The lick sleeve worked great. My dog didn't have to wear a cone because of having the lick sleeve on. He never chewed on it and it kept his incision covered while healing. I'm glad that it is reversible as he now has to have surgery on his other knee. Great idea I would recommend this product to any dog owner who's dog has to have knee surgery. I found it easier to take off and put back on when a Male dog needs to go pee then trying to undo and hold it out of the way. Soft material no rubbing and easy to use. Loved it.

Working so well we are ordering a 2nd so she can wear one while the other is getting washed. First thing we’ve found that allows her freedom of movement without compromising a chronic leg wound. Very pleased!!

Our Golden Retriever had his ACL repaired and the vet sent us home with the traditional cone. We noticed how withdrawn and depressed he seemed with the cone. We decided to look for something else and came across the Lick Sleeve. After reading all the positive testimonials we went ahead and ordered one and had it shipped over night. Within a few hours of wearing the Lick Sleeve we saw a change in him. He seemed relieved to have that cone off and have his freedom back. Two weeks after surgery and he is healing fast. He has become so use to taking off the Lick Sleeve to go out to the bathroom and then putting it back on to the point where he picks up his leg to slip the Lick Sleeve on. Thank you for an amazing product.

Arrived quickly. Easy to put on. My dog hasn't had surgery yet, but we are already sure this will definitely help in her healing...no licking!!!
We tried it on her and she seemed very comfortable with it.
Monique F.
The belly band needs to be bigger and is a little hard to put on if you dog is lying down. Over all a good idea. Leg piece needs to be wider so it doesn’t slide off the knee with the incision and irritate the wound. Material could. be more waterproof. Include sizes for dogs 150 lbs plus.
Wendie R.
Super soft and worked exactly as expected.
Anastasia W.
OMG! Lifesaver! I can sleep, my pup can sleep comfortably!!! This is awesome and I’m so glad I found it for his knee surgery.

