Medical Pet Shirt Dog

Medical Pet Shirt Dog

The Medical Pet Shirt looks like a canine onesie. It can be easily removed thanks to the opening at the back. When going for a walk, it can be secured with press studs near the tail. In case of incontinence, or when a female dog is in season, a panty liner or sanitary towel can be fitted. The Medical Pet Shirt is comfortable, hygienic and machine washable at 30º Celsius. A dog medical suit is perfect for when your dog has been in surgery or suffers from incontinence or skin disorders. 

How do I put it on my dog?

For small dogs with short legs, pull the shirt over the head first, and then insert legs into the relevant openings one by one. For larger dogs, it is easier to first insert one leg, then the head followed by the other legs, and finally pulling the shirt up your dog's torso, pulled back as far as possible. The two ends of the ventral side (between the hind legs) can be affixed using the press studs. Ensure there is sufficient room for the tail.

Onesie after surgery

A onesie, like the Medical Pet Shirt, protects the surgical wound or sutures on the torso after surgery. A canine onesie prevents your dog from licking, scratching or biting the surgical site without limiting him or her. A canine onesie can also be used for female dogs in season.

Medical Pet Shirt after spaying

How long your dog should wear a Medical Pet Shirt after spaying depends on your dog and the surgical site. If the wound is small and healing nicely, 7 or 10 days is enough unless your dog licks or scratches at the wound. In that case it’s wise to keep the Medical Pet Shirt on for a few more days after the stitches are removed or until after the veterinary check-up. As long as your dog continues licking the wound, you should protect it.

Properties

• Aid for after surgery, for skin diseases, in oestrus or incontinence.
• A Medical Pet Shirt causes less stress, anxiety and insecurities compared to a cone.
• Prevents your dog from being able to reach the wound or sensitive areas on the skin.
• Because the Medical Pet Shirt is not tight around the belly, the wound is sufficiently aired, and should remain dry.
• The Medical Pet Shirt is light blue inside the belly, so any seepage from the wound is visible.
• A panty liner can be applied inside the shirt, or between the double layer at the abdomen.
• Keeps your dog warm after surgery.
• Comfortable, hygienic and washable at  60/90º Celsius.

Using the Dog Medical Suit means less blood or urine stains in your house. Unlike the pants, dogs find it difficult to remove the shirt so it is hygienic for you and the dog.

Please note: The Medical Pet Shirt does not have a hole in it to allow for urination. However, you can easily open the back using the press studs and roll the shirt up when taking your pet out.

What size should I order for my dog, and what if the shirt doesn't fit?

Measure your pet from the collar to the beginning of the tail to make a good estimate. It is better for the shirt to be slightly tight than for it to be too loose. The following sizes are the lengths from the neck to the tail of the dog. Please note: because we are often faced with returns of Medical Pet Shirts which are dirty, we apply the following rules for returns. If the Vetsend employee receives a Medical Pet Shirt which is dirty / stained / worn / contains dog hair / has a dirty smell or has been washed after use, we reserve the right to not refund money to your account. We will not return the shirt to you, but donate it to a local animal shelter.

TIP: To prevent hair ending up on the product or it becoming dirty, we recommend putting a T-shirt on your dog first.
