fit the dog - it isn't a big deal.I attach the string that goes around the neck to the dog collar. If a dog just had TPLO surgery and you have a carrying/support harness, you could probably hang the "sock" from the harness to cut down how often the dog needs to wear the cone. .You do need to keep an eye on it, but its less hassle than a cone.

Not worth it, doesn't work. This is garbage. The sleeve did not stay up & the tie around the back hips kept sliding off. The strap connected to back piece that runs up to neck & ties around neck choked my dog when she sat or laid down. Threw it away.

My lab had surgery on her leg, and we've had the worst time keeping her from messing with the incision. After a week of constantly staying after her, and her chewing it open (in the middle of the night WITH the cone of shame on!)..we realized we needed more. Thankfully we found this and it's been a godsend. Since putting this on, she hasn't messed with it once. We've been able to sleep without worrying about her getting at it and we've even been able to take the cone off. She's a big lab (110+ lbs), and was at the highest end of the scale for the XXL...but thankfully it stretched a bit and ended up working quite well. The leg material is soft and stretchy, has absorbed some of the discharge. Overall, we are very pleased and grateful for this!!Update: we've had this a week, and the fabric has torn. Granted, I have a large dog but it's just not very durable. It's a soft jersey fabric (understable), which is nice but it tore so easy and now it is twisting and falling off my lab. I'm disappointed, it started off so great.

I purchased the size L for my 52 pound lab/shepherd mix after her 2nd TPLO. She hated the cone so trying this as an alternative this time. She’s almost 10 and loves going on long walks, but isn’t super high energy. So far this sleeve has worked well but I’m not sure how it will do when she starts to become more mobile. The straps don’t really hold the sleeve tightly in place. I would not trust it if I had to leave her unsupervised. I think I will need to use the neck collar at night. Overall though this has been a good purchase to use for the first couple of days.

Bought after our pup had a TPLO. Slips off and gets twisted if they lay or move really at all.. So not good for sleeping, but while awake, it's a good alternative to the Elizabethan collar to allow for some non " cone of shame" time lol . the Design has the sleeve secured around their neck with " hospital gown" like ties and I really didn't like that. Too easy to get something like that caught on something and they choke themselves and if you tight it tight enough to actually secure the sleeve so it's stable then it feels too tight around their neck.

This sleeve is really great for my dog’s recovery from his TPLO surgery. I ordered the XL and he’s a large 73lb lab, Irish setter, poodle mix. He has a lean build. (Picture of full body included for body type reference). The breathable and loose fitting cotton material is great for incision protection. The material also will easily show a wet spot if the your dog starts licking the area to let you know if you need to remove it and throw it in the dryer to keep incision area dry. The ties are not anything that will withstand much handling and they fray but I tied a knot at the end of each and that has prevented any further fraying. I’d keep a dollar store sewing kit on hand just in case. The cost for hospital gown material and how not super durable it is, is remarkably overpriced but honestly this is exactly what I needed to keep my dog’s incision dry and covered so that makes up for it. I don’t think this will fit a wide range of body types but for a lean build and proportional height it will do the trick. There are other length options on the brand’s website. Would recommend for the right build.

i ordered this for my 80 pound German Sheppard after he had TPLO surgery for his torn CCL, it didnt stay on well, and even when we fastened it 10 ways to his harness he still got it off without even trying, he moved to much in his sleep and it just sagged off.