Lick Sleeve was amazing to work with. My dog is a Beagle/Black Lab mix. Her body is Black Lab, but her legs are Beagle. I ordered a Large, got it, fit well on the body, but the leg was super long. Spoke with someone at Lick Sleeve, they immediately sent a medium. Got that one the next day. The medium was perfect in the leg, but super tight around the body. Finally decided to go with the large and just adjust the leg the best we can. They took amazing care of our needs with our strange sized pupper. My dog doesn't mind the sleeve and leaves it alone. It's amazing. She is having a cyst removed next week on back left leg and this will definitely play a big role as she is scared of the cone. Thank you Lick Sleeve for your product and outstanding customer service!
Lauren L.
Our sheepadoodle Gigi is on day four of her TPLO procedure and the lick sleeve has made her much more comfortable. It protects her incision and prevents her from licking or biting at the area . When we left the surgical center they gave us one of those giant plastic cones to put on her. We were so happy we had purchased the lick sleeve prior to her procedure! We highly recommend it!
Lynn I.
Jack finds the LickSleeve much more comfortable than the 'cone'
Theresa S.
This was very easy to put on and Ross seemed comfortable with it. It did the job of protecting his surgical incision while it healed without the use of the dreaded cone!
Trish B.
The Lick Sleeve has been a game changer! Our dog is sleeping better and is much happier as he recovers from TPLO surgery.
Frederick G.
Would have preferred the large size but website said unavailable. We have made the xtra large work on our 80 lb lab by rolling up the leg 2 inches and sewing it. Came over nite with expedited shipping. Excellent service. A little expensive, but much better than the huge padded cone of shame the vet said she needed if we didn’t use a sleeve to keep her from licking the incision. I sent an email about cleaning the Licksleeve and got no response back. We pretreated and washed it in cold water and dryer low heat and dried quick. That worked ok. It worked well for us.
The Fetch F.
Love the way this works, so much better than the lamp shade :). We love it and would highly recommend.
Jim b.
Used the Lick Sleeve on our Rottweilers first right leg TPLO and now two years later getting ready for the left leg next week. Lick Sleeve is a great product and makes the long recovery period just so much easier. Thanks for a great product
Marcia F.
My Giant Schnauzer hates the ecollar but was licking her incision. I ordered the lick sleeve and it was delivered the next day! Thank you! It fits well and is easy to get on and off. I wish it were thicker as she still licks the area. I have cut a sock and put it under the sleeve and another one over the sleeve to reinforce the protection of the incision.
Anne T.
Licksleeve is so much nicer than a cone for all involved! Definitely worth it.
Karen B.
The lick sleeve is a nice product however it didn't work for my dog. She is an avid licker and figured out how to remove it the first day. Once she figured it out, no amount of tightening would keep it up. The customer service is excellent though and they stand behind their money back guarantee so I wouldn't hesitate to buy this and try it for your dog. Many people have success with this product and if it works its way better than the cone.
Rodney S.
Seems to be keeping our aggressive licking Rottie away from his surgically repaired knee that has been an open wound now for 2 years. At least now we don't have to deal with the cone of shame and we don't have to watch him throughout the night. Still early in the process but is keeping him from licking the wound directly.
Claire G.
The Lick Sleeve is our number 1 tool in our dog’s TPLO recovery. She has not seemed to mind having it on and it has allowed us to not have her in a cone. Not having to worry about Blue licking or biting at her sutures has been such a relief, as the meds to sedate her haven’t been overly sedating in this very energetic girl. I HIGHLY recommend the Lick Sleeve. We got a medium for our 65# pitbull. We do have to roll up the end as it’s long. I would recommend buying 2, to have one on while washing one.
Kaitlyn M.
Great replacement for the cone, had to cut the bottom a little bit as it was too long for our Shiba's leg but otherwise was just what we were looking for.
Kristina V.
The lick sleeve has been a life saver. My pup will not go out or do anything with the cone on. She is able to do her business and sleep comfortably with just the lick sleeve and I know her incision is safe. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
My pup is 54-56 pounds and was in between sizes. I ordered a large, it fits but I think I could have ordered a medium for a better fit. To be honest we often have sizing issues with her since she’s right in the middle.
Mary N.
Haven’t had to use it, maybe she’ll need it need it as the incision heals!
Chris D.
