No Dog Offset Level? Top Answer Update

Ron invented the No-Dog in 1987 to help electricians make accurate offset bends in metal tubing. He transitioned from working as a journeyman wireworker to making and selling this tool full-time, and this business has supported his family for nearly three decades.

Ron had a very special bond with dogs, especially Nick, the Border Collie he grew up with; Misho, the Belgian Malanois who took care of his children during his teenage years; Sam, the border collie mix he loved later in life; and Otto, his son AJ’s St. Bernard.

Ronald V. Aubrey, inventor of the No-Dog Offset Level, passed away on March 23, 2016 after a long battle with cancer. He was 71. Ron has been involved in many things throughout his life including Electrician (IBEW LU 369), United States Marine, Inventor and Small Business Owner. He was a thinker who also worked with his hands. If something broke, he would fix it himself. If there was a complex problem to solve, he would invent and build something to solve it. He loved nature, especially the lake and working in the garden. Ron also had an affinity for music. At a young age he played guitar in a rock band with his friends, and throughout his life he loved discovering and sharing songs with skillful instrumental pieces.

For best results: Position the tube in the bender. Attach No-Dog to the cable channel at both ends as shown below. Don’t move No-Dog until all bends are done to make sure all bends are on the same plane. Adjust the bending pressure on the tube so the tube is snug but loose enough to be rotated with a pair of Channelloks, a pipe wrench, or a chain wrench. Rotate the line until No-Dog is level. Bend the pipe to the desired angle. Release bending pressure. Rotate the pipe 180 degrees and position it at the next bend mark. Repeat steps 3 and 4. Make the next bend. Repeat steps 6, 7, 8, and 9 for more bends on the same level.

NOTE: By treating the first bend as if it were the second bend, all subsequent bends will be perfect even if the bender is not level.

When bending tubing, we must be careful not to overbend our barrels between draw points. I’ve seen too many times, and made the mistake myself early on, of people doing excellent cane work but forgetting to put pull points between their bends. There is a certain point where you will NOT be able to pull conductors through the line.

358.26 states:

358.26 bends – count in one run. “There must be no more than the equivalent of four quarter bends (total of 360 degrees) between pull points, e.g. B. duct bodies and boxes.”

This is because you can damage the insulation around the conductors if you pull in too many or try to pull them back out. There are other factors to consider such as bundling and heat dissipation, but most importantly, physical damage to the conductors is a major concern. It’s fun though…watching this apprentice hanging from the ceiling, yanking on a fish tape (their…not yours) and trying to thread wire through a stretch of pipe they just screwed up. Then you can teach without saying anything.

In the world of industrial hoses, a claw leg refers to an assembly made by joining two lengths of hose with a 90º bend to allow two planes of motion movement in a piping system. These assemblies can be an excellent solution for a piping system when dealing with vibration from multiple directions!

Uncontrolled movement is one of the strongest design obstacles in the industry. In papermaking, the rolling and rotating dryer can is one of the most notorious culprits. The continuously spinning dryers put tremendous stress on their pivots, and over time the dryers begin to vibrate and exhibit movement that can wreak havoc on surrounding piping. This movement combined with the heat, steam, condensate and chemical nature of this environment make a flexible metal tubing component the ideal solution. Hose Master has been helping the paper industry with this problem for years through the use of their high quality dogleg assemblies.

Uncontrolled movements are best addressed with a design that can fully accommodate multiple levels. A dogleg hose consists of two complete assemblies joined by an elbow that combines their flexibility and allows the assembly to provide a combination of up, down and sideways movement. To reduce the number of leak points and increase the hose’s overall flexible length, Hose Master employs expertly trained welders to make these hoses a fully welded assembly.

The advantages of a dogleg assembly include:

temperature resistance. 100% stainless steel construction for best resistance to high steam temperatures

corrosion resistance. 321 and 316 series stainless steel and alloy C276 provide excellent corrosion resistance

Less downtime. Longer life means less downtime and maintenance costs

Reliability. Fully welded assembly means fewer leaks and more reliability

Learn how to bend an offset. wilderness

What is an offset bend?

One of the more common bends in electrical wiring is the offset bend: a technique used to move a run of wire a specified distance to one side, up, or down. It is very rare that the line can be run in a straight line the full distance required. Usually there are small ledges in the way, other equipment to navigate around, or other reasons to move the line some distance.

When bending tubing, one of the most important things to consider is the total number of degrees of bend between the pull boxes. The NEC (National Electric Code) limits this number to 360º and some working specifications limit it even further. Fewer degrees of bend also result in an easier pull when it comes to feeding the wire into the conduit – always a good thing. While misalignment may be unavoidable and necessary when bending, the degree of bending is variable depending on the circumstances and the electrician performing the job.

An offset consists of two bends:

The first bend should change the direction the line runs. The second should reverse this change of direction. The result is a more “Z” shaped piece of tubing as shown in the images below.

The most common bend used is a 30º bend followed by another equal bend, resulting in a total bend of 60º, but this is not necessary in most cases. Bends of 10º, 22º and occasionally 45º or even 60º are marked on all hand benders and should be used when required. The difference is in the multiplier, as discussed below.

