Frequently asked questions

Medical Pet Shirt

• Why is there a strap with a press button / snap at the belly side?
  This is the Hold-up system. When nature calls or when taking your dog out for a walk, the Medical Pet Shirt can be opened at the back and rolled inwards and towards at the chest. The lower part can then be fastened with the Hold-up system for extra security. For the best protection, the shirt must always be closed again after a check or walk outside.
• How are the sizes figured?
  Visit the product page and go to the size guide for detailed information.
• Can a cat also wear a Medical Pet Shirt for dogs?
  No, the Medical Pet Shirt for dogs and cats are different in shape and especially designed for the anatomy of a dog or cat. The Medical Pet Shirt for cats have a bigger opening under the tail so the shirt can stay on while using the litter tray.
• Is the Medical Pet Shirt washable?
  Yes the Medical Pet Shirt is machine washable. Please read the manual on the productpage for more detailed information.
• Can dogs and cats tear it apart or chew on it?
  Of course this is always possible. MPS-products are not made from Kevlar, because breathability is very important. Especially very angry animals can damage everything if they want. Fortunately, most pets accept wearing the Medical Pet Shirt and don’t do anything with it. Also, because we use very high-end fabrics, the fabric will not tear more when there is a hole in it. With excessive licking of the wound a napkin can be inserted between the double layer or inside the Medical Pet Shirtto keep the wound dry.
• What is the reason not having a hole at the belly part of the shirt?
  The reason is simple. If there is a hole on the belly side, which then must be large enough to fit all the breeds, the pet can still get to, lick or scratch the wound. The risk of getting a wound infection is also higher with a hole at the belly part of the shirt. The Medical Pet Shirt can be easily opened for taking the dog for a walk.
• Do all dogs, cats or rabbits tolerate the Medical Pet Shirt?
  Most dogs, cats or rabbits tolerate the shirt. It’s the same as using a onesie or T-shirt except that the Medical Pet Shirt is special equipped and made for animals offering pet owners a one stop solution for their pets. Some cats are really athletic and can manage to get out of the Medical Pet Shirt. For those cats it can be made more difficult when the loops inside the collar of the shirt are fitted to a collar. Also, it’s important to choose the right size for the cat. Better a little bit smaller than easy fitted. The stretch fabric of the shirt is made for this. Special attention is always needed when a wound is irritating. The animal might try to scratch, lick and sometimes bite around the wound.
• Is it safe for my pet and the environment?
  Unlike the cone, MPS-products also offers external protection. For example, think of children or other animals who want to play with or cuddle your dog, cat or rabbit.
