DESIGNED
BY A
VETERINARY
SURGEON
Dr. David Allman is a Board Certified Canine Surgeon from Austin, Texas who specializes in orthopedic surgery repairs. He currently owns and manages Mobile Veterinary Specialist to provide expert surgery options for area veterinary clinics with difficult orthopedic cases.
After years of receiving multiple calls from dog owners who were frustrated with the ineffective Cone-Of-Shame, he designed a home-made device by cutting up a long sleeve sweat shirt in a unique pattern.
WE HAVE A
WINNER
ON OUR
HANDS
After several trials & errors with fabrics, buckles and straps, he eventually landed on a product that met his stringent requirements of fit, function and comfort.
Both veterinarians and dog owners overwhelmingly prefer the most common alternative, Lick Sleeve®. The Lick Sleeve® stays on 3 times longer– helping dogs heal faster and recover from surgery comfortably.
