The four-leg cut and how the suit is fastened

Each of the four legs has a sleeve, and the fabric runs over the belly and the back. The extended coverage is there to discourage your dog from licking or scratching the site directly, and every leg, front and rear, sits under a sleeve.

The cotton and spandex blend gives the suit a soft, stretchy feel and a lightweight, breathable one. It moves with your dog through rest, walks and sleep, and it adds no bulk of a traditional cone. Full-length snaps run down the back, which is where you open the suit for dressing and routine checks.

Will this suit fit your dog?

Start with back length, then chest and neck, and check leg length as well if your dog is a short-legged breed. Size by weight alone does not settle the choice. The four-leg design is aimed at small breeds: Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Maltese, Pomeranians, Shih Tzus and Mini Poodles.

A marked section on the lower side can be cut away for potty access if required. Before you cut, check the surgical site, so the trimmed opening sits where you want it.

Putting the suit on and trimming the potty opening

Open the back snaps along the full length, ease the four legs into the sleeves, then close the snaps. The same opening is used for removal and for checking the site. Back length comes first, followed by chest and neck, and short-legged breeds also need a leg length check.

When needed, potty access can be made by trimming the marked area underneath. Before cutting, inspect the surgical site.