Our dog Abby had TPL oh surgery and is now three weeks out. The lick was incredible because it meant no cone! I still slept near her the first few nights to make sure she had no problem keeping it on but she did great. I kept it on her most of the time but gave her breaks occasionally to make sure it didn’t chafe her. It’s so nice that it is reversible so if she ever has to have her other leg done you can use it again.
Temple L.
My girl cried for two days straight with the cone. Once I put the lickit sleeve on Her she fell asleep. No more crying , never chewed at her leg or tried to get to the stitches. It kept her leg protected and clean. I finally got some sleep also.
Elaine C.
Needed something desperately because my dog hated the cone after his CCL surgery. I ordered the wrong size by mistake. I called and customer service was amazing. Shipped out the correct size the same day. To make it even better - it worked perfectly. What a lifesaver for an anxious dog.
Joanne G.
Our fur angel had ACL (TPLO) surgery a month ago. He had 40 staples in his left leg. With the lick sleeve we were able to get through the month without the cone !! Amen . We did sleep with him first few nights and after he got the bandages off to see if he would tug at the stitches but he didn’t. We followed the TopDog TPLO recovery plan.
Lick sleeve is the best !!! We bought two and you have to remember to remove before potty walks …. Oops.
It’s also reversible for Right or Left … pricey but well worth it. Our dog didn’t go through frustration, depression and discomfort of the cone.
Bernita G.
I really like the Lick sleeve and dog seems to be very comfortable. My dog had to wear the sleeve for three weeks but it was a little inconvenient when it had to be removed. I wish it had more accessibility for our dog to potty.
Patricia F.
Best thing I have found to not subject my girl to ecollar( cone of shame) while her knee heals from the removal of implants from surgery of TPLO..never once with this sleeve did she attempt to lick her incisions. Infact she enjoyed the sleeve so that she had more freedom in movement, eating, etc. Great product which I even recommended to my vet.
Jack S.
Well made product; soft and durable material that Ryder doesn’t mind at all. The 4 star rating is directly related to sizing;
not quality. Ryder is between a large and XL so it doesn’t fit quite as nicely as we expected. All and all, worth the $ and much better than the cone of shame
Amanda G.
My dog just had TPLO surgery which requires a lot of kennel time. The surgeon suggested this as an alternative to the cone of shame. It works great!! She's more comfortable and can maneuver her kennel with ease. Can't recommend this enough!
Linda S.
My 10 year old Sydney a lab mix/ 82 pounds had TTA surgery a week ago. We ordered a Lick Sleeve XL and it has been a real lifesaver. No cone collar needed to keep our dog from licking sutures. Easy to put on and take off. Wound healing beautifully! Highly recommended!
Jason K.
This is a game changer for dogs that have TPLO surgery. It covers the incision and even when he gets the urge to lick it the outside of the lick sleeve gets wet but inside stays dry. My dog Cooper has had two other surgeries and had to wear a cone, he marked up the drywall around every doorway but with the lick sleeve on the drywall is safe. I love how the fabric is soft and stretchy to fit snug so it doesn’t fall down or bunch up. So far this has been an excellent purchase. Thank you
Janette Y.
This was a perfect way to ditch the cone of shame after our dog had TPLO surgery..It fit true to size and was a very comfortable alternative.. I highly recommend!
Karen P.
For my 35 lb 10 yr old dog who just had CCL surgery this sleeve has been just the answer for freeing him from the cone of shame. Using this allows him to get around without bumping into things with the cone, enables him to drink water from a bowl and enjoy a chew toy while we are not able to monitor him, whereas with the cone he cannot do anything like that. He wears size medium and it is a little too long in the leg, but we are able to roll it up and it works just fine. He does not seem to fuss or mind when I put it on and he is able to move around well in it.
There were a few times in the middle of the night when it came off (he sleeps with us). I think somehow he wriggled around and the part that wrapped around his belly just moved down and it came off except for around his ankle where it was still on. However, the wound on his leg wound was accessible during that time. I do put it on as tight as I can without causing him a problem, but the fabric is pretty stretchy. It just must the the way he moves around on the bed over the course of the night that it wriggles down. I have not had any problems with it staying on during the day when he is moving about some or resting in his pen.
I am very happy to have it. It has really made his recovery much more pleasant and easy to manage! Thank you for creating such a helpful device.
Alejandro V.
Let me just say I've tried everything u could think of and found online on my 14 year old German Sheppard mix. Everything I had tried just didn't work... from cones to different type of cones, etc .
