The "Lick Sleeve" worked great for us after our dog's TPLO surgery. He never even tried to lick the incision. He always just laid there and let me put it on. SO MUCH better than putting a halo around his head. When we got home with that thing he immediately tried to paw it off. The Lick Sleeve never bothered him. My vet recommended it and I am so grateful!

Works great. Wish I had bought one size smaller. I have a big golden and got an xl, probably should have gotten a large. Even after her stitches are out she wants to chew on her leg and this product has been a life saver! So much better than the cone.

Talli is a very anxious dog and after her TTA procedure, she was sent home in a hard plastic cone and ordered to crate rest. It was a DISASTER. Every time the cone hit the crate or she got hung on something, she freaked out and tried to bolt on her newly repaired leg. I knew we couldn't keep it up like this and started looking for a solution. I came across the Lick Sleeve in a Facebook group and gave it a Google search. I was hesitant because of the price but our girl was so stressed, so I took the leap. This thing is a GAME CHANGER. Once I took the cone off and put the sleeve on, she was a little unsure but sooo much more relaxed. I can tell she isn't uncomfortable in it, she does try to lick but the sleeve has kept it's word to be water proof, as there is no moisture getting through. She hasn't been able to rip a stitch (which she managed to do when we tried no cone for a short time and put a t-shirt cover over her leg). She can move the way she wants and we feel secure leaving her alone now, knowing she can't get to the wound and do any damage. The vet tech doing her laser therapy came out and said she'd never seen one before and wanted to know more about it. I was happy to oblige! Also worth noting, when I first order the sleeve, it was here the very next day (I was expecting two days). But I ordered a size too big and needed an exchange. I called customer service and they were so nice and helpful and got the right size out to me immediately. Excellent customer service right there....they knew the need was dire and didn't make things complicated! Hopefully I never need to use the sleeve more than this one time but if I need another one, it's going to be my go-to! The only post op tool you need!

Works as it should but my chocolate lab figured out how get it off but we have 2 and use them 24/7 .

Upcoming TPLO SURGERY. Practicing wearing the Lick Sleeve now. Emmett doesn’t mind it a bit !

My labradoodle, Dixie, is recovering from TPLO surgery using the lick sleeve. I bought a “cone-of-shame” just in case but have not had to use it so far. The Lick Sleeve is very comfortable for her and gives me peace of mind about licking and dirt getting into her incision. Simple design, soft material. We love it!

.

It’s keeping him from damaging the wound. Seems comfortable

What wonderful customer service! Unfortunately and to my dismay my dog is extra sensitive to anything on her legs. She would not allow anything. If you have any hesitation about trying the lick sleeve know that everything is completely refundable. Even shipping. Unheard of elsewhere. Thank you Jeff! It is so well made and soft

We like the sleeve, but have had trouble keeping it in place. Our dog is thin, and it tends to slide down over time even once the strapped is cinched snug.

So far it is working out good. It does seem to slide down off her back and has to be re set up again after she lays down. But much better than a cone. She is comfortable with wearing it. My vet was impressed with it.

Saw a difference in the first day. My pitbull is 75lbs but needs a medium since he is shorter. He started trusting his leg more once wearing it. He has been improving since. It is weird for him at first but once he gets used to it he runs around just fine

It’s a great alternative to the cone, we just had to figure out what works best for our dog Marvin. The sleeve was a little snug so we cut the bottom for a loser fit. He is 8 days out from a TPLO repair and with a comfy, looser fit leg sleeve he’s happy, my husband and I can sleep and life is slowly getting back to normal.

Bailey, our whippet, had a small benign spot removed from the inside of a rear thigh. After an online search, unfortunately after the fact, I found Lick Sleeve. While shipping was a bit pricey, it was expedited immediately on Monday morning and arrived the next day, get what you pay for! The sleeve is very soft, breathable, did not cling to the wound. Only once in nearly 2 weeks did it slip down and come off. Whippets having a skinny tuck, the sleeve strap was on the tightest setting and probably wasn't as snug as it needed (we had the Medium and she is 36 lbs). I loved the large R and L labeling for us older owners who don't always have their reading glasses on! Thankfully I am home all day so could have eyes on her, but it is a big improvement over having to wear a cone. Easy on and off made potty breaks simple. My only con was that it did seem to give/stretch very slightly, but thinking it will draw back up with washing. Bailey had only 3-4 sutures and did not seem to irritate, I don't know how the fabric would hold up to a real chewer, but I could see this used in conjunction with a cone if you had bandaging you didn't want to catch on bedding, etc. Thanks so much for a well thought out product!

