FAQs

How do I measure my dog for the Suitical Recovery Suit?

Measure the back length (base of the neck to the base of the tail) and the chest circumference. Compare these measurements with the size chart provided by the manufacturer.

Can my dog wear the suit all the time?

Machine wash the suit on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Avoid using bleach.

What if my dog has a hard time adjusting to the suit?

Introduce the suit gradually, allowing your dog to get used to wearing it. Use positive reinforcement, such as treats and praise, to encourage them. Make sure the fit is comfortable.

Troubleshooting

Suit doesn't fit properly.

Double-check the measurements and ensure you've selected the correct size based on the manufacturer's size chart. If necessary, exchange for a different size.

Dog is trying to remove the suit.

Ensure the suit is properly fitted and the closures are secure. Try distracting your dog with treats or toys to help them adjust. If the problem persists, consult with your vet.

The suit is getting wet.

If the suit is getting wet due to discharge or incontinence, consider using absorbent pads inside the suit for added protection. Replace the pad frequently.

Difficulty with toileting.

Make sure the rear section of the suit is fully open when your dog needs to urinate or defecate. You may need to adjust the suit slightly to provide more clearance.
