GoGoPaw Dog Elbow Protector Sleeve for Front Legs, Adjustable Recovery Support

GoGoPaw Dog Elbow Protector is an adjustable front-leg recovery sleeve designed to protect skin and support the elbow and shoulder areas, with five sizes for a more considered fit.

• A cone alternative for recovery — helps protect the affected area and limit licking and tearing.
• Elbow and shoulder coverage — designed for dogs with hygroma, dysplasia, arthritis or shoulder dislocation.
• Adjustable buckle strap — secures around the chest and flank while allowing fit adjustments.
• Soft neoprene and a cotton-spandex blend — washable and reusable for repeated use.
• Veterinarian input and recommendations — designed with veterinary input and tested on breeds including Labradors and golden retrievers.

After surgery or when a dog is dealing with an irritated elbow area, a cone or loose bandage may not provide the kind of coverage needed around the front leg. This sleeve is made to cover and protect the area while allowing a dog to stand, run or lie down. It can also be worn over a bandage to help keep it clean and reduce access to licking or tearing.

What is the GoGoPaw Dog Elbow Protector designed to do?

The sleeve is designed to protect the front-leg skin and support the elbow and shoulder areas. Its coverage is intended for post-surgery recovery and for dogs with hygroma, dysplasia, arthritis or shoulder dislocation; it also helps warm the joint area. By limiting access to licking and tearing, it helps protect the affected area and any bandage beneath it.

• Made for front-leg coverage around the elbow.
• Designed to help protect wounds and support a cleaner bandage.

How does the sleeve fit around a dog?

The adjustable buckle strap wraps around the chest and flank and can be tightened or loosened for your dog. Choose from five available sizes, measuring around the widest part of the chest, usually just behind the front legs, to guide your size choice. The strap is designed to provide flexibility for standing, running and lying down.

• Measure the chest at its widest point behind the front legs.
• The strap provides gentle compression, which is intended to help soothe anxiety.

What is it made from, and how is it used?

GoGoPaw uses soft neoprene and a cotton-spandex blend for this washable, reusable front-leg protector. Put the sleeve over the area to be protected; it can also cover a bandage to help prevent tearing and limit licking. The sleeve is positioned as an alternative to pet cones and recovery bandages, while also being usable over a bandage when coverage is needed.

• Washable and reusable construction.
• Can be worn during everyday positions and movement, including lying down.

This sleeve is suited to dog owners seeking adjustable front-leg coverage during recovery or to protect an elbow area, including when a bandage needs an outer layer. Its five size options, chest-and-flank strap and washable fabric make it a reusable protector for dogs that need elbow and shoulder-area coverage rather than a cone alone.
