Cat Professional Recovery Suit for Abdominal Wounds or Skin Diseases, E-Collar Alternative for Cats after Surgery Wear,cat medical vest

From the reviews I was unsure what size to get my fluffy old boy, because he used to be around 5.3kg but due to extreme muscle wastage he's now just under 4kg. I went for a Large in Grey (first 2 photos), & while it fit perfectly at the top, the chest, & length of his body, it was loose & droopy around his back legs. He didn't seem to care or notice, but occasionally his back legs went inside it, so I ordered a Medium (third photo). The medium is more snug, but comes lower than ideal on his chest (rather than neck), & does seem to annoy him where it hugs his legs. But still it's better than the cone of shame, & is stopping him chewing at his various lumps & bumps, so it's staying. Despite his feisty nature he let me put it on so easily, & he didn't mind the looser one at all, in fact he seemed to really like it! The more snug one has made him grouchy, but honestly these are fantastic given the alternative, so I'm sure he'll get used to it. There don't seem to be enough poppers on the Large , but I'm glad to have poppers rather than the velcro that the lighter colours seem to come with. EDIT: The Medium that fit him snugly turned my boy in to a statue for 24 hours. He even seemed relieved to have the cone back on once I removed it. I think it's better to have a cat get his feet stuck inside one that's too big (thus becoming a loaf, or walking his way out of it) than a dribbling angry statue.

First Purchase was 3 star review. My second order and review is further down.... 1. Small I have a very small 8 month old kitten and the small seemed to be the best option from her weight and measurements as I read them. The body fabric of the garment is stretchy like a cotton lycia t-shirt, but the edges (seams/piping) have virtually no stretch, so be careful choosing the size. The bseal on top of the body was velcro (noisy and irritating to my cat and me) although to be fair there is room for minor adjustment in doing up the velcro to make it a little tighter or looser if that helps. Sadly I misread the lbs for kgs, my mistake and it's cost me and my kitten. The small is not long enough in the body for my girl and it forced the neck opening with the fixed cord in too far down and over her shoulders, which restrict her movement too much and make her wobbly and unsure of herself when moving. So I have cut the cord out of the neck, which allows it to stretch more, so she can move easier temporarily, while I wait for the medium to arrive. Fingers crossed that it stays on and the new one will fit better when it arrives, as I have realised my mistake and corrected it as best I can. I give it 3 stars only for the piping and velcro. The rest of the problems, I consider to be from my error in choosing the wrong size. 2. My second order was a size medium. This was a much better fit, even being a bit baggy on the belly. That part was great. The back opening was closed with plastic poppers, which was great for ease of use and quietness. The neck has to be fitted with a cord to tighten and hold it in the right place just don't forget to loosen it before you try to take it off! However the non-stretchy piping is still a problem for my slender 2.7kg 8 month old kitten. It still restricts her movements and safe jumping, she cannot extend her front legs, nor extend her hind legs properly and always has to scrambles at least part of the way. If the manufacturers changed the piping for elastic (and send me a complimentary size medium for the brilliant suggestion) they would definitely get a 5 dtar rating from me, as they would be perfect for me. It is also a quick on and off process, so I'm now at the stage where I take it off when I'm at home during the day, then I pop it back on at bedtime or when I have to go out, when I can't keep at eye on her. All In all a great product, with a small imperfection that could easily be resolved, that has majorly improved my kittens life since her neutering and wearing the cone of shame, which is a terrible thing to inflict on a cat. The cone made my kit bump into everything, lose her balance, like her confidence, gave her depression, prevented her eating of drinking and just totally ruined her life.. This suit (admittedly not completely trouble free) is a horsens to the horrific and barbaric plastic "cone of shame" which causes untold, both mental and physical health problems, including depression, loss of thirst and loss of appetite. They are cruel. GET ONE OF THE SUITS IN PREPARATION BEFORE ANY SURGERY THAT IS PREPARED FOR IN ADVANCE IR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTERWARDS. I'm a lifelong, multiple cats owner, who is in tune with all my animals. I have never seen any animal, of any species, as clinically depressed and ready to fade away and die as my newest little girl cat. It was all caused by the cone of shame and it damn near broke our hearts. I would not hesitate to ban then if I could. Buy this suit or something else, but please don't make any cat suffer the cone of death in future. P. S. Pass the word around please, to any and every cat owner/carer you know, whether commercial or private.

My cat is 2.4kg and medium size fit well. Vet put the suit on straight after surgery, I had her home 4hrs later. When she was finally free to walk around the house, it took her many attempts and rolly-pollys to try to try to get rid of the suit. She also walked funny for couple of hours. It was difficult to watch so i took the suit off. The moment the suit was off, she jumped on the kitchen worktop! I quickly realised the suit limits her movement hence had to go back on or too big stretches can open the wound. She got used to the suit about 5hrs later and it helped that she was sleepy. Try to survive first 2-4 hrs seeing her struggling, she will get used to it soon..

