Description of Vet Recommended After-Surgery Wear: E-Collar Alternative for Cats and Dogs

Characteristics

After Surgery Wear: The E-Collar Alternative for Cats and Dogs is a revolutionary product recommended by veterinarians to protect abdominal wounds in cats, dogs, and rabbits. Designed with comfort and safety in mind, this innovative alternative to traditional E-collars allows pets to move freely without causing additional stress or discomfort. The product's primary goal is to accelerate healing while significantly reducing the risk of infection by providing a secure and protective environment for the wound. It is made from high-quality materials that ensure durability and effectiveness, making it an ideal choice for post-surgery care.

Similar Products

While traditional E-collars have been the go-to solution for post-surgery wound protection, After Surgery Wear offers a more convenient and practical alternative for pet owners. Unlike the cumbersome birdcage-like structure of traditional E-collars, this product features a clever cut in the back that allows most female animals to urinate or excrete while wearing it. However, it's essential to note that this design does not provide an opening for male animals to urinate, requiring a partial removal and retying along the body before taking them on a walk or letting them outside. This unique design sets it apart from other similar products in the market and ensures complete protection of the abdominal area during the healing process.

Problems Solved

The After Surgery Wear tackles several issues that pet owners often encounter with traditional E-collars. By providing a more comfortable and less restrictive alternative, it addresses the problem of reduced mobility and increased stress associated with wearing conventional E-collars. Moreover, the product's secure fit and protective design minimize the risk of infection and further complications, ensuring a faster and smoother recovery process for cats, dogs, and rabbits. The product's sizing options, backed by a size chart and clear instructions, make it easier for pet owners to find the perfect fit, resolving the common problem of improper sizing.

Important Parameters and Usage

The After Surgery Wear comes in various sizes, and pet owners must refer to the provided size chart and measure their pets carefully to find the right fit. It is crucial to ensure that the product fits securely, covering the abdominal wound area adequately while allowing the animal to move comfortably. The back cut is specially designed for female animals to ease the urination process without compromising protection. However, for male animals, it's essential to follow the instructions and make the necessary adjustments for their outdoor activities. The product can be used for cats, dogs, and rabbits recovering from various abdominal surgeries, injuries, or wounds.

Where This Product Can Be Used

COMFORT AND SAFETY - Used by veterinarians as an E-Collar alternative to protect abdominal wounds for cats, dogs, and rabbits. Increases mobility, reduces stress, accelerates healing, and reduces the risk of infection by keeping the wound safely protected. MALES VS. FEMALES - After Surgery Wear has a cut in the back to allow most female animals to urinate/excrete while wearing the product. To ensure the abdominal area is fully protected, the product does not have an opening for male animals to urinate. Before going on a walk or letting male animals outside, the product must be partially removed from the back legs and retied along the body (see picture in listing). SIZING – For sizing instructions, please refer to the size chart in the images and measure carefully. To ensure a secure and snug fit, the last pair of strings should be crisscrossed with the second last pair of strings (tie the left side of the last string with the right side of the second last string and vice-versa). PATENTED DESIGN - Adjustable strings ensure a custom and secure fit for animals of all shapes and sizes. Includes an adhesive hygienic pad (for sizes XXS, XS, S, M, ML, L) that should be placed onto the fabric to absorb any discharge from the wound. FABRIC - Specially woven fabrics deter most animals from excessive licking. Breathable and light fabric allows for constant air-flow circulation allowing the wound to heal safely. Fabrics are 100% pure cotton and hypoallergenic to prevent skin irritation. Machine washable (before washing, tie a knot at the end of each string to minimize fraying).

The best option after surgery!

I'm so glad I found this product! I can't say enough good things about him! I was looking for a cone that would look comfortable on my bitch post spay but still protect her incision from dirt and undue curiosity. I almost went for the soft taper and electronic collar option but found this shirt and tie instead. It's a great design, well worth the price, light enough to be comfortable while still providing the wound protection I was looking for. My dog can sleep, eat, walk and lie down…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Great! in health products

I cannot praise this product enough! I currently have a 30 lb growing golden doodle that has just been neutered. I HATE e-collars and think they make recovery harder so I took a chance on getting this one. I'm so happy I did! My dog felt absolutely comfortable in it for 5 days. She was able to move about freely and go about her "business" without any problems. In fact, on day 4 she jumped over the dog gate and showed me that she was healing well. Not once did she try to remove it or bite the…

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • poorly thought out

A good alternative for dogs who cannot/do not want to wear e-collars.

I bought the XXL for my nearly £70. GSD after having surgery to remove her breasts. She has removed her e-collar in the past and it tends to irritate the skin on her face due to drooling and moisture retention. Also, she is in a house with several dogs. Although e-collars prevent them from licking their stitches, they don't prevent other dogs from doing so. Our vet recommended we try an old t-shirt, but since the incision was about 10 inches long and ran between her legs, it wasn't entirely…

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Disappears

Does what it should!

I had this applied to my daughter's vets in the Great Pyrenees after they gave her a knee spray. Good, here we go! The vet asked me to wear her e-collar for two weeks and leave the coveralls on at the same time, just in case. The e-collar was putting pressure on my dog's neck/head which seemed very uncomfortable so I watched her manage with just the jumpsuit. I noticed that she didn't seem to care at all about the location of her incision when she wore this jumpsuit, so that looks like a big…

Pros
  • Hard wearing finish
Cons
  • So-so

Great concept terrible quality

I love the idea of this aftercare suit and I'm giving it two stars because the idea is so good AND because I'll be using it for another week. My dog was spayed and the vet wanted her to wear a cone for about a week - HA! There's no chance she'll leave the cone and that would be counterproductive - she was to be kept "calm" and "not very active" this week and the cone would infuriate her. So glad I found it online and ordered it right away. I slipped it on as soon as it arrived and quickly found

Pros
  • Easy install

10 stars! - Health Products

I'm so glad I bought this! I was always buying cones for my cats until I saw this! My younger cat licked all the skin off her belly because of an allergy. This particular cat will NOT use a cone. She is a spoiled princess. When I saw it was recommended to me, I've never seen anything like it, even when it was fixed I had to box it up (it's an absolute nightmare). I had to give him a chance and I'm incredibly grateful for that. I even tried to make a cat sweater at home but to no avail. This…

Pros
  • Elegant Design
Cons
  • Very Expensive

Keeps cuts clean and dry! Essential item for puppies

Essential item for young bitches when they are neutered. I ordered this for my 6 month old golden baby girl as a replacement for the cone of shame. However, it is better than a replacement as it worked very well when walking. We were able to walk and keep the cut clean and dry even in the rain and snow. A big plus is that she goes to the toilet in a suit without any problems. For that alone it is worth the price. I put a small pad inside to further protect the incision (the suit only comes with

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Versatile design, thoughtful design, excellent customer service

My 12 pound medium sized poodle had emergency surgery. It turned out that she had late-stage cancer. Her stomach was cut off. The included e-cone had to be doubled to fit her tiny neck (making it extremely heavy) and was too long to fit her long snout, she couldn't drink from it. The dog was in pain and the collar was not working. I went to Revain and found this product and paid $3.99 for overnight shipping. The next day at 9pm I received a Revain status that it CAN be delivered in 3 days…

Pros
  • Got it!
Cons
  • Expensive
