Comfortable Protection for Healing Front Legs

The Suitical Recovery Sleeve® is a practical, vet-approved alternative to bandages and bulky dressings. Designed to cover and protect your dog’s front leg or elbow, this recovery sleeve helps prevent licking, scratching, or biting of wounds, sutures, or skin conditions, supporting a faster and stress-free healing process.

Whether your dog is recovering from surgery, dealing with an injury, or managing a chronic skin issue, this soft and breathable sleeve offers the protection they need without restricting movement.

Key Benefits:

  • Promotes faster healing by protecting wounds and preventing interference.
  • Comfortable elbow support to reduce pressure and irritation.
  • Ideal after surgery, for skin conditions, hotspots, or injuries.
  • Easy to put on and take off, with a secure fit.
  • Can be used on either front leg – just rotate as needed.
  • Machine washable for easy care.

Designed with your dog’s comfort and recovery in mind.

Note: Always consult your vet before using recovery wear on surgical or medical sites.

Protects ointments and bandages

The Recovery Sleeve® is suitable for covering and protecting ointments, bandages, sutures, and wounds for example. Thanks to the Recovery Sleeve® the dog cannot bite, scratch, or lick the ointment/bandage, but he can still move freely.

After a medical procedure

Has your pet had a medical procedure near or on the front leg?

The Recovery Sleeve® protects wounds and/or sutures on the front leg. Thanks to the comfortable fit, the animal can recover in complete freedom. Less stress for a faster recovery

Alternative to a traditional collar

A professional alternative to a collar or cone. The Recovery Sleeve® covers and protects the front legs against licking, biting and/or scratching instead of covering the dog’s entire head. By restricting your pet’s head with a collar, sounds are amplified, movement is restricted, and pets will bump into furniture. This often results in more stress. That is why we developed an animal-friendly alternative...the Recovery Sleeve®.

Overgrooming

Licking and scratching behaviour can be caused by several factors, like hot spots, wounds, allergies, stress or skin conditions. Due to excessive licking or scratching, the wound or affected area could become larger and even infected. If the dog licks his front leg(s) excessively, the Recovery Sleeve® offers the right protection.

Skin conditions

Like the Recovery Suit® covers and protects hot spots, wounds, and other skin conditions on the animal’s torso. So the problem area can heal in complete freedom. If the problem area is on the dog’s front leg(s), the Recovery Sleeve® or the Recovery Double Sleeves® could be used.

Guides

How to measure your dog

To get the best size we recommend you;

  1. Measure the inside of your dog's leg.
  2. Measure your dog's chest going across the shoulder blades.

If your dog is somewhere between two sizes, we recommend choosing the smaller size.

3X Small 27-33cm/10.6-13" 10cm/3.9"

Care Instructions

For longer usage, it is possible that the print and the label could fade over time. With the washing instructions below, this process can be delayed. Washing, maintaining and handling of delivered items always remains the responsibility of the customer.

Instructions:

Always turn inside out for washing

Fasten all press studs before washing

We recommend using a laundry bag

Wash the Recovery Sleeve® up to a maximum of 90ºC/194ºF

Never put the Recovery Sleeve® in the dryer! Hang it out and let it air dry

Do not iron directly over the print and never too hot

Do not use bleach or other chemicals to clean the Recovery Sleeve®.

Using bleach and other chemicals can cause irritations to your dog’s wound, surgical area, hotspots or more…!

TIP! To ensure that your dog remains protected, two Recovery Sleeve® are often purchased. While one pair can be washed, the other can be worn. When your dog needs to wear the Recovery Sleeve® longer than a week, it’s always better to have a back-up pair!

Suitical front leg sleeve for dogs - excellent quality

This product is excellent - even the packaging is professional and high quality. I bought the XL for my Dutch Shepherd. The leg length was perfect, but the shoulder strap was a bit big, so I ordered another in L which was better. The fabric, stitching, poppers etc are all of a very high quality. While I did still have to keep him in a cone when he was on his own, I was able to give him a break when under supervision so he had more freedom of movement. Highly recommend this product and Simply2Pets.

Amazing service

Struggled for almost a year to find a suitable covering for our Border Terrier's poorly leg. Oh, how we wished we'd found suitical before....the best product from the best supplier.
If Carlsberg did pets (and all that!!!)

Ordered two of these for our small labrador to cover a post-op would on her leg. Delighted they arrived very quickly (less than 2 days). May have ordered a size too large but the multi-poppers and velcro means it is easily adjustable and seems to work very well. Thank you!
