Great alternative to the cone of shame!

We got this for our 53 pound, 2 year old standard goldendoodle, for her spay, because if she had to wear the cone of shame for 2 weeks, she'd just stand there with her head down for 14 days, giving me the stink eye. It worked amazingly, super happy we went with it. We measured the neck, back and chest, and I had read that if the measurements fell into different size ranges on the chart, to go with the one that was recommended for the back length. Her back length was 26, I believe, so we got the 2xl, but her neck was either in the lg or xlarge. Getting the one for her back length worked out great, the neck fit fine, wasn't too big or anything. I liked it a lot because it wasn't form fitting to her belly, so it could breathe, but she couldn't mess with her incision. The material was good, and able to handle the couple of times our playful other doodle gained access to her convelescing room and dive bombed her. Keeping these two apart for 2 weeks was the hardest part of the whole process 🤣 i held off on writing this until she was completely healed so I could give good info on how it worked. The straps were a little long and would have been a little loose if we had done like the instructions say, but we criss-crossed them and it fit great. The underside velcro meant to hold everything while she was undone and going to the bathroom was not a feature I could ever figure out when she was needing to go, I just undid the straps and put them over her back and attached to the butt velcro, tucking the fabric in, and that worked well. We also had the vet put it on her in recovery, which helped out a lot because when she came home she wasn't really with it enough that we could have helped her into it. The velcro was really strong, and this washed well and even though it said line dry, I ran it on low in the dryer with no problem. The only thing I would point out is that the strong velcro panels tended to curl under and kind of bug her so she liked us to scratch her hips a lot. For the peace of mind and ease of use, I certainly don't mind scratching my dog's butt now and then. I would definitely buy this again.
