Finally, an Amputation Recovery Suit for Tripawds!

Amputation surgery is ruff enough without forcing your pet to wear a cone of shame. Finally, you don’t have to. The new VetMedWear Amputation Recovery Suit for Tripawd dogs and cats too, is the kindest way to keep your pet’s incision (and other wounds) safe from harm.

It’s the First and Only Amputation Recovery Suit for Tripawds!

Amputation Recovery Suit for Tripawds

VetMedWear is a small company with one very big mission:

To provide comfort, mobility, and reduce stress for animals after their surgery by eliminating the need to use an E-Collar.

We met VetMed Solutions, creators of e-collar alternatives, at a vet conference last year. When we asked if they could create something to help Tripawd dogs and cats recovering from amputation surgery they immediately said “Of course!”

The result is the VetMedWear Amputation Recovery Suit. It’s the first and only cone of shame alternative made just for Tripawds. Just measure your dog or cat to determine the proper size, and indicate which leg your pet is missing when you order. They will ship a custom made surgery recovery suit just for your new Tripawd.

(Update, 1/21: It Also Works for New Amputee Cats, Too!)

Wyatt Approves His Cone of Shame Alternative

Seems like our very own Tripawds Spokesdog Wyatt Ray is always in recovery mode for something. This week he has a hot spot on his chest, and the VetMedWear Amputation Recovery Suit for Tripawds is the perfect solution to help it heal.

Soft, stretchy fabric.

The fabric is so nice. It’s made from 95% pure cotton, 5% lycra, breathable, hypoallergenic, and washable textiles. It’s also form-fitting but allows him to stretch and move around without a problem.

Anatomically Correct too.

We especially like how the blue suit for males has a urination hole. This allows us to take Wyatt outside while he’s wearing the suit. A small flap opens up, and attaches to the garment. It’s a great feature for medium to large dogs like him, but VetMedWear suggests taking the suit off before toileting smaller pets.

For girl Tripawds, the pink Suit has a unique trim at the back that let’s them perform all bodily functions while wearing the suit.

It goes on in seconds!

The fabric is soft and stretchy for full mobility.

We found it easy and fast to use. First we put Wyatt in a sit. Next we guided his legs into the Suit arm holes. Then we zipped it up. Easy peasy!

How to Measure Your Pet for the Suit

For cats, dogs and even rabbits!

Like any custom-tailored product, you’ll need to take careful measurements. Here’s how:

Step 1: Ensure your pet is standing straight on a hard surface.

Step 2: Measure the distance from the start of the neck to tail (a). Then measure the width around the upper body (b).

Step 3: Match the measurements to the size guide below.

It’s a post-op breakthrough for amputee pets!

What a joy to meet a company that finds Tripawds an important enough customer base to want to help. VetMed Solutions has a heart of gold, and we are so excited to bring this wonderful amputation recovery suit to Tripawd parents around the world!

  1. Our dog had a right hind leg and a tail amputation and is have problems with the sutures coming loose in the tail area.

    Would this outfit help. Can they go potty without removing the suit? Is there an internal pad that can be changed if it becomes dirty.

    • Yes, the recovery suit will help protect post-op wounds after any surgery. Be sure to select which leg is missing when ordering from Vet Med Wear.

      There is no “internal pad” but the suit can be opened for elimination needs so it does not need to be removed for going potty.

  2. How long does it take to get the recovery suit? my dog had a rear leg amputation on the 20th and the stitches come out one the 4th, so I wouldn’t need the suit after that

  3. This suit is great and our vet loved it too. But I ordered as measured plus bought one a size up…should have been 2 or 3 sizes up. May be the Labrador chest takes more room than most dogs?
