Cut a hole in the onezie for the tail. Snap the snaps like you would a baby. Very easy. You will have to unsnap for the baby to pee or pooh of course.

I just went out last night and bought two onesies for Maggy May, as she'll be getting spayed July 8th and I to am trying to be completely prepared. I figured it would be best to get two of them, that way when one is being washed, I have another one to put on her. This isn't a close up of the snap part, but you can see her tail under her. All I did was snapped the two side snaps and left the middle one un snapped and put her tail through it. I had to get the premie size though, as she only weighs 4 pounds 9 ounces, the newborn ones would have been way to big for her.

Ooooh what a cute little baby. My Abbey is getting spayed soon also and I'm running out to get some of these for her as well. I just think those E-collars look so terrible...Can you imagine wearing one yourself. Poor babies.

if you put it on upside down with the flap that goes between the skin babies leg coming up on your babies back near their tail . You snap one snap put the little tail in and snap the other. Here is a picture.. (I got Ozzy a newborn size and he weighed 3lbs 12oz)

that's what i do. i don't cut a hole for peeing, when i took Layla out i just undid it. I didn't want it to get dirty in case the hole was too small then that wet partwould have been next to her stiches.

I found a couple of premie onsies on Ebay dirt cheap and bought them. I am preparing for Skeeter's neutrer. I have never had a problem with any of my dogs messing with their stitches though so I don't even know if I will use them.

he's so cute....that's what I did...just don't snap the middle snap...tail between the two. works great

Hehe, it DOES work out better if you put it with the snaps on the top of the butt instead of on the lower part of the butt. I just put her other one on her and it's a lot more comfy for her this way.

Do you use the onesies so they don't have to wear that terrible looking cone around their head??

Mia gets spayed in a couple of weeks... I'm so nervous!! I better go get me a pack of onesies!

Yes, that's why I got the onesies. A lot of ladies on here said their lil ones didn't do well at all with the E-collars at all. I have a boxer that was neutered years back and he had to wear the E-collar and he hated it, so with what I've read here and with my experience with my male boxer being neutered, I decided to get the onesies for Maggy May so she wouldn't be aggrivated by the E-collar.

I'm not sure about all stores, but Walmart has the onesies in a 5 pack for about $9 or $10. I snapped just the snaps on either side and left the center one unsnapped like others described. When Madison needed to go outside to go potty, I just unsnapped it and kind of folded it up, or rolled it under on his back and front so it wouldn't get dirty. Works like a charm.

Madison doesn't have external stitches, however I found that he really isn't licking the area at all, so I guess I didn't really need them. It was nice to have the first day anyway, just to make me feel more comfortable that he wasn't licking when I wasn't looking. And they look so sweet in them

Yep, they do have those packs of the, I just came back from there and looked and their like $9.88 for a pack of 5, I ended up taking Maggy May's premies back and getting the newborn size cause I was afraid after I washed them they'd shrink and she wouldn't be able to wear them anymore. This way at least she'll be able to wear them in the winter to keep warm when she's playin on the floor, this old farm house is quite drafty in the winter I agree, they do look so darn cute in them!

Yes, I've washed two of Madison's and they don't shrink much but they do shrink a little bit. Actually, now it fits him better.

And to the person who said to turn them around....YES! that way, it won't cover up their tail at all! That worked great, plus, that way you can see the cute picture that's on the front of it...great idea!
