Question 2

Could this be used for a cat? My cat is around 5kilos so large. He has stitches on his leg but keeps getting the bandage off

Accepted Answer

you could try the smaller sizes which would be more cat size and they would be purrfect!!! great for stopping them licking wounds/stitches even our vet was impressed washable too

Question 3

Can the sleeve help a sore elbow/shoulder, if yes which size for an English bulldog ?

Accepted Answer

Hi, I suppose it depends what the problem is. We bought it after an operation on my dogs leg and he wouldn't leave the wound alone to heal. The fabric is quite thin, and he wore through the elbow of the sleeve quite quickly, between lying on it and licking at it. If it's cushioning you're after this won't help. We bought a medium for our springer. Good luck.

Question 4

Is it breathable material

Accepted Answer

Hi - There is no suggestion on the label that the sleeve is breathable. The definitive answer may have to come from the manufacturer - designed in the Netherlands and made in India. The label says its 97% cotton and 3% lycra, so you could compare it to a T-shirt, but much thicker. We've used these sleeves on two of our dogs - our previous German Shepherd for post-operation protection - our current Lab to stop him licking and damaging his fur on his front legs overnight (one on each leg). Neither of our dogs seemed to suffer with sweating beneath the sleeves. I recall that our vet mentioning that removing the sleeve from time to time after our dog's op would help the healing process. Hope some of this helps.