I started doing some deeper research and saw this product, I started looking at the pictures and how it was designed , I thought to my self - this is probably going to work. I was so right and so thankful for this product ! My dog has finally healed from her wound and it's so comfy on her ...it doesn't bother her at all, unlike thr other cones etc. And it even looks funner on her haha...like pajamas or something. I highly recommend this !!!
Deb M.
My Welsh Cardigan Corgi, Jade, will be having surgery soon, and I was concerned that the LickSleeve would be too long for her legs. The folks at Customer Service were really helpful, and recommended a size medium, explaining that I can fold or cut the sleeve leg to size. Well, it fits really, really well. I am going to cut the sleeve leg instead of folding a cuff because it has a narrow opening that is a little tough to get that big corgi paw through without a little struggle, and I want it to go on as smoothly as possible for Jade’s comfort. Thank you!
katie o.
this was the best thing I have purchased for my dog! He had surgery and had stitches right on his back "knee" area that was very tricky spot and he wanted to lick it all day long and the cone did not do any good as the cone the vet gave me was rubbing against the stitches and the bandages kept falling off. I was looking for a solution for my dog that was not me cutting up old clothes to make him something - this was the perfect solution. It fit him perfectly - he did not lick his stitches when it was on and he was comfortable wearing it and he did not have to wear the cone- it took a lot of stress off of me and off of my dog. I think this product should be sold and offered at veterinarian's offices. People may not realize that there is another option-- people would pay for this product.
Joseph P.
My pup had TPLO surgery and the cone was just NOT working for her. She was noticeably depressed because of it, and after three days I just couldn't take it anymore (I'm sure she was fed up too). I asked my vet for recommendations for a cone alternative - and they suggested the Lick Sleeve among other items. The lick sleeve is great because it not only prevents her from getting to her surgery site, but also prevents our other animals as well. It's been amazing. ALSO - the team at Lick sleeve is very responsive to any questions or needs you may have. A+ service!
Susan H.
Great product. So much better than the collars!
Danielle M.
It’s perfect! Exactly what we needed and it’s so easy to get on and off
Karen M.
Fantastic idea, no cone is needed, vet approved. The reason I returned it was because 2nd opinion said Twinkle didn’t need surgery. Thank you for the fantastic service,easy return and such compassion.
Ashley P.
Life changing!
Our pup was banging into everything with her cone and we had to keep her and our other dog separated to prevent licking, it was terrible.
She was a new dog after this arrived, and it made things much easier for us as well!
Sharon J.
This is a great product. We tried everything we could think of to cover up my greyhound's leg after surgery. Nothing worked until we found the Lick Sleeve. We highly recommend it!
Renee K.
My 9 1/2 year old dog had TPLO surgery on her left leg. I knew from past experiences that the E-cone was not an option. She gets panic attacks when one is placed on her to a point where the doctors were afraid she’d have a heart attack or injure herself badly. The surgeon told me about the lick sleeve and I ordered one and it has been a God send. I used it in conjunction with a thick towel cone I made for around her neck for sleeping at night or if I had to leave her alone. Only time the sleeve came off was if she was right next to me and I can keep a close watch on her. She just had her staples removed yesterday and I’m still using the lick sleeve as a precaution for another week to be on the safe side. The chances of my dog needing TPLO on her right leg is high and knowing I can reverse the lick sleeve and use on the right side if need be is just another great reason that made me purchase it.
I also wanted to give a shout out about their Customer Service, it is such a pleasure to have competent employees that actually answer the phone, help you and then do what they say they will do. I was also surprised by how fast after ordering the lick sleeve it arrived. I gave it 5 stars, if I could I would of give lick sleeve 10 stars and 10 stars to customer service.
Jody W.
Here’s my Joe watching t.v. 3 days after his ACL surgery. He is so much happier out of the cone! The added plus is that I don’t have to worry about my other dog licking the incision either!!!
Stevie F.
Complete life saver after my pups TPLO surgery. He can’t stand the cone of shame and was really upset the last time he had to wear one. With the stress of major surgery and activity restriction, the last thing I wanted to do was make him more uncomfortable. Having the lick sleeve has made recovery much more tolerable and I’m grateful it was recommended prior to surgery. Pup is a Dane mix with long legs, about 90lbs and the XL fits well.
Susan F.
The Like Sleeve has done exactly what we hoped it would do-it has protected our Golden’s ankle incision without chafing or binding, it has prevented him from licking the area , and it is easy to get on and off. So much better than the dreaded cone. We are absolutely sold on the product, and highly recommend it.