My dog Scout had two surgeries on his leg about a month apart to remove masses and he had to wear a cone of shame plus a donut due to his long snout. Not surprisingly, he hated wearing them so I was thrilled to discover the Lick Sleeve alternative. Sadly, Scout passed away before we were able to use the Lick Sleeve so I reached out to the company to see if it would be possible to return the product. Not only did they allow me to return the Lick Sleeve but they provided a postage-paid shipping label and refunded the price of the product as well as the original shipping fees--truly amazing customer service! I wanted to share this experience because not only is the Lick Sleeve obviously a genius product but the company clearly cares about their customers as well. Thank you, Lick Sleeve!

The lick sleeve is perfect for our Aaliyah.. she just had knee surgery and she hates the cone, so this worked perfect for post surgery ! Its been 3 days now and she has not tried to take it off . It is a little big on her , but it is fine we just adjusted it with the strap. we love it and Aaliyah loves it too.... thank you Lick Sleeve...

The Licksleeve was such a blessing for our dog who has extreme cone anxiety. She had TPLO surgery on her left knee and wore the licksleeve all the time after the bandages came off. Her wound healed nicely and to the point where our vets office wants to start recommending your product! Thank you so much for creating this product- it truly was a godsend for us!

My dog had ACL surgery over a year ago. She had a reaction to the screws and had to have them removed. Even after they were removed, however, she KEPT licking the spot. It was always an open sore that we could not keep her from licking! We tried 2 different cones but she could get around them. We tried wrapping the area and she kept either tearing it off or the wrap would work itself down her leg because of the movement of her knee. We tried sprays that didn't taste good. We tried everything we could think of! THIS IS THE ANSWER! We've had it now for over a week and it is working out perfectly! She is comfortable in it and she can do all her business because it only covers her leg and belly. I hesitated to purchase the sleeve because of the price but I am VERY glad I did! It is worth EVERY PENNY!

Our dog, Cali, had CCL surgery and we bought the lick sleeve to protect the wound from her licking. The product is expensive but very well made. It is a much better solution than the traditional "cone of shame". We had to make a couple of modifications to make it work well: 1. We cut off the bottom 2 inches to loosen the fit and allow it to more easily pass over her paw. 2. We sewed on a ribbon at the top front that we then clipped to her collar. This stopped the sleeve from slipping off her backside. (This might be a good improvement in design for the manufacturer.) Overall, a success. Thanks.

My Golden Retriever recently had surgery to his knee. This sleeve is the greatest! It is easy to use, it is soft, and most importantly it gave my dog the freedom to go about his life normally without having to wear a cone. If it is too long just cut it shorter, it does not unravel. It is worth every penny. I bought two so I had a spare while washing the other. My dog could not get to his incision on the inside of his knee. Love, love this sleeve. I am telling all my friends.

This product was amazing! I was skeptical at first but honestly our Dakota girl is so much happier then wearing the big cone of shame.

We love this. Our dog (45-lb boxer/greyhound mix) developed a lick granuloma following her second TPLO. We tried sleeves, braces, and wraps - nothing stayed on. She was almost immediately comfortable in this wrap - she’s able to run, jump, and play. The flexibility is great and - most importantly - it stays on! I wish we would have bought one for her first surgery - it would have been ideal compared to the cone!

Was a little unsure of it at first, since it took a little bit of messing with to make sure it'll stay on properly. Along with it was a little tight on the leg. However after cutting off a chunk of it so it wasn't as hard to get up and over his foot and figuring out how to work it properly, it's been great to have. His pajamas he got from after the surgery needed cleaned and this has been a lot easier and simpler to get on and work with. Along with it doesn't make him excessively warm while wearing it. Was even very easy to clean and quickly dried out after the one time that we needed to clean it. If your dog is going to need a leg surgery I would recommend buying one of these ahead of time, if only to have a second one to switch out to.

The lick sleeve was amazing! I cannot say enough good things about it. Our 12 year old Westie who is very feisty tore his ACL (CCL for dogs) and had to have surgery when we were away from our home. It was all very upsetting and the lick sleeve made the whole process so much more manageable. We were able to get rid of the cone on Day 2, and it seemed as though the lick sleeve provided some comfort because when it was on, he did not even try to get at his stitches on the his knee. He totally left them alone. He was able to go to the washroom in it and it was not at all uncomfortable for him from what we could tell. We did cut the bottom off as it was a bit long for him. I would recommend it to anyone. We had to sleep on the floor on a mattress for 2 weeks as they can't move around much or jump up at all, and with the lick sleeve we were able to at least get some sleep instead of our dog bashing around the bed in the cone. Great product! Thank you.

So easy to use and a lot less stress for the owner as well as the pet. Saves legs and walls!

Comfortable fit for our Sam after his Cruciate Ligamemt Surgery. He absolutely would not wear a cone. We were up for many nights trying to keep his incision protected. Then I found the lick sleeve! Now we can rest peacefully and Sam can too!

