FAQ
Q: How long can my dog keep his or her suit on?
A: Our suits are designed to be left on for several days during your pet’s post surgical recovery, but if you see that your pet has soiled their suit, immediately remove the suit and wash it. Suits should only be worn when they are clean and dry.
Q: What should I do if my dog keeps licking and chewing at surgery site over the suit?
A: If your dog is constantly chewing and licking on suit, examine wound for any swelling or discharge, and then contact your veterinarian about the situation. Your pet may need some sedatives to calm their activity, or they may be trying to alert you of a problem in their healing process such as pain and inflammation.
Q: Do I need to take suit off for bathroom breaks?
A: Our suits are designed to be left on during bathroom breaks, in case your pet needs to use a doggie door during the day while their people work. Although, if you see that your pet has soiled their suit, immediately remove the suit and wash it. Suits should only be worn when they are clean and dry.
Q: My dog ripped off the suit and may have eaten some of it. What do I do?
A: Although our suits are durable, they are not tear proof. If you suspect your dog ate a portion of the suit, contact your veterinarian with this information. Our suits are non-toxic but can lead to blockage in the GI tract if large amounts or pieces are swallowed.
Q: How are sizes figured?
A: Measure your dog’s chest circumference in inches at widest point. Then measure your dog’s body length from collar to base of tail. Once you have these measurements you can then go to the item you are interested in and see which size category your dog falls into – listed on each product. We have also listed common breeds in each size to help you make a decision.
Q: Are suits washable?
A: Yes! Machine wash warm with Velcro straps attached to receiving side to prevent it from rubbing against body fabric during wash. Non-chlorine bleach only. Tumble dry in medium heat. Do not iron.
Q: How does my male dog urinate with suit on?
A: The ONESIE is designed for female dogs to easily urinate through back tail opening that also exposes rear end for urinating and defecating. For male dogs simply cut a circular opening inside circular stitch line on belly panel. To ensure best placement and size of opening, put garment on dog and use a marker to mark prepuce opening. This should be the center of your cut opening – staying inside stitch line.
