I highly recommend Pet Shirts, not only for stopping patients from licking at their wounds, but also to prevent them causing trauma with scratching with their back legs. A doggy patient recently had abdominal surgery, and although she could not reach the wound with her mouth, was attempting to scratch with her hind feet. We quickly fitted her for a shirt and it did the trick beautifully. She also looked very fashionable wearing it too. Win win!
