Highlighted Reviews
"The Suitical recovery suit was a great alternative to the dreaded cone. It fit quite snuggly, but my cat, Cheddar was much happier, wearing the suit, then knocking into walls with the cone. I would highly recommend it."
"Fit was fantastic, but material was incredibly poor quality and was torn to shreds almost immediately. I love the design, but the incredibly high price is hard to justify when the material is so insufficient, will be switching back to Chewy's in-house brand shirts."
Bottom Line
If you're looking for a recovery solution that might be more comfortable for your cat than a cone, this suit is worth considering. However, be prepared for potential durability and sizing issues.
