I’d give the Lick Sleeve 10 stars if I could. It’s been a game changer and a life saver. Our dog had TPLO surgery about a week ago and he absolutely refused to wear an e-collar or donut. Having the Lick Sleeve on hand provided the protection for his incision that’s so crucial while healing and gave us peace of mind. Our dog hasn’t bothered his incision once, hasn’t even tried.
The Lick Sleeve is easy to put on, the material is stretchy and repels liquid. Best of all it hang dries quickly!
Can’t recommend this product enough for your pups recovering from surgery. It’s a must have and worth every penny.
Samantha R.
Appreciate the free returns for the low cost, but I appreciate the Lick Sleeve even more! It works so well we don’t need the free return!
Lori S.
This is a brilliant idea for post-surgery pups! The material feels very comfortable, and my dog has not even tried to take it off. It looks so much better than her exposed post-surgery leg, and it keeps her leg clean. I take it off for a while each day to check out her incision. No problems at all! Great product!
celeste s.
Great leg sleeve. It stays on and esy to wash and dry.
Barbara B.
It works! After our Goldendoodle had CCL & meniscus surgery, she was wearing the "cone of shame." She bumped into everyone and everything! Once the lick sleeve arrived, we were able to easily put it on her leg and remove the cone. The sleeve is a game changer! THANK YOU!
cheryl v.
Easy to use and it is very soft!
Katelyn O.
The lick sleeve has been amazing, kept our pup from wearing the cone of shame!
Adrea M.
My lab had MMP surgery and this sleeve has been a life saver! She already has high anxiety so it was a big NO on the cone. We measured her as specified and her sleeve fit her perfect. It is the perfect barrier between her licking her incision, for applying ice packs and keeping her leg clean. It was loose enough around her knee where her incision was able to breathe. We have only had to put a cone on her long enough to wash it and this lick sleeve washed perfectly with no breakdown of the quality!
Elisheva B.
Did the truck! My dog had a hotspot and chewed all the hair off the length of his left hind leg. Nothing worked. He even managed to find a way around the cone. The lick sleeve worked. He only had to wear it for a week and then he stopped. Thank you!!

L ho solo provato a mettere perché l intervento di TPLO lo fa il 7 agosto, comunque mi sembra bene, anche se il mio cane corso non sta fermo e pesa 85 chili!

Our girl needed TTA knee surgery. We purchased the Lick Sleeve in hopes of limiting the Cone of Shame and keep her stiches in place. We needed to make a few adjustments which were easy to do. Our Mabel is a stocky 58 pound Rez mutt. We bought a medium and large size since she fell between the measurements. Kept the large size and returned the medium. Needed to cut the material near the bottom of her leg so we could easily slip the sleeve on over her swollen knee. Worked great. No cone needed. Very much recommend the lick sleeve when your fur baby needs it.
Wendy R.
Kindest staff ever. Knew answers to my questions and gave me and my Labrador the best service. HIGHLY recommend!
Beverly S.
We have a white with pink skin pitbull whose job it is to lick herself to death. We are awaiting surgery on a hemangioma on her inner right thigh and before the lick sleeve she almost bled to death. She still licks the sleeve sometimes but not enough to cause anymore damage. Wish I had it sooner.
Karen M.
We send these home with every knee surgery client
Esther P.
It helped but the large was too big and the medium may have been too small . It kept my dog wound clean and stitches were in tack . I will definitely recommend it
Candie D.
Great tool! So glad I spent the money. Makes a huge difference. Love that it's keeping the wound clean while it's still healing. Theon may try to lick when it likely itches but I'm keeping lickimats on hand to redirect him :-)
Josh F.
Works as designed with minimul discomfort (doesn't bother him). Easy to take on and off and clean. My only gripe is it's pricey for what it is, but it is a quality product.
Margaret D.
Although my dog won’t be needing the sleeve it is made well and is exactly what was needed for post ACL surgery. We don’t like the cone of shame, as it called , so the sleeve as a perfect alternative
Shelley B.
What a great alternative to use on our TPLO procedures versus having to use a cone. Our clients are so happy when they see they aren't having to place their dogs in cones for their recovery.
Tracey S.
My dog had both ACL’s repaired at the same time. The lick sleeves were game changers!
Suseela J.