JILL R.
Love this product! it has saved our dog from having to spend a lot of time in a cone after his ACL surgery. wearing it doens't bother him at all. Well worth the cost.
Tammy N.
My 3 year old German Shepard had TTA surgery. He hated the cone of shame. I put this on him at night and it gave me so much peace. I was able to rest knowing that he wasn’t licking his stitches! I loved this product and would highly recommend it.
Frank P.
Our Mindy tore her acl. Knowing our sweet loving very active Labrador she would not have a cone. We bought a similar sleeve that was cheaper and it just kept falling off and getting tangled. So glad we found lick sleeve we are two weeks in have a long way to go but this keeps her from licking her stiches and easy to put on and off. A bit pricey but you get what you pay for.
Marsha K.
Overall the “Lick Sleeve” works very well. I wish I had known of it before Jasmine’s left TPLO surgery as I spent an exorbitant amount of $$ for overnight shipping. My vet saw it today and was very impressed. My only issue is sizing - Jasmine is 60 lbs and, according to the size chart, should wear the Large. I find this too loose going around twice as directed. But we will make do with it as she has surgery on her right ACL in 2 weeks so the “Lick Sleeve” will get a lot of use.
Katherine G.
Our vet couldn't emphasize enough to keep Cosmo from licking his incision! That is a big no no and could lead to complications! After two nights of no sleep, I found Licksleeve and ordered immediately. It arrived very quickly and was easy to put on my Cosmo who wasn't feeling his best following FTO surgery. What a lifesaver!! I can't say enough about how comfortable it is on him and how my anxiety lessened! I could walk away from his kennel cage and move freely knowing he was protected. We take walks and it stays on perfectly. He goes potty without difficulty even with in on! Thank you Licksleeve. This was well worth every dollar!
gisele r.
Great product! Cones and donuts are so bulky and unwieldy, and only add insult to injury for the poor animal. But the LickSleeve is easy to get on and off, and streamlined so our dog hardly even notices it. But it prevents her from bothering her stitches and incision, and that’s crucial.
Curtis H.
Works good but the dog can get out of it by rolling in the grass but just put it back on. Only two more day’s and stitches are out.
Constance T.
This sleeve was recommended by my veterinarian surgeon. My dog slips the cones usually used following a surgery or injury so this was perfect. She still licks the wound site but cannot reach the actual incision through the sleeve. A particular benefit of this product is it is interchangeable for left or right leg. My girl will be having the other leg operated on after the current one heals. Also, I looked at other similar products on other websites and, though the cost was far less, the attachment to my dog was by a string around the neck or some other less satisfactory method. The Lick Sleeve attaches around the pet’s waist with a secure buckle. Easy on, easy off for the human fitting it to the pet. I only wish I had ordered two so I could wash one and still keep the wound protected. Shipping is $28 so I will probably make due with what I have.
Katherine G.
Cosmo had FHO surgery and I went for 2 days with little or no sleep as my Vet emphasized how important it was for Cosmo not to lick his incision..and he is quite the licker! His Licksleeve arrived and what a lifesaver! He doesn't mind wearing it at all! Stays in place on our 10 minute walks, and be can pass stool with it on. Does need to be removed for urination but so wasy to put on..no issues! Thanks Licksleeve! We ❤ you!
Victoria S.
I wish that we knew about this a few months ago...our Aussie had a Hot Spot on left rear leg. She wore a Cone of Shame for a long time and could still get to the spot. Our Vet said that they become compulsive and it's really hard to heal. It would get better and she would start the process over, I searched for an alternative to the cone and boy it's making a huge difference. We call it her Skinny Jeans, she is not bothered at all with wearing it 24/7. It washes great and dries very Fast. Thanks for a great product!!!!
Ilene S.
Our dog, Harley, had TPLO surgery on his left hind leg. In lieu of him having to wear the uncomfortable cone/collar, we purchased the Lick Sleeve and decided to try it out. It was great and allowed him to be very comfortable while recuperating from his surgery. It also gave us piece of mind during the day but especially when we went to sleep to know he could sleep comfortably and safely. It's so easy to use and truly a great invention. We showed it to our veterinarian and she will be referring this to her patients as well.
Jennifer M.
Best thing ever! I’ve tried every rear leg wrap or “device” out there. The lick sleeve is 100% better than anything I’ve found. I’ve already told my veterinarian and local independently owned pet store about it. I also suggest that our ortho surgeon include a lick sleeve as part of the surgery “package”. I love the Lick Sleeve!
