These amazing recovery garments have helped our dogs through multiple surgeries! The particularly ingenious Hip and Thigh Protective Sleeve from VetMedWear is our #1 recommendation for a low-stress, comfortable alternative to an Elizabethan collar. Specifically designed for recovery from surgeries of the hind limbs such as TPLO, TTA, tumor excision, etc., these 100% cotton jersey garments are lightweight and breathable, allowing wounds & incisions to heal.  Also perfect for protecting skin irritation from hot spots, infections or burns. 

Sleeves can be used along with bandages, greatly reducing the need to change wound dressings that have become soiled by dirt and/or debris.  Because of the breathable weave of the cotton jersey, sleeves may even be used in place of a bandage, as they allow airflow to the wound (necessary for healthy incision healing). Only 100% Global Organic Textile Standards-Certified organic cotton and dyes are used to make these garments, so they are free of toxins and other chemicals that can be harmful to wounds. 

**For dogs who are crated when alone, we recommend beginning recovery with a Zen Cone or ZenCollar, allowing freedom from the collar only when you're able to supervise closely. While uncommon, some dogs may attempt to lick or nibble through the fabric, so testing this out while you can supervise is key to a successful, speedy recovery. 

    Features

    • interchangeable for either back leg
    • breathable, hypoallergenic fabric
    • supportive strip prevents bunching & keeps the sleeve in place
    • secured by tying two sets of strings
    • soft and stretchable leg cuffs can be rolled up for shorter legs
    • reflective material at the top of the sleeve for high visibility at night

    Recommended Fit

    Should fit snugly but not be tight. If center string is too long, loop waist ties around to cinch up length. Leg sleeve can also be rolled at the cuff for dogs with shorter legs
