Product Description
Medical Pet Shirt Zebra is a special edition zebra print garment for animals. Also available in other colours and variants for dogs.
The Medical Pet Shirt looks like a cute bodysuit for your pet. The open ended back means it is easy to put on and take off. Movement is not restricted thanks to Velcro and popper fastenings at the tail. For oestrus and incontinence, a sanitary towel or panty liner can be fitted inside this product. The Medical Pet Shirt is comfortable, hygienic and machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius.
Washing instructions
The Medical Pet Shirt is machine washable at a maximum of 30 degrees Celsius.
How do I put a Medical Pet Shirt on my dog?
For small dogs (with short legs) it is easier to pull it over the head first, then insert the legs one by one into the relevant holes. For larger dogs (with longer legs), first put one leg in, then the head and then the other 3 legs. Then, pull the body of the Medical Pet Shirt down the dog's torso, as far back as it will go. The two ends of the ventral side between the hind legs can be fastened by Velcro on the back. Ensure there is sufficient room for the tail.
Uses
- After surgery; for animals with skin disorders; during oestrus or incontinence.
- The Medical Pet Shirt reduces stress, anxiety and uncertainty after surgery compared to plastic surgical collars
- Animals cannot reach the wound
- Because the Medical Pet Shirt is looser around the belly, the wound is well ventilated and will remain dry
- The Medical Pet Shirt is light blue on the inside, so you can monitor any fluid coming from the wound. A panty liner can be put inside the shirt or between the double layer at the abdomen
- If the animal has been shaved for surgery, it will reduce body temperature. The Medical Pet Shirt Zebra can help to regulate this.
- In skin diseases, where protection is required, the shirt prevents injuries caused to the skin by scratching or biting.
- For oestrus or incontinence
The Medical Pet Shirt prevents blood and/or urine stains around your house. Unlike pet pants, animals cannot easily remove this shirt. As a result, it is more hygienic for the pet and its owner.
What size should I buy for my dog?
First measure your pet from the back of the collar to the beginning of the tail. This should give you a pretty accurate guideline. If in doubt, it is better to order a shirt that is slightly snug rather than too loose. The sizes listed in the table are from the back of the collar to the start of the dog's tail.
It's important to know how to measure your pet properly to ensure that you purchase the right size. The How to determine the right size for my pet article offers insight and tips on the best way to do this!

What if the Medical Pet Shirt doesn't fit?
The Medical Pet Shirt can be removed from the packaging and held up next to your pet in order to check whether it fits. For hygiene reasons, the Shirt cannot be returned if it has come into contact with your pet. If we find that the returned product is stained, worn, contains animal hair, smells or has been washed after use, we cannot return the product to you. In this event, it will be donated to a charity (local shelter). As we are often confronted with Medical Pet Shirts that are returned in a less than new condition, we have to apply these rules for fitting and/or returning products.
