MPS-Protective Pet Shirt Rabbit

Soft, safe protection for rabbits, after procedures or for skin issues. The MPS Protective Pet Shirt Rabbit is specially designed for the unique anatomy of rabbits. This protective shirt offers comfort and targeted protection after medical procedures, wounds, or skin conditions. Thanks to its breathable material and smart fit, your rabbit can move freely and recover safely.

  • It’s specifically shaped for rabbits
  • Serves as a comfortable alternative to the cone
  • Protects wounds and skin problems
  • Includes a sanitary opening tailored to a rabbit’s needs.

How do you measure the rabbit?

The correct size is determined by the rabbit’s weight. If the rabbit is between two sizes, we recommend choosing the smaller one. Also take into account your rabbit's body shape and fur thickness.

Size Length (kg) Length (lbs)
3XS 0.6 - 0.8 kg 1.3 - 1.8 lbs
2XS 0.8 - 1.5 kg 1.8 - 3.3 lbs
XS 1.5 - 2.0 kg 3.3 - 4.4 lbs
S 2.0 - 3.5 kg 4.4 - 7.7 lbs
M 3.5 - 4.5 kg 7.7 - 9.9 lbs
L 4.5 - 5.5 kg 9.9 - 12.1 lbs

 

It’s important that the MPS Protective Pet Shirt Rabbit fits like a second skin. Not too tight, but definitely not too loose either! You don’t want the rabbit to reach the sensitive areas due to an overly wide fit.

Where to buy?

MPS, trusted and loved by pets and veterinarians!

Use the MPS protective rabbit shirt:

✓ Optimal protection after abdominal surgery (spaying) or wounds

After procedures like spaying or when your rabbit needs stitches around the torso, the MPS Protective Pet Shirt Rabbit offers soft, secure, and stress-reducing protection. Unlike a traditional cone, the shirt gently covers the wound area directly, preventing contact with dirt or licking, while giving your rabbit the freedom to move naturally.

Thanks to the breathable cotton fabric and tailored fit, the shirt supports airflow — essential for a safe and speedy healing process. Both veterinarians and pet owners can easily put the shirt on or take it off for wound checks or cleaning.

✓ Hotspots and skin problems

When your rabbit suffers from hotspots or skin irritations on the torso, the MPS Protective Pet Shirt Rabbit offers a comfortable and secure way to support healing. Rabbits often instinctively lick irritated skin to self-soothe or even soother other rabbits in the same enclosure. But excessive licking can worsen the issue, increasing the risk of infections and delayed recovery.

The shirt gently covers the affected area, helping to break the lick-scratch cycle while still allowing airflow through its breathable cotton fabric. This promotes natural healing without stress or discomfort — giving your Rabbit the calm recovery it deserves.

Note: It is important to always keep your rabbit apart from other rabbits during the recovery period as they tend to lick each other and bite the shirt.

✓ Helps prevent overgrooming and excessive licking

Excessive licking can cause the wound or irritated area to grow larger and even infect. If the spot is on the torso, the shirt can help limit this behavior.

✓ Minimalizing hair in your home

Say goodbye to floating pet hair around your home! Rabbits shed most around their torso and that’s exactly where the MPS Protective Pet Shirt Rabbit provides full coverage. Loose hairs are trapped inside the shirt, making it easy to remove and clean.

A smart, simple solution to keep your home tidier during shedding season and your rabbit cozy in the process.

Key features of the Protective Pet Shirt for Rabbits:

Anatomically tailored fit

The shirt is specially designed for the physique of a rabbit. Due to the custom-made opening under the tail, most rabbits can keep the shirt completely closed while using it on the rabbit toilet. Regularly check the opening under the tail. If the shirt is dirty, it should be washed before putting it back on. This reduces the risk of infections.