Erin W.
The Lick Sleeve changed our world!! It was so very, very nice to ditch the cone and use this on our post-TTA girl. It fit her wonderfully and she never even looked twice at it. We all have slept much, much better since moving to the Lick Sleeve. I wasn't sure whether or not our girl would be a Medium or a Large, so I called Customer Service. They encouraged me to order both and they would send me a postage-paid return label...how could I lose? The medium fit my 53 lb mutt (Chow mix) well and it is so super easy to use and obviously comfortable for her! Thank you for this fantastic product!! I already ordered a second sleeve for my in-laws...their dog had the Lateral Suture surgery done last week! Thank you again for all the help and an awesome product!!
Monette A.
You can tell a good company by the way they handle any issues and/or problems. Atlas had TPLO surgery and I needed Licksleeve to prevent him from reaching the incision. I received the product, but then a little after received an email stating that there was a defect and to send it back for a replacement. I was able to sew it myself to correct the defect and couldn't do without the product since I had to keep my dog from licking the incision. When I contacted Licksleeve and told them of the situation, they said "no worries, just keep the one I altered if it was working and not to worry about sending it back when I received the replacement." It was a happy accident since my mending seemed to work I now had two so that if he had an accident on one I had another to change into. Atlas hardly ever even noticed the product since it was so soft and comfortable. Here is is napping in the sun in the back yard. Thanks so much for such great customer service!
Kate W.
The Lick Sleeve is AWESOME! Our baby had to have surgery to remove a cancerous tumor and this is SO MUCH BETTER THAN the cone of shame. She hates the cone and sort of flips out whenever it's on. She LOVES her lick sleeve. She gets so excited to put it on. It fits well and has definitely been a great solution! I would recommend to everyone!
rob t.
Works great
Our dog doesn’t mind wearing it and has left her surgery site alone
Lana H.
Great solution to stop licking. It’s not too tight and fits well. My dog didn’t mind wearing it and left it in place.
Lisa H.
Our black Lab, River, had CCL surgery on her left leg 2 weeks ago. We are SO happy that we chose to use the Lick Sleeve during her recovery. It has been great not having to use the cone - she seems so much more comfortable. She can go outside and potty without us having to remove it. We only take it off during her at home physical therapy and that is just so we can make sure the incision and staples all look good. Our poor girl has to have surgery on her other knee in about 6 weeks. Thankfully, the Lick Sleeve can be used on either back leg because it is reversible!! The fabric is sturdy and well-stitched and seems really comfortable. I have washed it and then I hang it in front of a fan to speed up drying. LOVE IT!
And let me rave about the great customer service I experienced. I ordered the wrong size (my mistake, not their labeling) and contacted Lick Sleeve by email asking if I could be charged for another, sent a larger size and then return the wrong size to them. They responded quickly indicating that a larger replacement was on the way and that they were emailing me a postage paid return label. I couldn't believe it when I received the larger size the NEXT DAY!!! They didn't even charge me for the overnight shipping or the return postage on the wrong-sized item. Now that kind of service in this day is unheard of!!! We know of 2 other dogs in our neighborhood waiting for their CCL surgeries and you'd better believe me that I have told them about this must-have product. And we just received our August 2021 issue of Whole Dog Journal and they rated the Lick Sleeve with 4 paws - "As good as it gets. We strongly endorse the product". If you love your pet, you'd be crazy not to order this product. It will make both of your lives much happier during the trying time after surgery.
Teresa K.
Using the Lick Sleeve instead of the traditional e-collar made all the difference with our dog’s recovery. He was not stressed and was able to rest comfortably ( as you can see from the photo). It saved both he and the entire family much needed sleep. The Lick Sleeve was so easy to use, stayed on well and deterred him from licking or chewing his incision. I took it off when we went for his short walks. I ended up ordering two so that I could clean the one that wasn’t in use.
This is a brilliant solution! I look forward to your company designing Lick Sleeves for other parts of the body, as well. Maybe t-shirts for the chest area? Thank you!
Lynn G.
Purchased the Lick Sleeved for my English Springer Spaniel to wear after TPLO surgery. My intention was that it would totally replace the Elizabethan collar, but I found that she would lick the sleeve laying on top of the incision- irritating it. So instead, she wears the Lick Sleeve when I’m around during the day, when I can observe her- permitting her to groom, eat without making a mess, etc., and at night she wears the Elizabethan collar.
