Was helpful to use after my dog had TPLO surgery. I waited to use it once his incision was no longer weeping. It does stretch through as instructions note. I first thought it might be too small. Hand washing and drying seemed to be the best way to clean. Label does want to peel off after wash and wear so make sure you keep track of which leg you need it for and how to put it in. Hold on to the instructions for this reason. Will use again for the other leg surgery in a few months. Easily ordered and fast shipping. Would buy again.
