HOW TO PUT THE SUIT ON: We know how important it is to be able to quickly dress and undress your dog, which is why our Recovery Suit® is made of soft and stretchy high-quality material. The Recovery Suit® has a snug fit to prevent your dog from wiggling out. It is important however to keep monitoring your dog if the snug fit isn’t too tight. Getting the Recovery Suit® on and off your dog is simple, so let’s take a look!
Step 1: Roll up the Recovery Suit® with the middle head opening in your hand. Make sure that the light blue inner layer is facing down. Insert your dog’s head through the opening.
Step 2: Followed by inserting one leg into the provided smaller leg opening and the other leg into the other remaining smaller opening.
Step 3: Now pull the Recovery Suit® over your dog’s body all the way to the back.
Step 4: The lower belly flaps must be pulled between the hind legs towards the upper part near the base of the tail.
Step 5: Secure the two flaps with the snaps/poppers. We advise to close all snaps/poppers to keep the suit perfectly in place.
Step 6: Take a good look around the legs, neck and tail to see if there is enough room to move and breathe!
HOW TO USE THE SUIT CORRECTLY: This easy to put on and off Recovery Suit® is specially designed on the anatomy of dogs and can therefore only be used for dogs.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Consult your veterinarian when you want to use the Recovery Suit® for medical purposes. Your veterinarian can recommend a suitable treatment. Keep monitoring your dog regularly to make sure the fit is not too tight. We recommend keeping your dog under supervision of a responsible adult at all times while using the Recovery Suit®. Please consult your veterinarian if your dog’s behavior is changing or when your dog has excessive licking/chewing habits.
WASHING INSTRUCTIONS: For longer usage, it is possible that the print of the Recovery Suit® and the label could fade over time. With the washing instructions below, this process can be delayed. Washing, maintaining and handling of delivered items always remains the responsibility of the customer.
Instructions:
- Always turn inside out for washing
- Fasten all snaps/poppers before washing
- We recommend using a laundry bag
- Wash the Recovery Suit® up to a maximum of 90ºC/194ºF
- Never put the Recovery Suit® in the dryer! Hang it out and let it air dry
- Do not iron directly over the print and never too hot
- Do not use bleach or other chemicals to clean the Recovery Suit®
Using bleach and other chemicals can cause irritations to your dog’s wound, surgical area, hotspots or more…!
TIP! Little (peeing) accidents can happen while wearing the Recovery Suit®. To ensure that your dog remains protected, two Recovery Suits are often purchased. While one Recovery Suit® can be washed, the other can be worn. When your dog needs to wear the Recovery Suit® longer than a week, it’s always better to have a back-up!
The Recovery Suit® for dogs is toxic/lead free and is made of: 94% Organic Cotton 6% Invista Lycra (4-Way-Stretch)
FEATURES OF THE SUITICAL RECOVERY SUIT:
1 Loops for a dog collar There are loops around the neck on the inside of the Suit. The collar of your dog can be pulled through these loops and attached. It makes it even more difficult for your dog to squeeze out of the Recovery Suit®.
2 Soft stretch bands A soft, elastic and protective stretch band around the front and hind legs and around the tail ensures that the Recovery Suit® does not rub and cut into the legs and tail of the dog. Dogs can move and heal in complete freedom. However, it is important to make sure that your dog is fitted with the right size, and to make sure that the shirt is not too tight.
For animals where the surgical area and/or dermatological problem runs between the shoulder blades towards the neck, it is desirable for this area to be protected as well. Therefore, the Recovery Suit® is equipped with a longer, soft, elastic neck protective collar.
3 Easy hold-up system for walks The suit is completely closed (regardless of gender) to ensure that the entire torso of every physique is protected. In order to be able to walk your dog or check the wound, Suitical have developed a hold-up system. The suit can be rolled up inside and secured to the chest with press studs. For the best protection, the suit must always be closed again after a check or a walk outside.
4 Blue inner layer & pocket The interior of the Recovery Suit® is partially light blue so fluid loss can be checked by the veterinarian or owner. In the event of fluid loss, a sanitary towel can be applied on the inside of the suit or between the double layer.
5 Press studs for good fit It is very difficult for the dog to open the Recovery Suit® because the closure is on the back. However, it is quick, safe and easy for the owner or veterinarian to put on and off the shirt. We advise to close all press studs to keep the shirt perfectly in place.
6 Original Suitical product The Suitical logo is always on the left side of the Recovery Suit® near the shoulder area. There’s also a single teal colored snap, so you can quickly see that this is an original Suitical product.
