Manifesting Happiness
Unlike the traditional e-collar, also known as the “cone of shame”, our recovery suits allow your dog to move, hear, see, and eat naturally, eliminating the stress caused by the cone. Consider pairing your recovery suit with other stress relieving products such as calming pheromones, food enrichments to keep your dog mentally stimulated while it rests, and high value treats to make medicating your dog a pleasurable experience for them.
Surgery Checklist
Surgery estimate - This will give you information on the doctor’s plan for the day. Does my dog need bloodwork before surgery or will the vet run that in-house day of surgery? Doing bloodwork in advance will likely save you money but may not be worth the stress if your dog gets anxious with every vet visit. Post surgical monitoring - After surgery your dog should rest comfortably in a limited space. This does not need to be a crate, but they should have limited access to the house. Who will give my dog bathroom breaks? How many days do they need confinement?. Recovery suit by Laika’s Laundry - Ask your veterinarian about getting a recovery suit from Laika’s Laundry, for a happy and healthy recovery. Medication plan - Most antibiotics and pain medications need to be given every 12 hours. Who will be available to medicate? Are you planning on getting medications from your vet or can the prescription be called into a local pharmacy?
Negative Effects of Stress
Stress triggers the release of hormones and chemicals that can disrupt the gut microbiome and cause inflammation. This leads to an imbalance in the digestive system often resulting in stomach upset, and food avoidance, making it harder for the body to fight off infection. Reducing stress will allow your dog to recover faster by decreasing the risk of digestive upset, stress colitis, and weakened immune system.
