Amazing product! I would recommend the Lick Sleeve to anyone who will listen. It is a life saver for my pup after TPLO surgery.

Our lab had a couple of hotspots on her hind leg and this worked great. She didn't try to remove it and it prevented her from licking. Very easy to put on. Material is quite soft and stretchy, also seems very sturdy. I thought it was a little pricey but then again it worked well for us and much better than the cone so was all worth the price. I wish I had this when she had her ACL surgery.

Brought our dog home from ACL surgery today. The lick sleeve is working great!!! Would highly recommend.
Elizabeth B.
So wonderful that our treasured golden could be safe and yet have more freedom after her surgery! Worked wonderfully!
Joanie L W.
Faith figured out how to wiggle out of an e-collar after her ACL surgery. Lick Sleeve worked like a charm. Not only did it keep her from licking her incision, it also kept her shaved leg warm and clean. I would have paid twice the price! It made our life so much easier and Faith so much happier. My only suggestion is make the strap more secure. It loosens with movement.

The Lick Sleeve has been working well for my pup after TPLO surgery. He's not confined by the Cone of Shame. The only down side is having to move it when he needs to use the bathroom, but overall, it looks much more comfortable for him. Highly recommended.
Jeremy D.
This made his recovery from knee surgery so much more tolerable than wearing a cone. He’s a mellow dog, so he never tried to mess with the sleeve and got his stitches removed today with a great looking surgery incision site. He’s a little over 45 lbs, so i initially bought the medium, but had to order a large which fit him much better.
Tammy A.
I have never been willing to put the cone of shame on any of my dogs. It just seems cruel to me. I was ecstatic to find the Lick Sleeve for my golden retriever after his surgery. It fit well and provided the protection for the incision that is necessary. It also gave his shaved leg a bit of protection from the cold. Really great product.