The Licksleeve is so much nicer than the cone of shame. The fabric is nice and soft and it washes well .The only suggestion I would make is try to design it gender specific so you don’t have to unbuckle and unwrap to pee. I mentioned it to our surgeon ( Dr Rebecca Tudor - Tar Heel Veterinary Surgical Specialists ) who researched it . She said knows the person who developed or helped develop the product and has placed an order and will start offering it to her clients !

Lick Sleeve  has been a game changer for Indi and me.. she was able to function in a more normal manner which helped speed up her mental recovery as well as her physical recovery... and I got some much needed sleep..

The lick sleeve is AMAZING. Obee had a huge incision and horrible razor burn from his haircut and shave. He was starting to really irritate the razor burn by licking and slowly moving his way up to the incision. The lick sleeve covered everything well enough to keep him from focusing on the leg, razor burn, and incision. In 3 days with the lick sleeve used when I can’t watch him, the razor burn has healed, the incision looks great, and I managed to get some sleep! The lick sleeve also washes amazingly well. I tried the E-collar (big no), inflated collar (seriously did nothing), bitenot collar (horribly hot and he could still reach around and lick), the finally the lick sleeve. 1000 stars for the lick sleeve!

The Lick Sleeve came really quickly and it fits very well. My yellow lab doesn't mind it at all. She is having surgery on March 24th so I wanted to start putting the lick sleeve on her every day to get her used to it. She is doing very well and doesn't pull on it or bite at it. I just could not see her adjusting to the "cone of shame". Thanks so much, Susan

Great

For over two months, I could not get my Great Dane to stop licking the inner upper portion of her thigh where she had three sores which were becoming worse and worse. Vet visits, medicine and attempts with various kinds of cones and cone substitutes did not work since she would freak out wearing anything. The lick sleeve was a wonderful solution! After 5 days they were completely healed over and I am forever grateful for this product! Thank you!!!

This product has relieved me of the stress that the "cone" causes for my dog and myself. He sniffs at it once in a while, but so far has not tried to lick or remove it ! Yay ! Fingers crossed that this continues :)

The large is perfect for chloe - it looks really comfortable and she can't get to her injury - so glad i reached out!

Our dog had TPLO surgery in November and I searched everywhere for an alternative to the cone of shame. Finally I found the lick sleeve and I am so thankful. It worked very well for our doggy. He was in lots of pain after the surgery but this gave me peace of mind that he wouldn’t be licking the stitches if I had to leave him alone for a moment or couldn’t actively watch him all night long. He is recovering very well and had no issues with his stitches or wound healing. The price is definitely high relative to the cone and I wish it would have been a little easier to find - I did some serious internet research. Overall, a quality product that was easy to use, worked exactly as described and helped our dog heal well.

Our GSP is very high energy and wearing a cone of any kind was making her crazy. And she is not one that will get used to wearing one. Your sleeve was a godsend. Not to mention how it allowed for use of an absorbent pad when the vet had to place a drain tube in. You can never secure pads to the leg no matter how hard you try. But it adhered perfectly to the inside of the sleeve. Love your product!

This totally saved my lab who had a very extensive knee surgery with two tears. Surgery went well however she was throwing up for three days post surgery. The morning I got up and saw my poor baby sitting up with the horrible cone on and just covered in throw up. Those cones are the worst thing ever. Your company should canvas orthopedic surgeons because this make a world of difference for my pet and us. The stress level she felt and we felt with that cone was just horrible. The moment I put this on her she totally relaxed even though she was in pain. Thank you so much

I purchased this for my 6 year old Labrador who underwent ACL surgery. She is a very anxious dog and I knew that a cone would be very hard for her. The Lick Sleeve has been awesome! We put it on at bedtime and she had not bothered her sutures at all. She nearly too fat, but we're able to get the xlg fastened:)

Great item! We have a 4 year old male newfoundland who just had CCL surgery and this is a lifesaver. Recommendation for the XL size...add more "stretch" to the very bottom near the paw and a little more "give" in the waistband. Doesn't go around twice for a Giant breed but easily adapted the belly wrap to work. Definitely recommend!

We tried a cheaper one and PJ pants. This by far is the better route to go. It may seem expensive but it is great quality and more functional than the other items I have tried. I highly recommend.

I used the sizing chart and ordered a lrg based on our dogs waist, leg size and weight (she's a black lab), it was a little to big and baggy with the leg dressing over the stitches. Overall, the product did what it was intended to do. She did figure out how to escape from it a few times and the strap will slide over the back end ,so you have to keep up on adjusting and re-tightening. This is still a better option than the oversized cone of shame that my vet wanted her to wear for 10 to 14 days for her 1 inch stitches healed... I would recommend this product to a friend..

The Lick Sleeve was a life-saver. Our dog could not handle the cone (even a soft cone..) after her ACL surgery and everyone in the house was losing sleep. Once we started using the Lick Sleeve we could all rest easy knowing she was unable to tamper with her stitches. It was super easy to slip on and I was able to adjust the strap perfectly where she could not pull the sleeve down in any way.

