Avont cat recovery suit collection
A cat recovery suit is a soft onesie that covers the incision after a spay, neuter or abdominal surgery. It is a gentle alternative to the cone: the suit protects the wound from licking while your cat keeps her vision, her balance and her routine.
Measuring your cat for a recovery suit
Measure the chest just behind the front legs — that is the number every Avont size chart is built on. Then measure the back from the neck to the base of the tail.
Choose the size whose chest range includes your cat. If she sits between two sizes, take the bigger size for a long, slim cat and the smaller for a short, round one; the neck drawstring and the hook-and-loop on the back take up the difference. A proper fit is snug like a T-shirt, never tight over the wound.

About recovery suits for cats
Is a suit a real alternative to the cone?
For wounds on the body — spay incisions, abdominal surgery, skin conditions, hot spots — yes. The suit gives direct protection over the wound instead of a barrier around the head. For wounds on the head, neck or front legs, a cone is still the tool.
Can she use the litter box?
Yes. Avont cat suits are open at the back, so she can eat, drink and use the litter box without being undressed.
Can a suit hold a bandage?
A snug suit keeps a light bandage or dressing in place on the body; ask your vet whether the wound should breathe or stay covered.
How do I wash it?
Machine wash cold below 86°F and air dry. The wave-sleeve suit can also tumble dry on low. Have two suits if you can, so one is always clean.
What purposes is a recovery suit designed for?
To prevent licking and scratching after surgery, to protect skin conditions and hot spots, and to cover a small bandage. The design is the same idea many professional vet clinics use: soft fabric over the wound instead of a barrier around the head.
Are there suits for dogs?
Yes — the Avont dog recovery suit covers the same purposes for dogs, in sizes XS to 2XL, with a bathroom opening.