Like most dogs, my boy doesn’t like to wear cones or donuts. He is also has a very long body and long legs so he needs extra large donuts and cones which are even more uncomfortable. After struggling through one TPLO surgery dealing with donuts and cones, I was told about lick sleeves. I honestly looked at cheaper options on Amazon, but read reviews about people buying cheaper sleeves and have issues with wound healing because their dogs still licked the incision site and the fabric soaked up the saliva and created issues. A few reviews said save your money and just order the original lick sleeve. I did, and I’m so upset I didn’t know about this before the first surgery. I made sure to order it before surgery so he could wear it and get used to it beforehand to make it easier after surgery. The app has been such an added bonus! It’s very helpful and has videos embedded that are very helpful. I couldn’t put the sleeve on the day of surgery because his paw was a bit tender, but I was able to put it on the following day and he’s been wearing it ever since. He lets me put it on and patiently waits for me to take it off before we go out. I know it can be used as a sling as well, but I prefer to use a regular sling because I’m worried he’s going to pee on it and then I won’t be able to use it while it’s being washed and dried. I love that it’s reversible, but I’m hoping I’ll never need it again! But I like that it can be used on both hind legs as well as the front legs. Glad I made this purchase, but wish I had known a few months ago so I could have used it for our first surgery as well!
Vivian H.
Easy to put on, lightweight. Difficult to have my male dog urinate (did not want to take it off and on him. He just had to learn to lift the opposite leg but was resistant. Unfortunately, he still licked on top of the sleeve so we had to revert to the uncomfortable cone.
Eliot M.
Overall the Lick Sleeve was well made and fit our dog exceptionally well. The service from Lick Sleeve was excellent when we had issues with tearing of the sleeve. Twice the sleeve was replaced quickly and without questions. The downside is we still needed to use a cone on our dog for two weeks as she quickly licked or bite through the Lick Sleeve. The bottom line: it was excellent for protecting the bandages and keeping everything clean, BUT you may still have to use a cone.
Alison B.
So far so good! We just put Sookie’s Licksleeve on and she seems fine with keeping it on. She has seasonal allergies that make her lick hot spots on her leg. My fingers are crossed that it does the trick!
Roberta G.
Otis, my Olde English Bulldog, had his second TPLO (thank goodness they only have 2 back legs!).....
The first one was done 4 years ago. I never knew there could be an alternative for the nasty cone.... then I discovered the Lick Sleeve,
what a wonderful product!
This sleeve is well made, soft, comfortable, stretchable , easy to put on, and is adjustable for a male dog.
This sleeve covered, protected his stitches... he didn't pay attention to the sleeve, didn't chew or tug at it, his suture line was intact, kept clean.
Thank you for creating this Lick Sleeve! A life saver for both Otis and myself, Roberta
Lisa P.
Our dog just had knee surgery. Using the sleeve and a donut has been the best combination to prevent our dog from damaging her incision site.
Domenic M.
The Lick Sleeve truly made a difficult time so much easier. I’m beyond grateful for it and highly recommend it!
Betsey K.
I wouldn’t recommend for an injury on or very near a the hip joint. Love the concept and wish it had worked.
Gail M.
I ordered your product on the advice of an Amazon reviewer. She was reviewing a much inferior product which I had ordered. Most of the products on Amazon have the foam sleeve connected to a strap connected to a collar. They are torture for your dog! They choke they overheat they stink! I figured that since I had spent hundreds of dollars on my dog's surgery that the cost of a lick sleeve was worth it. I am so surprised that my vet and none of the techs had any experience or recommendations. Even local small business shops could not give me advice. My dog is a licker and I do not like using a hard cone. The lick sleeve is a thin polyester fabric that stretches and holds on to the shape of the leg. I love the way it secures around the belly. I've already washed it three times, in a garment bag, with other clothes. It washes well. It dries quickly, air drying, and holds its shape. It's genius that one leg sleeve can be right or left! This is a very good product. It is worth the money. Forget Amazon.
Kim Z.
I have a senecio German shepherd mix weighing in at 90 pounds who has had a hot spot who won’t stop licking. The sleeve has been amazing when I’m not home to watch him. It goes on very easily and stays secure. He wears it to bed too without a bother. We bought an XL for him and it is perfect. Highly recommend
Jennifer V.
The Licksleeve has been very successful for our Newfie that just had hip replacement surgery. The first day home he started to get a skin infection on his neck due to being a slurpy guy and wearing a cone. We were able to take the cone off because of the Licksleeve, it covered his incision. This product is super easy to put on, our dog could go potty without the need to take off. I highly recommend the Licksleeve.
Chris R.
Excellent customer service
Well made product
Works very well for need
Second dog we have used on
Highly recommend
Michael I.
I think it’s the best way to go for your pet instead of the cone!!!
