Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

ETA Post-surgery update: My baby had her surgery and I am SO HAPPY I bought this! Super easy to use! She definitely would have been licking/chewing herself if this wasn't on. Also, at the time of surgery, she was 24.5 pounds and the large size is absolutely perfect. Not tight, not too loose, and she can freely move around. Added pictures of my pup for reference! :) My 4-month-old Bordoodle is scheduled for her spay next month and as a worried mama, I am trying to prep so things go smoothly. I have owned dogs my entire life, we have spayed and neutered all our dogs and this is the first time I am buying a product like this. So why did I buy it? Glad you asked. :) Well, any dog owner who has attempted to use the cone of shame (on thier dog...lol) knows that most dogs HATE it. Old school cones are cheaper, but they are hard plastic and energetic dogs will bump into your furniture/walls. Clunky, loud and not fun to hear at 3AM. Soft cones are better, but they cost more, some dogs don't like them and some dogs can remove it (yes, it happens). On top of that, cones can't be comfortable and let's face it, after a surgery, wouldn't you like your fur baby to be as comfortable as possible? Me too. So, enter this little beauty. It is soft, easy to put on and yes, your dog can go potty without completely removing it. Simply rip velcro on both sides and move it inside dogs legs. Reattach velcro so material is out of the way. Let dog potty and reverse the process to put it back on. Easy peasy! My pup is 20 pounds and the large fits perfect with enough room that she's comfortable, but can't lick herself. I'm positive she could wear the large even if she was 25 pounds and still be comfortable. The velcro is strong. My only worry would be durabilty (with me pulling the strong velcro on and off several times a day, will it rip?). I will update this review if anything negative happens, but right now, this item is so worth the money. I thought about being cheap and making my own from a baby onsie. Two problems with this...one, I think baby onsies won't fit as well on a dog (possible spoiler alert: dogs don't move like human babies...lol) and two, I remembered I don't sew. By the time I got all the materials, it wouldn't be worth the saving of a few bucks and the product would not be as effective (oh, and did I meantion I don't sew?) Thinking of buying a second one so I can wash one and still have one on my pup. Plus, she loves water and will plop herself IN water bowls if given a chance so I think an extra may be a good idea. I will update after surgery if anything changes. Click "helpful" if this review helped you. It is nice to know if my reviews help. :)
