Product information

About this product

Help your dog heal in comfort and style with the MPS Medical Pet Shirt in a fun zebra print. Vet-approved and designed specifically for post-surgical recovery, this shirt gently wraps around your dog's body to protect wounds, stitches, hot spots, and skin conditions — keeping the area covered and free from licking, biting, or scratching without the need for a stressful plastic cone.

Made from soft, breathable stretch fabric, the shirt moves with your dog so they can eat, drink, sleep, and enjoy gentle walks just as they normally would. The secure yet comfortable fit keeps the shirt in place throughout the day and night, giving you peace of mind that the healing area stays protected at all times.

The zebra print design means your dog doesn't have to sacrifice style for recovery. Practical, washable, and kind to sensitive skin, this is the recovery solution that both dogs and their owners love. Available in multiple sizes to suit most breeds, simply measure your dog's chest girth and back length to find the perfect fit.

Instructions for use

Measure your dog's chest girth and back length before selecting a size. Slip the shirt over your dog's head and guide their front legs through the openings. Fasten the shirt securely around the body using the snap or velcro fasteners at the back, ensuring it sits snugly but not too tightly — you should be able to fit two fingers comfortably underneath. Check the shirt regularly to ensure it remains clean, dry, and correctly positioned over the wound or surgical site. Replace or remove the shirt under veterinary guidance once healing is complete. Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle and air dry.

Helpful answers for choosing gentle skin, itch and allergy support for your dog.

Is this recovery shirt suitable for all dog breeds and sizes?

Yes, the MPS Medical Pet Shirt is available in a range of sizes to suit most dog breeds, from small to large. It's designed to fit snugly without restricting movement, so whether you have a Chihuahua or a Labrador, there's a size to suit. We recommend measuring your dog's chest girth and back length before ordering to ensure the best fit.

Can my dog eat, drink, and go to the toilet while wearing the shirt?

Absolutely. The shirt is designed to allow full freedom of movement, so your dog can eat, drink, sleep, and toilet as normal. The open back design means it does not interfere with your dog going to the toilet, and the soft stretch fabric ensures your dog remains comfortable throughout the day and night.

How do I wash the recovery shirt?

The MPS Medical Pet Shirt is machine washable for easy cleaning. We recommend washing at 30°C on a gentle cycle and allowing it to air dry to preserve the fabric's elasticity and shape. Having a spare shirt on hand is a good idea so you always have a clean one available during your dog's recovery period.

Is this shirt a suitable alternative to a cone of shame?

Yes, this shirt is specifically designed as a comfortable, stress-free alternative to the traditional Elizabethan collar (cone). It prevents your dog from licking, biting, or scratching surgical sites and wounds without the distress, restricted vision, or bumping into furniture that comes with wearing a plastic cone. Many vets recommend recovery shirts as a gentler option for post-operative care.
