The original Recovery Suit® versus cheap imitations

Discover why the original Recovery Suit® stands out from cheap imitations that often compromise on quality, potentially affecting your pet’s healing process.

Prevention is better than cure.

When a dog or cat licks, bites, or scratches a wound, it’s essential to prevent this behavior to avoid infections and delayed healing. Traditionally, the collar was used for this purpose—an inexpensive and simple option for pet owners. But what does this mean for the pet?

A collar can be stressful for animals. It restricts their daily activities, limits their ability to move freely, and can even make it difficult to eat or drink. Additionally, sounds are amplified, often causing fear or disorientation.

So why should we make our pets feel unnecessarily uncomfortable during such a vulnerable period?

Recovery Suit^® – Pioneering Compassionate Care

In 2007, our founder introduced the first protective recovery suit for dogs, believing that pets deserve the same level of care we provide ourselves during recovery. This led to the development of the Recovery Suit ^®—a comfortable, stress-reducing alternative to the traditional collar.

Developed in collaboration with professional veterinarians, the Recovery Suitᴿ is designed to support faster healing after surgery, wounds, or skin conditions. We take pride in the quality and care that go into every handmade product:

Premium materials: Made from high-quality cotton and four-way stretch Invista Lycra^®, providing a lightweight, breathable, and flexible fit that feels like a second skin.
Secure fastening: The Recovery Suit ^® features a safe back closure, ensuring it stays securely in place while allowing pets to move freely without restrictions.
Enhanced airflow: Extra space around the abdomen promotes air circulation, which aids in faster wound healing, especially after neutering or spaying.
Reduces stress: Designed to minimize stress during recovery, allowing pets to move, rest, and heal comfortably.

Why cheap imitations fall short

While many lookalikes may seem similar at first glance, they often cut corners on essential features, which can negatively impact your pet’s recovery. Here are the key differences:

Unsafe closures: Some imitation products use zippers or snap buttons along the back, which can easily come undone or even cause injuries. Additionally, fur can get caught, leading to pain and discomfort.
Inferior materials: Many imitation suits are made from synthetic fabrics like nylon and polyester, which trap heat and moisture, potentially slowing down wound healing and increasing the risk of infection.
Inconsistent fit and quality: Without the same level of precision and craftsmanship, these products often don’t stay in place properly, compromising the protection your pet needs.