The got the job done, were light and airy so my kittens didn’t get overheated in them. Kittens were easily able to use the bathroom in them and they didn’t get dirty or messy While they didn’t like wearing them, I would say they’re not uncomfortable. But it is a very thin material, so after several days, my kittens had licked and chewed some holes into them, which I suppose it’s expected if you go for a more light material. There were a few times each kitten got out of the suits while I was sleeping too, so I had to readjust them and put them back on my cats a few times. Not the best quality, but they did work for the 10 days my girls had to wear them after being spayed. Not to mention, my kitties look cute as heck in them!

Bought this for my cat who licked her belly raw so needed to give it a chance to heal. I bought the pink first and it was perfect, Velcro all down the back was secure and the little toggle on the neck to adjust that was fantastic, now way to escape, so obviously I decided to order a second one so I could wash the first. For the second one I ordered the grey in the same size, I was surprised to find there was no neck toggle and poppers instead of velcro on the back, it also seemed to run a little smaller (but I assumed the pink one had probably stretched a bit). It took roughly 12 hours before she figured out how to get out of the grey one entirely after 2 weeks in the pink one with no escape. Very annoyed that these aren’t the same products, but they’re advertised as if they are. There’s also no option for refund or exchange so that was a total waste of money.

The recovery body suits we purchased for our two kittens after their surgery have been brilliant. They are easy to put on as the neck is stretchy and has a simple closure device. The back fastening is simple to close even when holding a wriggly kitten. As both kittens are around 2kg I ordered the medium size. The slightly smaller kitten has managed to wriggle out of the suit 3 times but that has been rectified by taking it in at the side seems. The organic cotton material is breathable and comfortable for the kittens to wear and allows air to get to the wound. Their movement is far less restricted than with the alternative plastic neck cone. They are able to cuddle up to each other and lick each other, which they couldn't do with the plastic cones on. Feeding and litter tray use is also much easier. All in all a really good purchase, which has resulted in much happier kittens.

Prompt arrival Bought for the spay of my 3.2kg cat Coco. Easy to put on, fitted well, soft material BUT within 1st hour & despite having had claws trimmed prior to surgery, the suit was snagged & holes widened at a startling pace making a donut collar necessary to protect her The suit was falling to bits within 3 hours - although the material is soft, it isn’t durable & I’ve had to buy another for the 5 days she’s required to wear one Waste of money despite nice colour & soft material & good fit Vet fitted the suit & said it was correct size & fit Was refused a refund

We needed to stop our cat licking a wound on her tummy and the e-cone provided by the vet was very stressful for her and us. She was becoming very depressed and couldn’t eat or drink with the cone on but when we took it off and put the body suit on she was back to her normal self and happy again. She’s eating normally and using the litter tray with no problems. This is a fantastic alternative to the collars. I suggest buying a couple so you can put one in the wash. My cat is about 6 kilos but not particularly long, so a little round in the tummy area and a large fits her perfectly. Would highly recommend. I would add that having now used it for a couple of weeks I don’t advise letting your cat outside unsupervised in this vest because it can easily get caught on branches etc. also as good as it is my cat managed to get her back legs up through the leg openings and was then unable to walk so be aware of all the possible problems

Wife and I each ordered one. After the first cat was dressed up, she proceeded doubling over and tore it off (head and paws first) quite easily. Either she’s Houdine incarnate or the product simply is not fit for purpose… We did not bother unpacking the second one and I hit the return button… to add insult to injury, the item cannot be returned unused. Buyer beware!

Compré este traje de recuperación para mi gatita tras una cirugía abdominal y ha sido una excelente alternativa al collar isabelino, que le generaba bastante estrés. El tejido es suave, elástico y transpirable. Se adapta muy bien al cuerpo sin apretar y cubre completamente la zona abdominal, evitando que pueda lamer la herida. En mi caso elegí la talla M y se ajusta correctamente según la tabla de medidas (recomiendo medir antes de comprar). Lo que más me ha gustado es que puede moverse con normalidad: camina, se sienta, duerme e incluso usa el arenero sin problemas. No parece incómoda ni intenta quitárselo constantemente. Adjunto foto real para que se vea cómo queda puesto, ya que a mí me ayudó mucho ver imágenes de otros compradores antes de decidirme. En general, estoy muy satisfecha con la compra. Ha hecho el proceso de recuperación mucho más tranquilo y cómodo tanto para ella como para mí. Lo volvería a comprar si lo necesitara. Si estás dudando entre collar isabelino o traje postoperatorio, en nuestro caso esta opción ha sido mucho más llevadera.

J'ai acheté deux tailles M et S, pour une toute petite chatte de 6 mois opérée , afin d'éviter l'horreur de la collerette ; trois minutes après elle avait enlevé le M, la vétérinaire lui a mis le S, et c'est parfait, merveilleux; la petite ne tente pas de l'enlever, c'est bien collant, pas gênant elle bouge saute, , mange, et est heureuse avec; je conseille ce produit, mais il est difficile de déterminer une taille, même en mesurant le chat, car avec les mesures conseillées, elle aurait du avoir du M.Quoi qu'il en soit, c'est un très bon produit bien adapté .Complément , j'ai acheté deux autres L pour mes chattes opérées, c'est toujours parfait, solide , et l'ancien M a été réutilisé, prévoir toujours une taille au dessus, c'est un très bon produit . .

Leider hab ich das zu groß bestellt. Von der Qualität her ganz gut
