Suitical Recovery Suit for Dogs

Suitical Recovery Suit for Dogs 

The Recovery Suit from Suitical is a type of romper made from lightweight, breathable fabric. It is easy to put on, with press studs at the base of the tail. For incontinence or oestrus, a panty liner or pad can be inserted into the Recovery Suit. The Recovery Suit for dogs is also available in camouflage print.

The Recovery Suit can be used for different purposes:

• After surgery: using the Recovery Suit, your dog will suffer less stress, anxiety and uncertainty. Your dog can't reach the wound, but will be more comfortable as the shirt is not too tight around the belly and there is sufficient air flow to the wound, so it will remain dry. The inside of the suit is light blue, so any fluid leakage is easily visible. Animals are often shaved for surgery, which can cause the body temperature to drop. The Recovery Suit helps keep recovering animals warm.
• For skin diseases: The Recovery Suit limits injuries to the skin caused by scratching and biting where protection is needed.
• For oestrous and incontinence: The Recovery Suit reduces the risk of blood or urine stains in your house. Unlike similar products, the suit is very difficult for your pet to remove himself.

How do I put the Recovery Suit on my dog?

• Step 1: For larger dogs, it is easier to put one leg in first, then the head and then the other leg. For small dogs, put it over the head first and then the front legs, one by one.
• Step 2: Pull the Recovery Suit over the dog's body, as far back as possible.
• Step 3: Pull the two ends between the hind legs and fasten the press studs at the back. Ensure that there is sufficient space for the tail.

This suit differs from the Suitical Recovery Suit for Cats, as the back of the Recovery Suit for Dogs is easy to roll up and fasten, for when you take the dog out for a walk and it needs to do its business.

Washing instructions

The Recovery Suit can be washed in the washing machine at maximum 30ºC.

Which size should I order for my dog?

By measuring your dog from the collar to the base of the tail, you can estimate the size needed. If in doubt, tighter is better than too loose. The following sizes are based on the length from the neck to base of the tail, as shown on the image with the arrow.

It's important to know how to measure your pet properly to ensure that you purchase the right size. The How to determine the right size for my pet article offers insight and tips on the best way to do this!

*These measurements exclude a potential 10% deviation on textiles.

What if the shirt doesn't fit?

The Recovery Shirt can be removed from the packaging and held up next to the dog in order to check whether it fits. For hygiene reasons, the Shirt cannot be returned if it has come into contact with the dog. If we find that the returned product is stained, worn, contains animal hair, smells or has been washed after use, we cannot return the product to you. In this event, it will be donated to a charity (local shelter). As we are often confronted with Recovery Shirts that are returned in a less than new condition, we have to apply these rules for fitting and/or returning products.
