Nanaki Dog Wound Care Shirt with Leg Sleeves

Overview

The Nanaki wound care shirt is a post-surgery recovery suit for dogs, with leg sleeves designed to keep pets from licking rear legs and the abdomen after spay surgery or other procedures. The size L version fits dogs weighing 15 to 28 pounds with a 16.1 inch back length.

Instead of a rigid cone, it works by covering the wound site with a stretch fabric suit and zipper closure, which is the appeal for owners whose dogs fight the traditional collar. The title and materials make clear this is a fabric surgical suit built for spay, neuter and skin-condition recovery.

• Size L fits 15-28 pound dogs, 16.1 inch back
• 93% cotton, 7% spandex stretch fabric
• Zipper closure, scoop neck design
• Machine washable

Who it's for

Suits owners of small to medium dogs recovering from spay, neuter or skin condition treatment who want an alternative to an e-collar. The cotton-spandex blend also suits dogs prone to hot spots or shedding who need a barrier layer. Not a fit for dogs outside the 15 to 28 pound range this size covers.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The 93 percent cotton, 7 percent spandex blend stretches to cover the torso and leg area, while a zipper closure makes it faster to put on and take off than a strap-based suit. Because it is fabric rather than a rigid collar, it blocks direct licking access without restricting the dog's vision or movement the way a cone does.
