DIY Fabric Post-Surgical Jacket

Put your pet in a post-surgical jacket to protect their wounds so they don’t have to wear the dreaded cone! Measure your pet and cut an old t-shirt up the sides to lay it flat. Draw the measurements needed for the jacket and the location of arm and leg holes on the fabric, and cut out the shape of the jacket. Put the jacket on your pet and use safety pins or Velcro fasteners to hold the jacket shut. For a thicker jacket, cut a matching piece of fabric from the other side of the t-shirt, lay the fabrics together and hem the edges with bias tape. Consider giving the surgery cone to your cat or dog for their long-plotted revenge on the cone to commence.