June P.
Worked very well after removal of knee tumor. Fit over bandage well. Dog seems comfortable in it
Ricky K.
Love the product, used on my dobie. Much better than the cone.
Julie J.
A wonderful invention for a woof recovering from surgery! Thank you!
Vicki J.
Outstanding customer service and outstanding product. Stress free healing, no more crashing around the house with the plastic collar, easy to use and adjust. When the first one arrived with a manufacturing defect, customer service made sure that a new replacement lick sleeve was immediately sent out. Quality all around.
Natalie B.
The Lick Sleeve has been a godsend! My Springer Spaniel just had her second cruciate ligament surgery, and she hates wearing an e-collar. The Lick Sleeve protects her sutures while preventing her from licking and pulling. She can also eat and drink easily. I wish this had been available after her first surgery!
Kathy K.
I wish I had known about this 6 months ago because that's how long we have been battling a sore spot following TPLO surgery. We've tried the cone (regular and inflatable), giant pool noodle, a 2 gallon paint bucket, tube socks, toddler pants, and every nasty tasting product in the universe to keep her from licking, and here we still are. I think we're going to finally heal for good with this! It doesn't keep the dog from licking, but she can't lick lick the wound directly as the fabric offers some protection, and overall it is really making a big difference in helping her heal. It fits her well (size L for my 73 lb Golden Retreiver), and she seems very comfortable in it. I only gave 4 stars because it started to tear after only 2 days wear - but the customer service is exceptional! I even got a phone call, and a new sleeve is being overnighted. You can't go wrong giving this a try!
Tanya H.
First, the most amazing customer service you could ever have. Very quick to answer questions, exchanged sizes no questions asked, and extremely helpful. I wanted something to be able to take the cone off my baby after surgery, and this did the job. Very easy to put on and seems to be comfortable for my doggy. I would highly recommend choosing the lick sleeve as an alternative to the cone.
Lacey B.
This is Porter’s second TPLO, the first time we used little kids pants and we would have to pull them up through out the night, these buckle and are fitted around his ankle so there is no slipping off during the night. Sleep savor for sure!
Tanya H.
First I want to say, what amazing customer service this place has. My baby fell right on the size of large and xl. I had several email correspondenceswith customer service, and they were right on with answering questions and helping solve any problems that came up. We did have to exchange a size, and they immediately sent out another size overnight. Totally amazing. My baby is out of her cone, having fun with life again thanks to this amazing lick sleeve.
Kristen P.
We love the material its made from and its great to use this instead of the cone after her TPLO surgery. Its really easy to get on our 60lb pit - we chose a size large from the size chart for her weight - but I think I should have done it by her waist size instead (would have been a medium). I do wish I could tighten the size large down more around her hips/waist area because she's skinny there - that's just how a pit bulls shape is. Highly recommend!
Rosa T.
Sleeve has worked great. Cone not needed at all. My lab had TPLO surgery so the sleeve has been a big help in his recovery. You do need to adjust periodically during the day. I bought an additional one!
LEE ANN R.
We all love the Lick Sleeve! Our 11 year old Golden Doodle just had cruciate surgery. She hasn't even looked at her incision since we put the Lick Sleeve onto her leg! She has not had to wear a protective collar! Thank you for creating such a great product!
Elizabeth N.
My dog had her surgery on Thursday. So far she hasn’t had any interest what is underneath. Ordered another one so when I wash one,she has another one to put on and don’t have to use cone.
Lynn G.
I love this and it's working great. My only complaint is that I couldn't find cleaning instructions anywhere.
Larry J.
Perfect fit. Works great!!
Lyn B.
Rhett will be having TPLO surgery Friday, so all we did was try at this point!
Super fast shipping and well made product!
Terry K.
My lab had TPLO surgery two weeks ago. I was happy to have the lick sleeve because he was very uncomfortable in the cone. But, at night I had to use the cone because he could work around the lick sleeve and get at the wound while I slept. But it was nice during the day, definitely protective and more comfortable during the recovery period.
I hope you can figure out how to leave it on while the male dog pees. I just ended up taking it all off when we went outside to pee, supervised. Thanks for inventing it!
Nancy S.
It is a great alternative to the cone of shame! It was effective and easy to use.
Deborah S.
Licksleeve fits comfortable with no sagging or bunching. My dog didn’t seem to mind wearing it at all!

