Use the Classic MPS Protective Rabbit Shirt for:
✓ Protection after abdominal surgery (spaying) or wounds
After procedures like spaying or when a rabbit needs stitches around the torso, the Classic 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 a 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.
✓ Help restart gut function after anesthesia
It is essential that rabbits are able to eat their cecotropes again after surgery, as these droppings contain essential vitamins (B and K) and nutrients that help restart gut function after anesthesia. This is nearly impossible when a collar is used.
✓ Hotspots and skin problems
When a rabbit suffers from hotspots or skin irritations on the torso, the Classic MPS Protective Pet Shirt Rabbit offers a comfortable and secure way to support healing. Rabbits often instinctively lick irritated skin or groom themselves to self-soothe, 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 rabbits the calm recovery they deserve.
✓ A break for nursing moms
The Classic MPS Protective Pet Shirt Rabbit offers nursing mother rabbits the rest and protection they deserve. By fully covering the torso, the shirt helps prevent constant nursing, supporting a calm and gradual weaning process.
The shirt protects the nipple area while still allowing easy access at designated times for feeding. Comfortable for the mother, practical for the caregiver — ensuring smooth, stress-free care during this essential phase.
✓ With light incontinence or other stains
The MPS Protective Pet Shirt Rabbit helps keep the rabbit comfortable and contributes to cleanliness during light incontinence. The shirt reduces the risk of urine or blood stains from little accidents on furniture and floors; it offers space to insert a liner on the inside or between the double fabric layer.
The shirt stays firmly in place thanks to the practical fastening at the back. This provides reliable protection without unduly restricting freedom of movement. Comfort for the rabbit, hygiene for the environment.
✓ Helps reduce shedding in the environment
Say goodbye to floating pet hair in the clinic or at home. Rabbits shed most around the torso — precisely where the Classic MPS Protective Pet Shirt Rabbit offers full coverage. Loose hairs are contained within the shirt, making them easy to collect and remove during cleaning.
A smart and practical solution to support cleanliness during shedding season, while maintaining comfort for the rabbit.
A streamlined version of the signature MPS - Protective Pet Shirt
While the familiar Protective Pet Shirt continues as part of the Signature Line, tailored for maximum versatility in both clinical and at-home settings, the Classic Line puts the focus on core functionality. The same essential features as the original shirt, but simplified to make it accessible to anyone due to the cost-efficient design. All while providing full-torso coverage to protect wounds, surgical sites, and skin conditions during recovery, no compromising quality whatsoever.
Although the Classic Line contains fewer features than the Signature Line of the MPS Protective Pet Shirt for Rabbits, the foundation of the product remains fully preserved. Designed according to the anatomy of rabbits, known for its breathability and comfort.
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.
Soft finish for optimal comfort and freedom of movement
The rabbit 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 and foldable neck border. 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 by owners or vet professionals. 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.

Frequently asked questions:
When to use the Signature shirt and when to use the Classic shirt?
The Classic Line offers a practical solution for veterinary clinics and animal shelters looking for a reliable and cost-efficient choice for standard recovery care. This line is ideal for larger volumes and everyday use. The Signature Line remains the preferred choice for situations where additional features are required for more complex procedures and or intensive aftercare.
Both lines are developed with the same trusted fit, comfort, and quality that you expect from MPS.
Why does the Classic Line have a different color than the Signature Line?
To make it easier to distinguish between the two variants in practice, we chose a different color for the Classic Line instead of the standard blue used for the Signature Line.
There’s extra space around the belly. Is that normal?
Yes, this space promotes air circulation to help wounds heal faster.
What if a rabbit puts its nose under the shirt and licks or bites the wound?
If a rabbit can reach under the shirt, it’s likely too big. A proper fit ensures the shirt fits snugly like a second skin, making it difficult for a rabbit to access the wound. Check here how to choose the right size easily.
Can a 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 a rabbit stays protected even when one shirt is washed. Always supervise a pet while wearing the shirt and check that it still fits properly—it shouldn't be too tight or too loose.
How to recognize an original MPS product?
Each legit product 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.