The product was very helpful and customer service was great!

We have been trying to cover a hot spot on his foot for months and he would chew off the dressing and aggravate the wound every day. Also, he can reach his foot with a halo collar on too. It has been two glorious days of no obsessive licking and he is not destroying the sleeve! No licking! Fits the length of his long leg, no adjustments needed. We got an XL and he is 100 lbs.

I am thrilled with the Lick Sleeve! It made recovery so much less stressful for both me and my dog! It was especially helpful overnight. I was worried that Rhubarb would somehow wriggle out of it but nope! Night after night it remained perfectly in place and I could sleep well knowing that she would not bother her incision. I am so glad I found this product. I have recommended it to Rhubarb's veterinary team, and to clients and colleagues.

GREAT PRODUCT!! The large fits my 80lb Rottweiler perfectly. Thanks

This Lick Sleeve was a God send! Our yellow lab had to have TPLO surgery and was given a cone from the vet. After talking with a friend who worked at another vet clinic, I found out about the Lick Sleeve. We gave it a try because the cone was a serious hazard for everyone involved, we have several leg bruises and wall dings as a result. This product has worked so well and was a huge help in the recovery period. It is easy to put on and take off. The material is very soft and comfortable and does not rub on the incision area. I originally had ordered the wrong size. I had contacted Lick Sleeve, and within 5 minutes, I was able to connect with someone and they had my problem resolved by sending me a return label for the one that was too small and setting up a larger size to be shipped out. The larger size was here within 48 hours. This is such an excellent product/company and the customer service is some of the best I have ever had. I will definitely be spreading the Lick Sleeve word and recommending it to anyone and everyone I come across! Thank you, Lick Sleeve!!

Our Pit Bull is very sensitive and refused to do anything with the "Cone of Shame" on. We started a 24 hour watch with her so she could have the cone off - it soon became exhausting. I'm so grateful a friend of ours found a review of your Lick Sleeve and shared it with us. It was delivered within a couple of days and is such a relief. We have had to make only one modification because she can push it off her back if left unsupervised so we have an extra strap running from her harness to the strap. No sliding out now! Love it and feel happy that we have a solution for her next ACL op in a couple of weeks. Worth every penny. I am very confident she cannot chew through it. She gives is a good lick but not a sign of any damage to the sleeve or her surgery.

This has been a life saver for my dog after TPLO surgery! She freaks out with a cone and this has worked fantastic during her recovery. Cannot recommend it enough. Easy to put on and easy for my pet to move around and sleep comfortably.

This has been a true lifesaver. It gives me piece of mind that she is not going to get at her stitches.

Surgery is two weeks away and this is so much better than a cone. Had to cut the medium down to size a little for our mini poodle.

The Lick Sleeve was a great choice for our Rottweiler Honey. We purchased it before she had CCL surgery. We are in week 1 and she does lick. We also noticed after her licking the sleeve is wet on the inside where it's touching the incision. I've been unstrapping the sleeve and allowing it to dry before I snap it back in. My suggestion is to improve the sleeve by adding a layer of shield so that the inside of the sleeve by the incision is not wet. All in all I'm very happy we purchased the sleeve.

The lick sleeve was a blessing! I was so upset looking at my poor girl with that awful plastic cone around her head. She couldn’t even turn around in the crate. The lick sleeve was comfortable and efficient. So happy I found this. Even after her stitches were removed she continued to gnaw at the area. So I just put it back on for another week and let the healing continue. Thanks lick sleeve!

The lick sleeve has been a life saver for our dog after having surgery on his leg. Even with two cones on he was able to get to his stitches. The lick sleeve added another layer of protection so his wound could heal.

Serenity Grace had TPLO surgery one week ago - her second, but our fourth as Rottweiler parents. One of our fears the first two weeks is the dog licking the incision resulting in an infection, or worse removing the stitches. Unable to watch her 24x7, the Lick Sleeve worked to provide peace of mind and effectively negate our fear. She’s never bothered the Lick Sleeve, though it did slip off a couple times over the tail, so my caution would be to frequently check the strap around the body to insure that it is riding where it should be. We wish we had it for the previous TPLO experiences.

I called on a Sunday . I was stressed and the guy I spoke to was great. He made sure I got my sleeve when I needed it and answered my questions.

The best purchase I made around prepping for my dogs CCL surgery! He was in a panic with the Comfy Cone and this is the only thing that stopped him from chewing and licking on his stitches! Amazing product! Washes up well and durable!

Works great! Has kept our dog out of a cone and has made this ACL surgery recovery better than the last one. So happy we bought this!!!!

I absolutely love the Lick Sleeve. Our dog no longer has to deal with the discomfort caused by the Cone of Shame and is able to heal much faster. Love it!
