My dog got attacked by another dog and was left with two wounds on a front leg that both needed several stitches, one of which had to be closed with the help of buttons. This sleeve was a huge help in making her recovery more tolerable as my backyard is a forest with dirt and ivy and sticks and blackberries, etc., but also her favorite potty spots. There were lots of snaps on the sleeve, which made it easy to adjust for her size while also being secure. (She's a 60 pound lab mix, and I bought the large. Leg length was perfect, but she was on the small end of the girth. Still fit since the snaps made it so adjustable-- the was just a lot of overlap on the back.) The elastic cuff at the ankle was perfect to prevent dirt and dust from rising up into the wounds, and the sleeve protected her stitches and buttons from snagging on sticks and things. It also allowed her to be walked without a cone since it provided enough of a barrier to prevent the curious lick. (Don't leave your cone-prescribed dog coneless, though, when unattended! They could definitely do damage through the sleeve.) Vet approved since the cotton is breathable and the sleeve wasn't tight around the wounds. SO glad I bought this, but I hope i never have to use it again!
