MIGOHI Dog Recovery Sleeves for Large Dogs - Soft Cone Alternative, Anti-Licking Wound Protector for Joint Care & Post-Surgery Healing (Blue) - Perfect for Post-Op, Hot Spots, Allergies & Skin Protection

I need a shirt with full-length sleeves to cover stitches from a lump removed on one leg and biopsy on the other of my dog's front legs, both about halfway between dewclaw and elbow on the back of her legs. She hates cold weather and already likes wearing a coat when it's cooler out, so it's working out much better than a cone! I ordered this shirt in XL from the sizing chart for my dog, who is a 60lb pittie mix with a ~26" chest (per her harness), 18-19" neck (where her collar sits closer to her shoulders), a 22-23" back, and has slightly short legs for her size.It fits PERFECTLY, with just a little stretch so it would fit a slightly larger dog as well. The legs stretch out a bit when she's squirming around getting comfortable on the couch so I folded the cuff up and they're just right for her. The folded end sits nicely between her carpal pad and paw. They would be long enough to fit a taller dog who's more "square" in size. The shirt stays on in her kennel overnight, even keeps the folded-up cuffs in place, but she got one paw stuck an inch or so inside the leg the first night. (Still didn't come off, though, which is the critical part!) The only other shirt I've found that fits her has buttons that came loose the previous night and let her lick her stitches.It's a very slick, soft material, almost the texture of swimsuit fabric but a bit thicker. It's not stiff like some of the ones made with neoprene sleeves; doesn't restrict movement at all. It's really stretchy so go slow when you're putting it on or the dog's nails can get stuck, stretching it into a little pocket along the side of the sleeve. It doesn't rip, you just have to back the sleeve out a bit and try again. I'm not sure how well it would breathe in hot weather so if you're buying it in a warm climate or during summer, keep an eye on your dog to make sure they don't overheat. The seams of the cuff and "elbow pads" are soft inside so even if they are near an injury or stitches, they shouldn't rub it. The zipper closure is the best thing EVER, but I wish it had a button or something to hold the top together by the dog's neck to make it easier to zip up (you zip it starting from the back end). I'll probably sew a little Velcro strap on myself if it bugs me enough.Follow the size chart and maybe size up if your dog is close to the largest end and this is a great shirt!