My 81 lb yellow lab had the TPLO and a meniscus repair about 2 weeks ago, a friend had recommended I get the licksleeve and it has been such a great product. The vet could not get the cone on him post surgery so he came home with only the bandage, got the licksleeve on and no licking on his incision at all. Had his 2 week followup today and the incision is healing nicely. I did order the XL which turned out to be too big around his waist and long in the leg, the company has been wonderful to work with, sent a L overnite to us and call tags for the XL to exchange. Would highly recommend the licksleeve to anyone who has a dog going through this type of surgery.
Isabel S.
I bought the Lick Sleeve when my dog figured out how to get her leg inside of her cone so she could lick her stitches. The overnight shipping option was great since we needed something as soon as possible. She has been wearing the sleeve for two weeks now (her stitches are out but the wound is still a little tender, and the vet suggested keeping her away from it until it is fully healed). She doesn't seem to mind the sleeve at all, can walk and go to the bathroom without removing it, and it is easy to take on and off. I ordered size Medium for her - she is a greyhound/Saluki mix, about 45lbs but tall and skinny. This size fit perfectly, although for a dog with thicker legs I think it would be a little difficult to put on. As is, the sleeve is a good size for her, but would be tight on a larger dog.
Amanda G.
This was an absolute life saver!! I ordered it less than 48 hrs before I brought our dog home and it got here in time! It was fantastic and prevented her from wearing the “donut” for two weeks as she recovered from knee surgery.
Ericka C.
Our poor Zeddy wouldn't eat, drink or go to the bathroom in a traditional cone. He was absolutely miserable. We tried a soft, inflatable cone, but he was able to get to his incision and before we knew it, had three stitches removed. Lick sleeve absolutely was the answer. It's easy to use, fits well and most importantly, our pup is comfortable! We ended up buying 2 so that we were able to rotate and clean them daily. Highly recommend!
Mark S.
I didn’t find this until 3 days after my dogs surgery. I ordered anyway and hoped for quick ship but took 2 days and by then it was really not needed or used. Looks like a quality product and I think would be “the” alternative to anything else I have seen. Luckily my dog was able to restrain from licking the incision anyway so all is good. A little pricey.
Brian M.
Great quality the material is breathable and stretchy for active dogs but I think I need to order a smaller size so that it kind of hugs her a little bit more might order a medium.
Robert S.
Our 11 year old cocker spaniel had knee surgery. We hate cones as much as the dogs do. The lick sleeve saved us. She wore it without a problem and never bothered with her stitches. I highly recommend it.
kerra H.
Great product! It keeps the leg safe from debris and licking
Kirsty B.
So glad we bought a Lick Sleeve for our Maggie after TPLO surgery. Not having to use a cone but still keep her incisions covered with her Lick Sleeve was awesome! Two thumbs up! Love that it’s reversible so we can use it again on the other leg when the time comes!
Chelsea K.
I would give this 5 stars if it came in larger sizes! My 140lb Great Dane was able to use the XL after waiting a couple days for the swelling from his TPLO surgery to go down. The only reason we got away with it is because Great Danes have such long legs so they’re size:weight isn’t like most dogs. If they come out with an XXL I’ll be buying it for his next surgery!
That being said, the Lick Sleeve was easy to clean and quick to dry when he had an accident. It was fairly easy to get on and off. Products like these are life savers when the e collar is so huge that movement is difficult.
Kathi J.
GAME CHANGER!!
Our 7 year old yellow lab had TPLO surgery 6 days ago. We decided against using the traditional elizabethan collar and went with both constant (and we mean 24/7 constant) supervision and a Cloud collar, watching to make sure that he didn't get to the surgical site and lick, or worse. He was still anxious with the Cloud collar, requiring Trazodone for the anxiety.
We went online to find a solution that would let us make him comfortable, and stop feeding him drugs, and came across your product. My boy is resting with his head right where God intended it, on his cozy dog bed.
Why aren't these Ortho Docs telling us about this?
Rod R.
It fits well, non bothersome, and does it’s purpose. Much better than a cone.
Pamela P.
This was a wonderful alternative to the cone- we were so grateful to have this as it made our dog so much more comfortable! The company was wonderful to work with when we needed a last minute size change. They couldn’t have been more kind and understanding!
Liza A.
The Lick Sleeve has worked well to keep our dog from licking her incision. Unlike a cone, she doesn’t mind wearing it and can take walks and sleep with it on without a problem.
Michelle S.
My dog had TPLO surgery and I was dreading the cone of shame. The surgeon recommended this product and I’m so grateful. Best thing ever!!
Lindsey C.
This is perfect for TPLO recovery. The fact that it is washable and keeps them from having to wear the uncomfortable cone. It is easier for male dogs to take it off for the short walk. Next 8 weeks of crate rest and only going out for walks hasn’t been so bad thanks to the lick sleeve.
Katie K.
The Lick Sleeve is a sanity saver! We have been trying to get a stubborn sore on my girl’s rear, left foot to heal for months, but it’s been impossible to keep her from licking it. We tried nearly every style of cone collar possible, finally going with the largest standard plastic cone collar we could find, which she still found a way past. No matter what we tried, she still found a way to get to her foot. She’s been wearing her Lick Sleeve along with the cone collar for a few weeks now and she has no longer been able to get to it. We are finally noticing great improvement. I can’t recommend the Lick Sleeve enough!
Daniel Y.
This was the best purchase for our dog after knee surgery. While wearing the sleeve, she did not bother her knee, did not try to get if off of her leg, she accepted it and her recovery was excellent.
I would most definitely recommend this sleeve post surgery or injury for your dog! It took the stress off of us and of of our Beautiful Rottweiler-Chewbacca, we call her Chewy.
Its very soft and is interchangeable for right and left legs.

