Medical Pet Shirt cat

Applications

Post operative

• The Medical Pet Shirt reduces stress, fear and uncertainly after an operation compared to a standard collar.
• The Medical Pet Shirt will prevent your dog or cat touching the wound easily.
• The Medical Pet Shirt is not tight fitted around the belly - this allows air to circulate round the wound and helps to keep it dry.
• The interior of the Medical Pet Shirt is light blue making control of fluid from the wound fluids easier.
• When the wound leakes, a pants liner (nappies) can be inserted inside of the Medical Pet Shirt or between the double layers on the belly.
• Before the operation the pet will usually be shaved and an anaesthetic will cause its temperature to drop. After the operation the Medical Pet Shirt will keep your pet warm.

Skin diseases

• In cases of skin disease where protection is required the shirt will prevent possible damage to the skin caused by scratching or biting.

In season and incontinence

• The Medical Pet Shirt will reduce the risk of blood or urine strains in your house.
• In contrast to standard in season shorts it is very difficult for your pet to wriggle out of the Medical Pet Shirt. This is more hygienic for you and your pet!

Usage

The open ended back end makes fitting and removing the shirt very easy.

Step 1:

• With small dogs or cats (short legs) the head must be inserted first into the shirt followed by each front leg (separately) into the openings provided.
• With large dogs (long legs) it is easier to insert one front leg followed by the head and then the other leg into the provided openings.

Step 2:

• The Medical Pet Shirt should then be pulled back as far as possible over your pet's body.

Step 3:

• The two straps on the belly side are secured by threading them between the rear legs and then attaching them to the Velcro ® patch under the shirt near the base of the tail. Make sure that there is enough room for tail movement. After that secure the pressbuttons for extra security.
