Product information

About this product

When your dog is recovering from surgery, a front leg wound or a skin condition, protecting the affected area without causing additional stress is one of the most important things you can do as a pet owner. The Luna & Milo Copper-Infused Front Legs Recovery Body Shirt is purpose-built to do exactly that — offering a gentle, secure and comfortable alternative to the traditional cone of shame.

Crafted from soft, stretchy fabric infused with copper fibres, this recovery shirt wraps snugly around your dog's body and front legs, keeping wounds, surgical sites and skin irritations covered and protected from licking, biting or scratching. The natural antimicrobial properties of copper help create a cleaner healing environment, reducing the risk of bacterial contamination and supporting faster recovery.

The close-fit design moves with your dog, allowing them to walk, rest and go about their daily routine with far less frustration than a rigid cone allows. The breathable material helps prevent overheating, while the easy-on design makes dressing and undressing straightforward for pet owners — particularly important when wounds need to be checked or treated regularly.

Suitable for post-operative recovery, hot spots, skin conditions, insect bites and general wound protection, this shirt is a practical, vet-friendly solution that prioritises your dog's comfort throughout the healing process. Available in a range of sizes to suit different breeds, the Luna & Milo recovery shirt is an essential addition to any dog owner's first aid toolkit.

Instructions for use

1. Select the correct size by measuring your dog's chest girth, neck circumference and body length using the Luna & Milo size guide. 2. With your dog standing or lying calmly, slide the shirt over their head and gently guide each front leg through the appropriate leg openings. 3. Fasten any closures to ensure a snug but comfortable fit — you should be able to slide two fingers beneath the fabric. 4. Check that the shirt fully covers the wound or surgical site and that your dog can move freely without restriction. 5. Check the wound at least twice daily by carefully removing the shirt. 6. Wash the shirt regularly at 30°C on a gentle cycle and air dry flat. Always follow your vet's specific post-operative care instructions throughout the recovery period.

Is this suitable for all dog breeds and sizes?

This recovery shirt is available in multiple sizes to suit a wide range of breeds, from small dogs through to larger breeds. It is important to measure your dog carefully using the size guide provided, paying close attention to chest girth, neck circumference and body length, to ensure the best fit and most effective coverage of the front legs and surrounding area.

How does the copper-infused fabric help my dog's recovery?

Copper has natural antimicrobial properties that help inhibit the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms on the fabric surface. This creates a cleaner environment around wounds, surgical sites and skin irritations, reducing the risk of infection and supporting faster, more comfortable healing. The copper is woven into the fabric fibres rather than applied as a coating, so the properties remain effective throughout the garment's lifespan.

Can my dog wear this shirt all day and night?

Yes, the shirt is designed to be worn continuously during the recovery period. The lightweight, breathable fabric allows airflow to the skin, helping to prevent overheating or irritation. However, we recommend checking the wound or surgical site at least twice daily when you remove the shirt for cleaning or inspection, and always follow the specific post-operative care guidance provided by your vet.

How do I wash the recovery shirt?

The shirt should be washed regularly during your dog's recovery to maintain hygiene. Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a mild, pet-safe detergent. Do not tumble dry, bleach or iron the garment, as this can damage the copper-infused fibres and reduce their antimicrobial effectiveness. Air dry flat away from direct heat. Having a spare shirt on hand during washing is recommended for uninterrupted protection.