Monitor wounds with ease and use the extra space for an ice pack or pad

The inside of the protective shirt is light blue, so that wound fluid, blood or dirt can be noticed quickly. In case of moisture loss, a sanitary napkin or gauze can easily be placed on the inside or between the double layer of fabric. Thanks to this double layer, it is also possible to add an ice-pack when needed.

Soft finish for optimal comfort and freedom of movement

The bunny shirt is finished around the front and back legs, tail and neck with a soft, elastic band. This prevents chafing or cutting into the skin and allows the rabbit to move freely during recovery. Even during operations or skin problems between the shoulder blades towards the neck, the sensitive area remains well protected thanks to the extra long, elastic neck collar. The shirt is completely closed, without hard closures or pinching edges.

Press studs for secure and easy fixation

Thanks to the closure at the back, it is almost impossible for the rabbit to take off the shirt himself. At the same time, the shirt can be put on and taken off easily, safely and quickly. For an optimal fit, we recommend always closing all press studs properly.

Find the right size for the best recovery

The correct size is determined by the rabbit’s weight. If your rabbit is between two sizes, we recommend choosing the smaller one. Also take into account your rabbit's body shape and fur thickness.The fit should be secure, like a second skin. Please refer to the sizing chart or watch our step-by-step tutorial.

After neutering our bunny, we decided on this bodysuit. It exceeded our expectations. Despite the fact that our bunny tirelessly tries to take off her bodysuit by pulling and tearing, it has held up and fits like a glove even after several days. The size fits exactly as indicated (by weight).

A great bunny suit that stopped my bunny from eating through her wound again. She has been chewing at it for 10 days and had not managed to break free out of it so it’s strong!
Very well made and easy to put on, although you may need two people if you have a jumpy bunny.

Anything is better than a collar, which I had to use on another rabbit back in the day when there were no bodysuits. The animal suffered a thousand times more from this than from a bodysuit. I am very satisfied and am happy to recommend these bodysuits! :)

TerraX

Very useful for a post-sterilization operation. Good fabric quality and very resistant.
My rabbit weighs 2 kg and size XS is a little tight.

Frequently asked questions:

Do all rabbits tolerate the shirt?

Most rabbits tolerate the MPS Protective Pet Shirt – Rabbit very well. It’s similar to putting on a soft, stretchy onesie – but this one is specially designed for rabbits, offering comfort, protection, and freedom of movement. The shirt is made from breathable, stretchy fabric that adapts to your rabbit’s body while helping to keep wounds, sutures or skin issues safely covered.

Some rabbits may be more agile or determined to remove the shirt. For these curious hoppers, it’s especially important to choose the correct size to ensure a snug, yet gentle fit. The shirt includes practical details and closures that help it stay in place — but supervision is always key.

If your rabbit has an irritating wound or skin condition, they may try to lick, scratch or bite the area. That’s why we always recommend monitoring your pet while wearing the shirt.

Is it safe for my pet and the environment?

Yes, our products are toxic/lead free and safe for pets and environment.

Can my rabbit wear the MPS Protective Pet Shirt all day?

Yes, the MPS Protective Pet Shirt is suitable for long-term wear. Made from 94% high-quality cotton and 6% Invista Lycra® 4-way stretch fabric, it’s breathable and comfortable.

Note: It’s important to wash the shirt regularly. Two shirts are often provided so the rabbit stays protected even when one shirt is washed. Always supervise your pet while wearing the shirt and check that it still fits properly—it shouldn't be too tight or too loose.

Can rabbits stay together while wearing the shirt?

It’s important to keep the rabbit separated from other rabbits during the recovery period, as they may lick each other or bite and nibble at the shirt.

How to recognize an original MPS product?

An MPS Protective Pet Shirt Rabbit is truly original when you spot the yellow MPS logo on the right side. Each legit product also has a wash label with an MPS hologram. No logo or hologram? Then it's not an official product from Medical Pet Shirts Europe B.V. - meaning no guarantee on our quality, safety, and fit.
