It works
I use this for my blue nose pit female. She can’t be spayed for a while because of a medical issue so when she comes in heat we use this with a pad. It works extremely well. It’s easy to raise up (Velcro) for potty time. My only problem is when she decides she wants it off it comes off. Usually at night is when she does this and I really can’t figure out how. It fits her really well. I’m not sure if it’s a design flaw or my dog is Hoodini and could escape from a straight jacket. Either way it’s saved our future and carpet many times so I would recommend.

Very beneficial post surgery
Very nice post surgical vest and allows our dog to be “herself”, allows her to eat and drink, play, sniff etc. She was very disoriented and uncomfortable with the post surgical cone after being spayed but this vest allowed her to be free, comfortable and it still deterred her from biting or scratching on the sutures. The material is breathable and soft. Velcro holds tight.

Used to be a great product with room for improvement, now just needing improvement.
The Surgi Snuggly is a pretty much amazing product. I have loved having it because it's very easy to use and my dog doesn't seem to mind it at all. My boxer is used to wearing dog hoodies throughout the winter since she has such short fur and we used to live in Colorado. She has always been quite comfortable with dog shirts and sweaters. The only difference between this item and her shirt is that this closes at the back to keep a diaper up.My dog tends to have "accidents" in carpeted areas and we just recently moved back into an apartment full of carpet. While she's fully house trained, I don't want to give her the opportunity to pee inside and get the scent stuck in the carpet for her to want to keep coming back to. In the previous apartment, once she had peed in the hallway carpet a few times, it seemed like she no longer cared about trying to hold it for 3-4 hours and would just squat whenever she felt like it. I would shampoo the carpets WEEKLY because of her habit. All of that description is to point out that she is NOT using this for post-surgery and it isn't even necessary to hold up a diaper - she just needs SOMETHING there that will be wet if she squats to keep her from going.I've used this every single day for 2 months now. I will take it off of her during the day if I'm home on weekends but it must be on her if I'm leaving the house or overnight. I have used diapers with it but, as I state above, she doesn't really require the actual diaper to discourage the squats, so I've stopped using them. One thing to note - I ordered a large based on the size charge and it seemed a tad big from the very first time I put it on her. I had to tie knots in the straps to shorten them enough to use. After a few days, the suit started to stretch out more and more. It's still quite usable, but there are just more knots tied in the suit to keep it to where the tail-hole isn't too low (she has a nub). I have washed it a few time and put it in the dryer to try to shrink it a bit. This SLIGHTLY helps for a day or so, but it is certainly not enough to make much of a difference.I've noticed that with the daily use, this product has a tendency to rub lines on her inner back legs where the straps are pulled under to secure over her back. I'm not sure if it's simply that she doesn't have any fur there and it causes rubbing. It could also be that I've had to tie the knots and they cause irritation. It's not terrible, just obvious red lines. It's possible that buying the "right" size (for my dog, not based upon the chart), this issue would be reduced.In my opinion, the biggest issue with the suit is the quality. This is somewhat of a double edged sword for me, unfortunately. I live in TX, so the summer is HOT. I let my apartment stay relatively warm, so I like that this is such a thin t-shirt material to keep her from overheating as bad. Because of the super thin material and their lack of finishing the edge for the front leg holes, this material has stretched and torn open at the leg holes. This isn't a HUGE issues, other than making for a kind of funky looking front and, eventually, leading to the suit needing to be replaced.I would still recommend this to anyone looking for a diaper keeper or just a body suit with the hind-end closure. There is a competitor with a similar concept on this website, but I'm not sure that the issues with this product are enough to make me want to go for another brand vs. replacing this suit with a smaller replica.UPDATE:The company seems to have taken the unfinished seams comment into consideration and completely redesigned the product. This includes a new material and different cut pattern, including sewing off the seams for the arm holes. I now sincerely regret asking for this as I now cannot stand this product. I had originally given this 4 stars, now I cannot give more than 2. :(The new material is more like the moisture wicking material used for under armour or athletic clothing. I thought this would be great, but it now "travels" down her body with any movement. By this, I mean that it starts out at a reasonable tightness at the front, but within a few movements, it is tight in the front and the suit has moved down her body. This would be fine if the finished seams didn't cut her legs. The main issue with the suit, partially due to the suit shifting, is that the seams around the front leg holes now rub her arms and cause super angry red cuts. Which, since it's her front legs, she has plenty of access to lick obsessively and make even worse. I try to pull the suit to be loose in the front and it immediately shifts to be too tight in the front. I have tried simply tying the leg holes wider open to reduce the rubbing, but the material is so easily shifting that the ties just move right along with the suit and tightened right around her legs once again.I purchased the correct size by measurements, a LS, and immediately sent that one back. I loved this product so I wanted to try once more but now I've purchased an XLL and still have the same problems. I will have to send this back and begin the search for a new product that doesn't hurt my dog.Another thing that really irks me is that I get my brand new suit and the directions tell me that I need to cut a "v" in the back straps to make them long enough. That is ridiculous. I bought an XLL (a size too large and she should actually be using a short suit, based upon her measurements) and now I need to cut the suit to fit. WHAT? The suits finished seams are made useless by this, why is it standard to have short little stumpy straps for an XLL suit?I will say that the company appears to care, though the solution isn't overly amazing for my situation. They email to see how I am liking the product and offer to resolve any concerns through that email address. I did send in this description of my issues with the new design and she got back to me in a few days. I just cannot justify keeping a relatively expensive product that constantly hurts my dog.

Love it but has flaws
The media could not be loaded. I ordered two sizes for my two females they are masters at taking their diapers off. One female is on her period so when i slipped this on the first day she of course made her itch but she wasn’t able to get the diaper off and it was easy to slip the bottom piece off so she can go potty.But since she does sleep in bed with us this was the part that worried me. some how this dog had gotten her front have out of the snugi and it was only on her bottom half. we wake up put her back in it the right way. when i wake up again she has all 4 legs tucked into the snugi now unable to move because she trapped her self. i mean i was really confused how she did this to her self.this is a great product but i think maybe some extra reinforcement in the front to keep it from constantly slipping back like extra straps to tight. also in the back to have a bigger area for the straps to tighten too.she is a 52 pound short pitbull and is a master mind of escaping. i don’t think she would mind it so much if the material didn’t push her short hair in a direction to make her itch.i will update you when my other dog goes into heat and keep you updated when they both go through their spay surgery’s with this product as well thanks.

IF i could give it a zero star I would
This product is a joke. I waited patiently for it to arrive. After it arrived I opened it and put it on my dog. While the "fit" was close to what we needed the actual product is completely defective. THERE WAS ONLY ONE SIDE to the Velcro! There is absolutely NO WAY to attach the strips or flap to anything they just fly around. If you want to go out and buy additional two sided velcro and re-sow the whole item to then configure it to actually stick together then get this product. If you dont - DO NOT waste your time the product is defective and does not work at all. Complete false advertising that it Velcro's together.

Love the longer sizes! Tail hole very small
My dog has some minor urine leaking and sometimes I use this with a panty liner!The tail hole is extremely tight and I had to stretch it before putting it on.It’s well made but I also haven’t washed it yet.I appreciate the longer options as my dog is long for her size.

Its is as advertise
I use a regular always wing kotex for women and it's a perfect fit for my girl who is 16 and tend to leak at night in bed . Trust me this is a life saver without changing habits

Not Pleased
We were not pleased with these. They were very expensive and did not fit our dogs although we measured and ordered according to their instructions. They were too awkward to position when they were outside to do their other business,