ALL vets should recommend this. We asked ours about this vs the “cone of shame” and they said the cone is best. We told them “they are crazy not to sell this and how could they possibly compare”. They still disagreed but we are happy customers. Great product!!!

Perfect fit. XL for 115 lb. Rottweiler.

Was the perfect purchase to help heal a wound on our pet. After a week of wearing the sleeve she does not lick the wound.

We are only three days post TPLO but my baby is doing great. Stress free and comfy naps thanks to Lick Sleeve. She hasn’t even though about her incision.

The customer service provided was TOTALLY OUT OF THIS WORLD! The lick sleeve will be such a valuable asset after our July 6 TPLO surgery! Thanks for a great product!

This is my second pup that has had surgery for a torn ACL. The lick sleeve saved them from the dreaded cone! I highly recommend. I got a second one so I can wash one while they are wearing the other one. Worth every penny!

This is a necessity for anyone facing a TPLO on a working dog. I can’t say enough good things about it. That waist for us was the limiting size factor when ordering. I’ve got skinny waisted working dogs so defaulting to a size smaller worked better at first. As fur grew back, the XL worked better.

The sleeve helped so much w Marlie’s leg after surgery . She was still able to get at her leg with the cone on while she still had her staples in. After we got the sleeve it was a game changer , she would sometimes still get at it but she couldn’t get at the wound directly. I would highly recommend

I actually liked the Lick Sleeve much better than putting a cone on my dog. He still tried to lick through the sleeve but once he told enough times to stop he did. The one issue I had was trying to wrap the strap under his belly and keeping his “boy part” uncovered so he could go to the bathroom. Other than that no problem I certainly think the vets should be suggesting the sleeve instead of the dumb cone. We are now two weeks in after surgery and stitches come out in another day and look very good. Thank you.

The Lick Sleeve has been a blessing for my 4-year-old Pit/Great Dane mix, Zuri. She had TPLO surgery five days ago and was very nervous. I am so glad I didn't have to worry about putting a cone on her. She adapted to the Lick Sleeve right away and now can sleep and move around comfortably without the stress of the cone.

Cannot say enough positive things about the Lick Sleeve. Our GSP Dixie had ACL surgery & it was very important to keep her calm and unable to lick her wound; the Sleeve was a life saver in helping to accomplish both of those things. Surprisingly she also didn’t seem to even care that she had it on, it’s design seems to be quite comfortable for her. At her 8-week check-up, her surgeon said her incision looked great & we’re 4 weeks away from a full recovery.
The traditional E-collar made her extremely anxious & was almost impossible to keep her crated as she constantly fought to remove it-of which she successfully did nearly every time. She was in terrible distress.
While being walked by my husband, I’d put it in the washer machine on quick wash & then dry; holding up without any issues at all.
She’s a petit GSP, so I rolled up the sleeve to the right length and it would hold just fine. I actually liked that it would ‘tighten up’ above her ankle like a cuff.
I highly recommend the Lick Sleeve.

Great product! Our poor girl could barely do anything in the cone of shame and having to take almost 6 months to recover we had to find something not so intrusive for her. This product is as advertised and has really brought back our girl’s spirits! Customer service is even better-needed a size down and it was overnight shipped immediately at no charge to me...I couldn’t ask for more...highly recommend!

Very easy to use and very effective. She is not able to lick the staples after her CCL surgery. It can slide down her back and off the tail while sleeping so we only use it when someone is with her.