Donna W.
Loved the sleeve! So much better looking than the “cone of shame”! Will pass your product on to other pet owners. Thank you for such a good product!
Suzanne U.
It seemed to work at first but my dog has figured out how to get the sleeve off. For the money that I paid for this I expected it to be more effective.
Tim B.
This sleeve is soft yet supportive. It slides on our GSP easily. Her surgical site is covered and safe from her licking or scratching. We have an 8 yr old GSP and ordered the sz lg sleeve.
Pam B.
Our dog had surgery on her hip. Lick Sleeve has helped to keep the drainage for the site from dripping in our house. In the first few days after surgery, we tucked a long gauze pad inside the sleeve for added absorbency. We were able to wash the sleeve whenever necessary. A week out of surgery she continues to wear it to protect her from licking the site as a heals. This product is expensive, but it is giving us peace of mind.
Melanie C.
My dog doesn’t like it at all and it fits weird.
Ann D.
I bought one size too large but it still worked sufficiently. I didn’t have enough time to complete an exchange. Besides preventing licking, it created a nice barrier for icing post-surgery. Thank you!!
LYNN W.
I have ordered 3 of these. My dog chewed off the first two fasteners, so I highly recommend using a cone along with this. I would purchase again.
Scott S.
Customer service is great the first would keep slipping off her back so they sent me the large which unfortunately to tight and would eventually do the same thing
Like the idea just didn't work for us maybe it the way we use it
But I would recommend it
Jean F.
My pup has had a few surgeries to remove growths and cysts and had to wear a cone so many times. I was trying to find something else and a local pet store told me about the lick sleeve. Game changer!! This made his healing time so much easier! He’ll never have to wear a cone or collar again!!
Greg S.
Lick sleeve has been a great product, easy to use and much better than the cone!
Juan C.
I tried LickSleeve in the postoperative period of two dogs, one of them under a TPLO surgery (it fit him perfectly on his hind limb) and another one under a revision surgery of the elbow (it didn't fit him very well). I'm still waiting for the owner's opinion of the sleeve.
Holly B.
SO much better than the dreaded cone of shame!!
Domenic M.
Can’t recommend this enough!!! Made a terrible situation so much better and it worked amazingly well!
Martha A.
The lick sleeve works very well. I do have a complaint. It is very overpriced compared to other devices to deter licking. The surgery is overwhelmingly expensive and add to that an overpriced item is disappointing to an elder on set income.
Erin M.
This sleeve is so much better than the cone of shame. It's versatile. I bought the hind leg and can use it on either leg. It's easy to put it on, stays put, and it's comfortable.
Miranda C.
How brilliant!!
The part I was dreading the most about my dog’s TPLO surgery was her wearing a giant kind of shame to avoid licking her surgical spot. When I picked her up from the veterinarian, she was wearing a Lick Sleeve and I immediately ordered another one. What a game changer! Thanks to this brilliant device, our dog got to rest peacefully and eat meals normally ,without the burden of an uncomfortable cone.
It is washable, durable, and seems extremely comfortable. It is easy to adjust and easy to change, if needed.
Again, very thankful for your ingenuity! With highly recommend
William V.
It works very well on our dog
Bruce H.
Worked like a charm..our pup was anxiety free, the sleeve stayed in place for 7 days. We would HIGHLY recommend!
Sarah W.
Highly recommend the Lick Sleeve for anyone looking to protect the injury site on dog’s leg. But especially those who are facing a long recovery timeline like us after having TPLO surgery!!!
The sleeve is made of soft, very lightweight material and has a nice thick band to wrap around belly that helps it stay in place YET out of the way during potty breaks (female dog).
We did end up having to use one of the blow up neck collars (highly recommend over the traditional cone collar) for the first few days post surgery as the Lick Sleeve proved difficult to get on her injured leg.
But by Day 4 she was happily wearing the Lick Sleeve! And it was immediately clear that it was going to be a Game Changer!
The sleeve went on, the donut came off and she let out a big sigh of relief as she stretched out and proceeded to snuggled into a more comfortable position.
I can’t recommend this enough!! 8-10 weeks is a long time to be wearing a donut around your neck or even worse a giant cone ♀️
Carly S.
Honestly, the only thing that prevented by dog from getting an infection of his surgical site. Even the cones didn't stop a determined dog from trying to lick his surgical site, but the lick sleeve was an added layer of defense. Easy to put on and comfortable for my dog to wear. Very grateful someone recommended this to me before surgery.
Shawn S.
