This is the second of my pups that have worn this product after a spay. So comfortable for the dogs that they literally didn't look "˜down there once' much less sniff at it or bother it. No more of the awful cone of shame. Be sure that you order it enough in advance that you can order a couple to be sure that you have a a good fit. Dogs come in a huge assortment of sizes. I recommend this product highly!

I bought the Medium-Long for my female Cavalier King Charles Spaniel for her spay surgery. It allowed her to spend the recovery time out of a cone. She totally left her stitches alone while wearing this miracle garment. Not only that, every time she was out of her Surgi-Snuggly, she would try to scratch her stitches using her back legs. The cone did nothing to deter that. As soon as I put the Surgi-Snuggly on her, she would immediately leave her stitches alone and stop trying to scratch them with her back legs. She spent all day in this and slept in the suit at night and did not seem to mind it at all. It made her recovery time soooooo much better for her and for me.

Then, my male Cav needed to be neutered and to have an umbilical hernia repaired. Out came the Surgi-Snuggly again. Although my female is more thickly built and she is a couple of pounds overweight, the same exact Surgi-Snuggly fit my long, lean male just fine. He also tries to scratch his tummy stitches with his back legs any time the Surgi-Snuggly is not on him. For him, as a male, I pull the Surgi-Snuggly up around his chest when I take him to potty to be sure he doesn't pee on it.

Again, the cone did nothing to handle him trying to scratch his stitches with his back legs. He did find a way to try to chew at his testicles (not his stitches, but his actual testicle skin) while in the Surgi-Snuggly. I think I hadn't pulled it on him tight enough. So now I pull it on more tight (but not too tight "“ the fabric is very stretchy). And I do put his cone on him to sleep at night to be extra safe.

I put a disposable male diaper on him and then put the Surgi-Snuggly on over that. He doesn't mind any of it. He spends his days like that while he's recovering and it's working just as great for him as it did for my female.

The velcro on the back flap is getting a little less "sticking" than it was when I first bought it, but considering how many times a day I undo it and redo it for him to potty (and did many times for my female), I'm extremely happy with this purchase. (And really, the undoing process is super easy and fast. It sounds complicated or like a pain, but it's really not bad.)

This is a miraculous product that has allowed my dogs to calmly heal and feel relaxed and to LEAVE THEIR STITCHES ALONE!!!

I would buy this again in a heartbeat and cannot rate it highly enough. Thank you!

P.S. Photo of my female near the end of her healing wearing her purple Surgi-Snuggly with her harness over it and the leash still attached. After our short walk, she climbed right up on her bed and fell asleep before I took her leash and harness off. She was super comfy. 😊

EDITED to add 2 photos of our long and lean puppy in his Surgi-Suggly. This is what it looks like after daily use for about 2 1/2 weeks total between my two pups surgeries. I dried it today to help it shrink a little to fit my little guy better. Also, this is totally ideal for spay and keeping a female from her stitches. Also ideal for keeping him away from his hernia stitches. But I have to fasten the back tightly to be sure he can't reach his neuter stitches. Just to be safe, I put a cone on him for bedtime.

TL;DR: Used Medium-Long on my female Cav (thickly built and a little overweight) for spay surgery and my male Cav (long and lean and skinny) for hernia repair and neuter surgery. Worked great for both. Prevents them from scratching tummy stitches with back legs. Didn't need cone for female. Used cone at first with my male and then only overnight with my male to be extra safe. Surgi-Snuggly made both dogs relax and leave their stitches alone. Both wore Surgi-Snuggly constantly during recovery and seemed totally comfortable. As soon as it's on, they leave their stitches alone. HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! 😊

Highly recommend! I NEVER write reviews but if I can save even one person the hassle of a cone then I'm happy I took the time. If you are looking for an alternative for a cone this is the best option of the many I tried. It made such a difference for my dog's recovery from surgery. The cone was unbearable for all of us and made for a rough couple of days. I only wish I had this on hand when she first came home from the vet. I think every vet office should consider having these in stock so you can purchase it when needed. A cone is beyond ridiculous in comparison.
We are now on post op day 13 and almost done with it. It has been easy to clean and easy to use and I'm so grateful we found this option while searching for alternative solutions in the middle of a sleepless night with my dog.

We have a bernedoodle at 85lbs and a large chest it is very hard to get the right size for him. After his last surgery we realized he is so long that he can reach around his cone to his stitches. I looked into many suits and we settled on this one. Due to the length measurements and breathable material we thought thus would meet our needs the most. We also were worried about him overheating and this material like a nylon, bathing suit that breathes really well and isn't holding his body heat inside at all. He can't move it around to get to his bandages and his fluffy little tale sticks out the end. The only thing I wish I had thought of was his 'manhood' not being able to stick out so he can do pee. But the diaper like straps do give an easy option to remove when sending him to the bathroom.

My GSD had emergency surgery for bloat and I was told she had to wear a surgical suit. I ordered two, and this was one. My dog is big- 91 lbs- and this fit. It stretches well and the fit is perfect. It kept her from licking her staples. It is also easy to remove the rear part for when I take her outside to do her business. Since I have to change the suit every 2 hrs, it dries quickly. I advise not machine drying because that will ruin the velcro- which you need. Hang dry it- it dries quickly.