Great item to cover rear canine leg after surgery. I needed it in a hurry and they sent next day by 2:oopm. My canine cherish was very comfortable with it especially when the alternative was the e-collar. I hope this company can get it retailers so others will know about it !!!
karen P.
We made the mistake of buying a lesser expensive product to our utter disappointment. I then ordered licksleeve. This licksleeve fits perfectly, easy to put on, my dog actually wants us to put it on her, is quality made and worth every penny. Great customer service too.
Joanie W.
My dog Faith had ACL surgery. She figured out how to pull off an e collar so we were so glad to find Lick Sleeve. It was overnighted to us and she has been relaxed and chill about wearing it. She has not bothered with her leg as long as she has on the sleeve. If more people knew about this they would happily buy it. You should consider selling on Amazon. You would sell a ton of these there!
Pamela P.
This is a fantastic product with an equally as fantastic team that supports its customers. Couldn’t be happier!
Ronald M.
Awesome sleeve! Medium is a perfect fit for our 15 year old Aussie mix who had a TPLO!!!!
Natalie R.
We are so so happy we bought this for our pup Boudicca! It has made our lives so much easier and I’m sure hers too! We will put it on when she does not have her cone on which gives us peace of mind without having to constantly have a hawk eye on her lol. Once she gets her staples removed, we will continue to use the lick sleeve so she doesn’t irritate the area while we are sleeping and at work. I’m so glad we found this! I know it’s pricey but I’m glad we went ahead and got it versus the cheaper models that doing seem to hold up as well. Trust me, buy it! This surgery recovery is difficult enough, this will make it a little easier on both of you!
Karen C.
Great product! My puppy had knee surgery and this was exactly what we needed to keep him from licking his incision. Would highly recommend this product. Top quality !!! Customer service was great making sure I received the licksleeve in time for my dogs surgery.
Shane E.
Saved us from ever having to use the cone! Well worth the purchase and would definitely recommend! It did cause some chaffing on her belly but nothing too bad. It would be nice if it was moisture blocking since I did catch her licking the outside of it at night and it got wet on the inside. Stitches came out today and all was great!
Maddie Chandler M.
The Lick Sleeve was a game changer for our dogs TPLO surgery recovery. She hates the cone and this helped us keep her comfortable and unable to bother the wound at the same time. Thank you for this product!
Paula L.
Our major concern about TPLO recovery was keeping Sammy from his incision. He is a doggy Houdini and can get out of, chew up or destroy every other cone, sleeve or protective device we've tried. NOT the Lick Sleeve!! Finally a product that WORKS!! We can actually sleep soundly knowing he is ok.
Diana D.
Works perfect to cover my dog’s lick granuloma. She prefers her sleeve to a cone and is so much happier.
Beth D.
I have a senior dog 18 years old who got a hot spot on her back leg. I put her in a soft cone so she couldn’t keep licking it, but after a couple of days wearing the cone, she became withdrawn and stopped eating. I was desperate and searched the web for alternatives to a cone and came across Lick Sleeve and ordered it to be shipped overnight. It arrived and fit her perfectly and what a difference. My dog couldn’t lick her hot spot but she started to wag her tail again and resumed eating. I cannot tell you how grateful I am. I got my dog back! Thank you!!
valerie w.
My Belgian Mal who is very active needed more than the cone when he chewed through the bandages and ate the staples. I was desperate. At this point spending 100$ on the sleeve was little compared to a second restitching and sedation. I wish my vet had at least suggested the sleeve than just the ineffective cone. He continues to need heavy sedation but the sleeve has helped tremendously in chewing through bandages.
Katherine M.
It's worked great so far! We love it.
Shawn T.
She has been wearing her leg strap and her incision is healing up 100% better wish I would’ve had this sooner
Kris F.
This is by far the best purchase we have made for our dogs TPLO surgery. She is petrified of the cone and refuses to move with it on. I found this online and her surgeon said he likes it and personally knows the dr who designed it. She has not tried to lick her incision at all! Stitches come out tomorrow and everything looks great. Thank you for your great customer service when I called you. It was shipped out right away and we received it in time for her surgery.
Anne R.
I’m so glad I found this and had it on hand immediately following my dogs surgery for a torn ligament. It is quite easy to put on, is comfortable for my dog to wear, keeps the leg protected from dirt, is washable, and has prevented him from licking his wound so it can heal. Worked like a charm and I only wish I had ordered two so they could be rotated every few days.
My only suggestion is to completely remove the lick sleeve when taking your dog out to do his/her business. It’s just easier.
Josette O.
I will say that this is the best. I needed something besides the e-collar so he could sleep at night its interchangeable. Excellent
Hannah F.
AMAZING! We got this for our dog's 2nd TPLO surgery and it was a game changer. Other sleeves we tried didn't cover the incision well, would fall down, get wet and not dry, have to attach to her collar, and/or had to be tied around her waist with ties that didn't stretch and made her uncomfortable. The lick sleeve solved ALL of those problems. She is happy without a cone or ill-fitting sleeve, her incision is clean and dry, and we are happy. Even when she does lick it, it dries very quickly. It is perfect! I wish I knew more people with dogs who are getting TPLO surgery because i want to tell everyone about this!
Note, she is a 60lbs pit/hound mix and the medium was a perfect fit.
Marsha T.
This works so wonderfully! We haven’t had to use the cone one time! Thank you so much!!
Bernadette C.
Ziva had her ACL repair yesterday . She came home wearing a donut which whilst better than the cone of shame was still most unacceptable to her. THANK GOODNESS we were able to get the Lick Sleeve here in time. She is so much more comfortable now and it is so easy to get on and off even with her laying down. This is a fabulous product !! Ziva would tell you herself if only she could speak. Thanks to Henry for helping me with ordering process.
Brenda W.
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.
julimarie d.
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!!
Randy G.
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.
Josie R.
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.
Kelli K.
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.

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.

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.

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.
