This is easy to put on, cos you do not need to stretch it to fit over his head like a jumper, as with other dog vests. Also easier cos it does up along the back. Sizing seems accurate – I went primarily by chest size and weight. The instructions for measuring back length are not very clear. Also the designated cut out for a male dog's willy is well positioned. So given that and the design around the bum end, it means that your dog can cheerfully wear this out and about and pee and poo without having to have it removed. All good.My only reservations are 1. that the material is pretty thin. At the mo this is not a problem, as otherwise it seems well made with good seams etc. 2. the neck opening is pretty generous and as a result he has managed to pop out of the vest overnight. As he is wearing it to stop him licking and biting at a surgical wound, this is a bit concerning. That said I only got this one cos he had got out of the MPS vest I had from the vet. Must be my dog!PS This is 7 days in to using this vest. A frustrating aspect of using this is the ease with which it comes off. I have realised that this is due to the nap of his hair. Being a smooth haired terrier, his hair lays close to his body and points backwards (towards his bum, of course). The result of this is that the stretchy knit fabric catches on his hair. It easily slides down his body, but cannot ride back up because of the lay of his hair which catches and holds it in place. The overall effect is that the vest slowly inches its way down his bod as he moves about. Even just sitting down seems to shift it down his back by an inch, and it does not ride back up. Eventually it is so low down he either gets his back legs inside and thus kicks it off or it eventually slides down over his shoulders and falls off. I guess that the vest works perfectly on wooly or longer haired pooches, but for a short smooth haired hound you may well have the same problem. This was also the problem with the MPS vest, which is also made of stretch knit fabric.The key to resolving the problem is to sew in a fixed length of non-stretch strap or collar onto the stretch fabric neck. This should be the same fit as the usual collar. It works because it stops the collar riding back over the shoulders. Job done.

Bought two of these for my cavachon post surgery of being spayed. Didn’t like the thought of my little girl having to wear one iftnoseconesfor10 days. These suits are brilliant, easy to put on, lightweight and didn’t even have to undo the poppers for her to go to toilet. She’s 4.5 kilos and the medium fitted her perfect.

My little yorkie had to be spayed and instead of having a horrible lampshade collar on she had this little medi vest ... she never once attempted to bite or lick the wound . I could still give her plenty of cuddles . It’s only a week since the operation and she has completely healed with no wound infections...

Arrived quickly and well packaged.Ordered the XL for our 17.5kg collie and it's a perfect fit.Super soft fabric ensures no chafing post surgery and extremely easy to fit.

This suit is lovely and soft and fits my dog perfectly. She’s a small cocker spaniel 9.5kg and athletic in build. She is very comfortable wearing it so far.

Well made more for toy dogs, was way to small for my lhasa but lovely product returned with no hassle

This was perfect for my dog after his hernia op, he looked very comfy & he was happy walking around. Better than haveBig plastic cone round his head.

My dog was neutered (undescended) and I needed an alternative to the cone. He could not get to his food or water properly and was eternally head-planting into the ground and plants on walks in an attempt to get a good sniff (his cone was always muddy around the rim as a result). It was clear he was getting frustrated on toilet walks as he would just sit and protest on the spot. I started taking the cone off on walks (he is always distracted by things outside, no threat of licking wound) and when he was trying to eat or drink. This outfit is GREAT in giving your dog a bit of freedom and protection at the same time. Mine is a 3.1kg 1.5 year old fourche terrier (mini Yorkie/westie mix). His body length is roughly 30cm and I would describe his proportion as long and slim. The small is a good fit and there's a nice stretch to the fabric. He seems happier and comfortable in it, even with the hole not cut. I primarily use this as an indoor outfit so he can access food and water more easily. Highly recommended for frustrated and normally hyperactive dogs.
