(5.893 reviews)

How do you measure your dog?

First, measure the widest part of the chest. Then measure the length of the front leg by starting at the armpit and running the tape down to the ankle. Does your dog fall between two sizes? Always choose the smaller size. Always take the coat thickness and body shape into account.

It’s important that the sleeve is not too tight, but also not too loose!
You don’t want your dog to reach the sensitive areas due to a loose fit or experience discomfort because the fabric is too tight.

Features of the
Recovery Double Sleeve®

Elbow pads for extra soft protection

The Recovery Double Sleeve® features padded elbows, the perfect solution for dogs recovering from elbow surgeries or those prone to pressure sores and joint issues. This extra layer of cushioning provides that extra bit of softness where your dog needs it most — right at the elbows!

Adjustable with press studs

While it’s nearly impossible for your dog to remove the Recovery Double Sleeve®, it’s designed for easy and time-saving use by pet owners and veterinarians. The combination of durable press studs and an inner velcro layer ensures the sleeves stay securely in place. We recommend always using at least two rows of press studs for the best fit. You can recognize an original the Recovery Double Sleeve® by one teal press stud!

► How to put on the sleeve?

Soft edges and long sleeves

The Recovery Double Sleeve® features extra-soft and thick bands around the chest and front legs. This elastic and protective finish prevents chafing, friction, and pressure on the skin, even during extended wear. If the sleeves are too long, you can simply fold it up.

Find the perfect fit!

The Recovery Double Sleeve® should fit like a second skin - comfy and snug, never too tight! You don’t want your dog to reach the sensitive areas due to a loose fit, or for the fabric to be uncomfortably tight and restrictive.

📏 How to measure:

  1. Measure the widest part of chest.

  2. Measure the leg length from armpit to wrist joint.

Between two sizes? Always choose the smaller size for the best fit. Also, consider your dog’s coat thickness and body shape when selecting the perfect size.

Works like a charm. The Suitical Recovery Double Sleeve covers lower legs and prevents our lab from continuous licking of her front legs until raw. I use them 1 week on and then one week off trying to break her of this habit. It is working.

Nellie

Our 9-year-old Great Dane chews on her old lady elbows until they bleed. Nothing has worked until I found the Recovery Double Sleeve. They are comfortable and she can't hurt herself anymore. Going to get another soon.

Michelle Wilson

Great idea. Started wearing when we could watch her during the day. After a few days she wore it every other night also. I’m buying another because it is working to heal the sore on her elbow with medicine. Having two should allow me to wash them until it heals. At 90 pounds, she is wearing Large, very secure snaps and Velcro. Hair comes off easily with tape roller.
