What sizes are available for the Hipetime XS Red Dog Recovery Suit?
The Hipetime XS Red Dog Recovery Suit is specifically designed for small dogs. Please refer to our size chart on the product page to ensure you select the correct fit for your dog's measurements. We do not offer custom sizing.
What materials is the suit made from?
The Hipetime XS Red Dog Recovery Suit is crafted from a soft, breathable, and stretchy fabric blend, primarily consisting of cotton and spandex. This allows for comfort and flexibility while providing necessary protection.
Is the suit easy to put on and take off?
Yes, the Hipetime XS Red Dog Recovery Suit features Velcro closures around the belly and legs, making it relatively easy to put on and take off. This is especially helpful for post-surgery or after grooming.
Can the suit be machine washed?
Absolutely! The Hipetime XS Red Dog Recovery Suit is machine washable. We recommend washing it on a gentle cycle with cold water and air drying to preserve its quality and elasticity.
Will the suit prevent my dog from licking or chewing at their wound?
The Hipetime XS Red Dog Recovery Suit is designed to significantly reduce the ability of your dog to lick or chew at their wound or surgical site. However, it's not a foolproof barrier, and constant supervision is still recommended.
Is the suit suitable for all types of post-operative care?
The Hipetime XS Red Dog Recovery Suit is suitable for a wide range of post-operative care needs, including after surgery, skin allergies, hot spots, and grooming. However, always consult with your veterinarian for specific recommendations.
Does the suit have any features to help with incontinence?
While the Hipetime XS Red Dog Recovery Suit can offer some protection against minor leaks, it's not specifically designed for dogs with severe incontinence. Consider a specialized diaper or absorbent pad for those cases.
How should I measure my dog to ensure a proper fit?
To ensure a proper fit, measure your dog's chest girth (around the widest part of their chest), neck circumference, and back length (from the base of the neck to the base of the tail). Compare these measurements to our size chart on the product page.
What is the suit's primary purpose?
The Hipetime XS Red Dog Recovery Suit is primarily designed to protect surgical incisions, wounds, and skin conditions from licking, biting, and scratching, promoting faster healing and preventing infection.
Does the suit restrict my dog's movement?
The suit is made from a stretchy fabric, so it allows for a good range of motion. However, depending on the fit and your dog's activity level, there might be some slight restriction compared to unrestricted movement.
Is the suit suitable for puppies?
Yes, the Hipetime XS Red Dog Recovery Suit can be used for puppies, provided the size is appropriate. Always supervise your puppy while they are wearing the suit to ensure they don't chew on it.
Can I use the suit for preventative care, like protecting against fleas or ticks?
While the suit offers some physical barrier, it is not designed as a primary defense against fleas or ticks. We recommend using appropriate flea and tick prevention products in conjunction with the suit.
How long should I keep the suit on my dog?
The duration your dog should wear the suit depends on their specific condition and your veterinarian's recommendations. Typically, it's worn until the wound is fully healed or the skin condition has resolved.
Does the suit come with any instructions or care guidelines?
Yes, we include a brief care guide with each Hipetime XS Red Dog Recovery Suit. Detailed care instructions are also available on our website's product page.
Is the suit breathable enough for warmer weather?
The suit is made from a breathable fabric blend, but it's not ideal for extremely hot and humid conditions. Monitor your dog for signs of overheating and remove the suit if necessary.
What happens if the suit doesn't fit properly?
Unfortunately, we do not offer returns or exchanges for fit issues, as we do not offer custom sizing. Please carefully review our size chart and measurements before making your purchase.
Does the red color of the suit fade after washing?
The red color is generally colorfast, but we recommend washing the suit on a gentle cycle with cold water and air drying to minimize any potential fading over time.
Is the suit designed to be worn 24/7?
While the suit can be worn for extended periods, it's generally recommended to allow your dog to have some time without it to prevent skin irritation. Follow your veterinarian's guidance on appropriate wear time.
Can I trim the Velcro closures if they are too long?
We do not recommend trimming the Velcro closures, as this could compromise the suit's functionality and secure fit. If the closures are excessively long, ensure they are properly aligned and secured.
Does the suit have a hole for a leash or collar?
No, the Hipetime XS Red Dog Recovery Suit does not have a dedicated hole for a leash or collar. You may need to temporarily remove the suit to attach a leash or collar.