This was such a great alternative to the cone of shame!!! Our GSD wanted nothing to do with the cone, but comfortably wore the lick sleeve! He was so much more comfortable and I didn’t have to worry about him licking his incision! He wasn’t even interested!
Scott S.
I probably should have maybe ordered a longer one but it does work. With a bandage and the sleeve think will be fine.
Mojgan S.
My baby boy came home wearing sleeve from your company after his TPLO surgery, and I decided to get another one.
Charlotte P.
It is so much better than an e-collar!! My dog does not fight putting it on and wearing it. It is so nice for her to be able to eat and drink without having to take an e-collar off and then put it back on. Also, it allows her to rest more comfortably.
Sheila M.
Very helpful following CCL repair surgery. Highly recommend.
Catherine S.
As a veterinary surgeon who performs over 100 TPLOs every year, I've recommended Lick Sleeves to hundreds of clients. When my own personal dog needed her TPLO, I ordered one right away. She's a Dane mix who has cone paralysis, so the Lick Sleeve has been a dream. We are 11 days postop, incision is looking fantastic, and she is a happy camper with her "pants".
KAYLIN L.
We purchased this for our dog when he needed to have leg surgery. It has been a huge win to use this versus a traditional cone or e collar which we used for a previous surgery. Our dog is very anxious and the Lick Sleeve has made this go around so much better. It is super easy to put on and stays in place. Highly recommend this product!!
william s.
This is the best alternative to a cone. And this is life-changing for our dog. Couldn't be happier with the lick sleeve.!
Cheryl S.
Very unhappy with this product
Shannon C.
So much better than a cone. It’s perfect. I tried buying a cheaper version at first but it was not comfortable on her. Gave in and bought The lick sleeve and it was so worth it. So much easier on our Sophie girl.
John K.
Finally a solution for compulsive dogs licking their wounds. I wish I found this earlier!
Cheryl S.
This guy had surgery a few days ago on left leg. The Lick Sleeve was very difficult to use and incovenient. tDisappointed. Spent too much money on a product that did not perform as promised.
Daniel B.
This sleeve is absolutely perfect! She cried for the first 3 days wearing the cone and once this arrived, the cone went back in the basement where it belongs. She doesn't even seem to notice wearing it and it is the cutest thing ever. Great quality and great fit. Thanks for making this!! Totally worth the money too. We looked at cheaper options on Amazon but are so happy we went with this one.
Kelley G.
Works just as promissed!
Kristie D.
My dog had a large infection removed, and we were unable to stitch it closed… The Lick Sleeve has been helping hold the bandage in place while it heals… He does still however need a cone but he is able to use the bathroom and the Lick Sleeve has not bothered him at all… I did end up buying two so when we change it, I have a clean one to put on… I’m very happy with the material and how well it cleans/washes - since like I said this is an open wound
Andrea K.
The lick sleeve has been great for keeping our dog from licking his incision after knee surgery. It also worked well for icing his leg as we were able to fit an ice pack down inside and it held it in place. I highly recommend this product!
Courtney M.
The lick sleeve has allowed my dog to recover from ACL surgery with minimal use of a cone! It dries quickly and very easy to put on and take off. So thankful for this product!!
Wendy S.
This is the perfect thing to help our dog heal up. Even better, when I accidentally ordered the wrong size, they sent me a new one right away instead of waiting until the smaller size got back to them - it was far and away the easiest return I've ever had with an online purchase.
Connie J.
I highly recommend Lick Sleeve….it was actually recommended to me by another customer. The size XXL fits my Saint Bernard great! It’s great material and well made. It keeps the incision site clean and protective from my dog licking it. Love that it’s reversible so we can use it on her other leg as well. It’s Georgie approved!
Jerri B.
Lick Sleeve was just what I needed to keep my dog from licking his after surgery staples. The Lick Sleeve was more practical and comfortable for my dog than the cone and worked better than another brand sleeve I tried. Excellent product - very durable and washes and dries perfectly!
Stephanie D.
Works great at keeping my dog from getting to the stitches in her leg.
Jerri B.
My Afghan Hound fractured his femur recently and had surgery to put the bone back together. I tried cones and different sleeves to keep him from licking his staples, but he always managed to make contact. I searched for a better sleeve and decided to try the Lick Sleeve. It did the best job of keeping my boy from licking his sutures. He just had the staples taken out and will continue to wear the Lick Sleeve for another week to keep him from licking the area where the sutures were. This is an excellent product and I wish I would have found it sooner because it was much better than the cones and other sleeves we tried! Thank you for this excellent product!
