DRESS UP YOUR PET DAY

Today, on January 14^th, it’s dress up your pet day, but is it ok to dress up your pet? Dressing up your dog or cat ‘just for fun’, for example putting on a pumpkin costume for Halloween or a Christmas costume during the holidays, can be quite stressful and uncomfortable for your furry friend. Such costumes are often quite uncomfortable and restrict movement, they are often made of non-breathable material and could be unsafe for your pet.

(Medical) protective apparel for pets, on the other hand, is safe for pets and their environment and protect for example after surgery, during recovery, in case of fear and anxiety.

After a medical procedure

Does your pet suffer from a medical condition or does he need surgery? Aftercare is essential for a good recovery. Protective apparel like the Recovery Suit® covers and protects your dog or cat and its environment during recovery, after a medical procedure, with a skin condition, when in heat or light incontinence.

To keep your pet cool

Dogs can’t sweat with sweat glands, as humans can. And where humans can take off a jacket, a dog’s coat remains warm and its body temperature can rise easily. Do you want to prevent heat stress in your dog? Try the DRY® Cooling Vest. This comfortable and easy to refill vest keeps your dog cool during and after a walk or whenever cooling is needed. After filling it with water, the DRY® Cooling Vest will start cooling for one to three days. Thanks to the patented DRY® system, the vest will not become wet or moist during use.

To calm your dog

A medical procedure, pain during recovery and itching due to skin problems can be stressful for your dog. Due to stress, your dog could lick or bite its front legs excessively. This could lead to hot spots or other (skin) problems. Therefore, it is important to protect the problem area on your dog’s front leg with the Recovery Sleeve®. The Recovery Sleeve® has an additional advantage. Thanks to the adjustable closure and soft stretch band, the sleeve offers a gentle pressure around the dog’s chest. This pressure can have a calming effect on dogs.

Consult your veterinarian when you want to use protective apparel for medical purposes. Your veterinarian can recommend a suitable treatment. Keep monitoring your pet regularly to make sure the fit is not too tight. We recommend keeping your pet under supervision of a responsible adult at all times while using medical protective apparel.
