Review on 🔒 E-Collar Alternative for Cats and Dogs: Protection for Abdominal Wounds & Skin Disease. Award-Winning & Patented Design, Vet Recommended (Medium, Pink) by Dawn Adams

Due to problems with urination, our dog had to undergo penile surgery. We must keep him quiet and not lick the wound for 10 days; Not an easy task for a 3 year old poodle! He's never had to wear a cone, so I wasn't sure how he'd handle it and wanted another option. Well, after a day and a half of the "Cone of Shame," I thought we'd give it a try. . He's only worn it for a few hours, but so far it seems to be adjusting to it pretty well. I ordered the X-Large mainly because I prefer solid colors, but that's also where the size chart says it. I didn't want it to be tight so as not to irritate the surgical site. I also didn't want it to be too loose with gaps in where to access the site. I would say the fit is near perfect. I added a female napkin to the inside of the gown at the surgical site to allow some discharge from the incision to be sucked up. Our dog is a 29 pound poodle (a mini poodle/standard poodle mix) and measures 19 inches at the shoulder. He is very thin and has a rather narrow chest. Not sure how he would sit if he had a wide chest as the fit almost fits him. It's made from a lighter weight fabric with fabric drawstrings to hold it up. I think our dog could chew a hole through the fabric if he wanted to, but so far he hasn't shown much desire. put it on, it practically froze in place. I ignored him and he stood there for about 20 minutes. Eventually I lifted him onto my lap and after a few minutes he calmed down and relaxed. I was so happy! Like he finally got his first real *rest* since the surgery! When he woke up, I took off my robe and went outside. then it hung up again when we got back to the house. Then he took a big gulp of water, which he wouldn't do with a plastic cone on his head, and now he's lying in his bed getting some rest. We'll most likely put the plastic cone back on his head if I can't keep an eye on him, it seems safe in this situation, but this dress seems like a great option for when we're at home and can keep an eye on him.
