Yes, usually dogs and cats tolerate the suit. It’s like a onesie or a T-shirt except that the Medipaw® Protective Suit is anatomically designed for cats and dogs. For sizing, it’s better to choose slightly smaller as the material will stretch. We recommend placing the suit on the patient as soon after surgery as possible. This gives the pet a warm, secure feeling and allows for easier adjustment. Pay special attention when a wound is irritating your pet, as they may try to scratch, lick and sometimes bite around the affected area.

No. The protective pet garment can function as a cat shirt or a dog shirt if it protects the affected area; the pants aren’t always necessary. However, if your pet needs to wear the pants (to hold a diaper in place, etc.), s/he will need to secure it with the shirt for dogs and cats.

The colored stitching and logo designate size. Be sure to “measure twice and order once” according to the sizing chart with suggested breeds to help clarify the best size garment for your pet.

The cat pants have a larger tail opening so they can use the litter box without removal or opening of the suit (not for use with incontinence). You can always use a dog suit for a cat, which requires a smaller tail opening!

No. Medipaw® Protective Suits are all black with color-coded stitching for easy size identification.
