Post-Operative Comfort for West Highland White Terriers

Recovery from surgery belongs to your vet. Their instructions on wound care, medication, exercise restriction and follow-up are the plan, and nothing here replaces any part of it. Where a Hidez suit can help is with the ordinary business of keeping a West Highland White Terrier comfortable, warm and settled through a confined, boring few weeks.

A West Highland White Terrier on restricted exercise spends far more time standing or lying still than usual. A close-fitting garment retains body warmth, and the steady, even pressure of graduated compression gives the deep-pressure input that helps many dogs rest quietly rather than fret at the confinement. A calmer dog on box rest is easier to keep on box rest.

The suit also puts a smooth, breathable layer of fabric between the West Highland White Terrier and its surroundings, which some owners find helps keep a clipped, sensitive coat clean and covered. Whether a suit is appropriate near a surgical site at all is your vet's call, not ours — ask them before you fit one, and follow what they tell you.