Megan W.
This was recommended to us by our vet after our dog had ACL surgery. This has worked great!
Holly C.
An incredible invention for any dog with an injury needing coverage. Extremely high quality production, and excellent customer support. I wish I'd had it for my dog years ago when he had TPLO surgery, but grateful this exists for dogs today. High recommend.
Marjorie P.
As described and kept our GSD from licking incision on left rear leg
Alexa G.
Our dog had a surgery similar to TPLO. She has never done well with cones, they scare her. She’s also a licker. She will mindlessly lick so we knew we would need something to stop her in addition to the donut. The Lick Sleeve has been great! She has shown no interest in licking her leg. It’s so easy to put on and take off. We live in AZ where it has been 110-115 the past few days and she isn’t even hot with it on. Very happy with our purchase. Also love that it works for both sides so when the statistics are right and she needs the other side done, it can be used then again.
Darin B.
I can't get it to stay on my dog. As soon as he gets up or down a few times it falls off. A larger size may work better. I chose the size based on measuring the dog as prescribed.
James T.
Great product! A much better option than using an Elizabethan collar which I used following a previous surgery on my 70 pound dog . There was no noticable anxiety from the use of the sleeve. The use of the lick sleeve allowed for a fast healing process of the surgical wound without any interference from my boy.
Customer service was fantastic!
Sylvester W.
We needed to keep her from licking after back leg surgery. We don't like the cone, due to issues with eating and drinking and cleaning herself. Lick sleeve was a godsend and solved our problems and allowed her the freedom without worrying about licking and infecting the wound area. Thanks you!
Jill P.
Our pup was not handling a cone after knee surgery. The lick guard was a life saver. Protected her wound without irritating it.
stephanie c.
This is a great alternative to wearing the cone. Good quality and easy to put on and off.
Diana S.
Second time around for CCL surgery and I found your product after the first one and said ‘if this ever happens again I’m ordering the lick sleeve’- well sure enough 3 years later, it did happen again and I promptly ordered.
We are day 3 post op and I can’t believe what a help this is taking him out to potty (please watch the youtube video)- what a blessing to give him a little support and more safety , and easier on me for sure.
He hasn’t tried to bother his incision at all and so far no need for a surgery collar. The sleeve came quickly and I was very relieved that the chart on sizing was on point- I used the measurements for the leg and weight to decide. It’s also nice that if it’s a little long it can be trimmed or turned up, but the coverage over the incision is perfect. Fabric seems comfortable and breathable. Things look like good healing is taking place. I’ve had zero issues keeping it dry with a male dog. Worth every penny, thank you
A loving dog Mom
Mary Jane D.
Game changer! We have a large Bernedoodle. She had knee surgery. The sleeve works like a charm. It’s 100% better than the huge plastic cone she had to wear. It keeps her leg clean, and she hasn’t even tried to lick it. She doesn’t seem to care about it. It seems super comfy. Easy to put on, and since we have a girl dog. It hasn’t had to come off for potty breaks. I wish we hadn’t waited until after the surgery to order it.
Michael B.
It worked and fit great after her surgery, thanks for a great product.
Mary O.
It's a very useful tool in addition to using the dreaded cone! There's a bit of a learning curve to using it properly. We still use the cone at night since our dog is a licker & had a portion of a front leg shaved for IV etc. The price is a bit high, but overall we're very satisfied!
Ed And Diane Y.
We used the sleeve for our Bichons cruciate repair.
We had to cut the sleeve down as it was too large with the straps.
Garth P.
One week post surgery and she is doing great. She doesn’t pay attention to the Lick Sleeves at all. After cutting the bottom two inches off they go on very easy
Susan C.
Loved it, but i did not get it tight enough and it would fall off her hips... .my fault. It did keep her from licking while she had it on
Dianna J.
Excellent product would recommend it to everyone whose dog is having leg surgery. Surgeon who did the surgery on my dog likes the product to. Customer service very nice and very helpful.
kerri m.
My sweet boy Lenny was unexpectedly diagnosed with a mast cell tumor in his right leg. After his tumor was removed, his wound opened up twice after being re sutured. We tried wrapping his leg and even using yoga pants but none of it worked. We were struggling on how to cover Lenny’s leg until lick sleeve. I am so grateful to have found something that’s worked! Thank you!!
Susan C.
The Licksleeve has truly been a godsend for our 80 lb husky. This is her second ACL surgery and thanks to the licksleeve she has been able to heal and rest faster than having to use the awful cone of shame. Highly Highly recommended!!
