Recommended for dogs and cats, especially puppies, who dislike post-operative clothing. My own pet hated and chewed on post-operative clothing, but was able to wear this belly band until the wound healed (*^^*) Also, it's great even after it's done its job as post-operative clothing! It can be used as a belly band when it's cold or for stomachaches, so it's a two-for-one deal!! The length is short, so it can be used by male dogs without getting urine on it. It's made of knit material, so it stretches. Some people also purchase it as a belly band for manners. This is a handmade item, so please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor details. #DogBellyBand #CatBellyBand #PostOperativeClothing #BellyBand #MannersBelt
