Product Information

Full details

The MPS Medical Pet Shirt is designed for dog owners seeking a stress-free, professional alternative to the traditional plastic medical cone. Ideal for post-surgical recovery, skin conditions, or wound protection, this full-body garment allows your pet to maintain natural movement and comfort while preventing them from licking or irritating sensitive areas. While it offers superior comfort compared to bulky cones, owners must ensure they measure their pet accurately to avoid selecting a size that is too loose for effective protection.

FAQs

How do I determine the correct size?

Measure your dog from the collar to the base of the tail. If you are between two sizes, always choose the smaller one.

Can my dog go to the bathroom while wearing the shirt?

Yes, the design is created to allow for natural bathroom breaks without needing to remove the shirt.

Is this shirt machine washable?

Yes, the shirt is machine washable, which is essential for maintaining a sterile environment during recovery.

Can I use this instead of a cone for head injuries?

No, the Medical Pet Shirt is primarily for body, torso, and limb protection. It will not prevent a dog from scratching its face or ears.

How often should I change or wash the shirt?

It is recommended to wash the shirt as needed to keep the surgical site clean and free of debris.

Troubleshooting

The shirt is sliding off or feels too loose.

You likely need a smaller size. Verify your measurement from the collar to the base of the tail again.

Dog is still reaching the surgical site.

Ensure the shirt is pulled taut and properly fastened; if the dog is very agile, consider a tighter size or consult your vet for additional protective measures.

Dog seems anxious wearing the shirt.

Allow the dog to adjust for a few hours. If they continue to struggle, ensure there are no seams pressing into their skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, measure your dog from the collar to the base of the tail. If your pet's measurements fall between two sizes, it is recommended to select the smaller size to ensure a snug fit that prevents slipping.

Care Instructions:

Wash the shirt regularly in a washing machine to keep the area around the wound hygienic.
Ensure the shirt is completely dry before placing it back on your dog.
Check the surgical site daily by lifting the shirt to ensure it remains clean and shows no signs of infection or irritation.