Using the multiplier when bending an offset

The multiplier is the number of the measured offset distance by which it is multiplied to get the distance between the two bends.

Remember this number for common 10, 22, 30, and 45 degree bends. Many benders have the multiplier permanently stamped on the back of the bender – a useful option for the beginning electrician. These numbers are also shown in the table below.

After the offset distance has been measured, multiply this measurement by the appropriate multiplier from the chart. These numbers are all in decimals, although most people use a tape measure marked in fractions of an inch. The decimals need to be converted to fractions to be useful.

Few electricians will attempt to mark and bend tubing in increments less than 1/8 inch (the bending process just isn’t that accurate), so the number must be converted to such a fraction. I’ve listed the decimal equivalents of multiples of 1/8″ in the next table. Half of these you’ll probably recognize and the other half will be easy to remember.

Don’t be afraid to round your numbers – 1/1000th of an inch just isn’t enough to worry about!

For example, let’s say the distance needed is 3½ inches and we want to use a 22º bend. The multiplier for 22º is 2.6 and 3½ inches is 3.5 inches in decimal notation. Using a calculator we find that 2.6 times 3.5 equals 9.1″. Now 9.1″ is very close to 9.125″ (the difference is only 0.025″), what we can see from the graph is 9 1 /8″. The difference between 9.1 and 9.125 is less than 1/32 of an inch. That’s probably less than half the width of the sharpie line you’ll draw on the pipe! Don’t worry. Use simply the 9 1/8 inch number.

Avoid this common trap!

From the multiplier chart below we can see that the multiplier for a 30º bend is exactly 2. Therefore, many electricians only bend 30º offsets; The math required is simple and easy. This practice also results in unnecessarily sharp bends, harsher cable pulls, and often extra junction boxes. It can also add labor time and money and cause extra labor during wire drawing. This practice is easy to avoid. Almost everyone carries a cell phone with a calculator these days, and even if you don’t, you can still multiply two numbers.

Do it right.

Use a bend appropriate to the task. A large offset of 3 feet will likely require 45º arcs, while a small one of a few inches will usually do with 22º or even 10º arcs. It’s true that getting 10° bends perfect can be difficult and that calculating for 22° or 45° offsets takes a moment of effort, but neither is an excuse for poor workmanship.

A final word on multipliers

A final word on multipliers: when bending large pipe, a protractor is generally used to measure the exact angle being bent, since the angle markings used on a hand bender are not stamped on large pipe benders. This leads to an interesting possibility: any desired angle can be used if you know the right multiplier. My article on the math behind bending lines describes how to find any multiplier and explains where these numbers come from.

Bending the offset in EMT

The actual bending process begins with measurements. The distance the harness must move must be measured as accurately as possible.

1. A good way to do this is to temporarily run a line where the run will end but protrudes out of and alongside the existing run. In the photo below, the line coming from the right should continue, but the obstacle prevents it. The top tube is the end of the barrel and is only routed there for measuring.

Measured directly between the original, lower, and temporary, upper line, the distance is exactly 3 1/8″

2. Measure at right angles directly from one pipe to the other. Don’t try to measure along the path the offset will take. Take the measurement directly from the bottom to the top line, making sure that if the measurement starts at the bottom of one line, it ends at the bottom of the other. Center-to-center or top-to-top measurements are equally acceptable as long as the same point is used on each line.

3. In the photo, the measurement is 3 1/8 inches. A 22º bend is used, so the calculated distance between bends is 3.125 inches by 2.6 inches, which equals 8.125 inches, or 8 1/8 inches. The photo shows the original lower line against the obstruction. It’s actually 36 inches at the back, with a temporary extension added to take measurements. Mark the new line at 36 inches, then back again 8 1/8 inches from the first mark at 27 7/8 inches.

bending the offset

Most offset bends are made “in the air”. This means using the bender upside down with the grip on the ground and the bender foot in the air.

Insert the tube into the bender with the 38″ mark positioned at the arrow normally used to bend a 90. (You can use any marking on the bender, as long as you use it for both bends. The tip of the bender is often more handy for offsets that you want to start near the end of the pipe.) The bender handle will likely knock out when it’s on bent this way. Use a foot or foot and leg to hold it in one spot on the floor (see photo of the bending process). Bend the pipe slowly, keeping the pressure as close to the bender as possible. Although greater leverage makes it easier, be careful! Applying pressure a few feet behind the bender will result in an unsatisfactory bending of the pipe until it matches the desired mark (22° in this case) on the bender.

Bending the second offset bend. Not the foot and leg position that keeps the bend grip firmly in place.

Align the second bend with the 22 degree mark

final steps

Rotate the tube 180º and aim to make sure it’s exactly 180º. Slide it forward in the bender until the second mark aligns with the same location on the bender that was used for the first bend and repeat the tube bending process. Check that the line is still flat. Lay it on the floor, making sure both ends are lying flat. A slight dogleg (caused by improper rotation between bends) can sometimes be worked out, but often the tube must be discarded and a new one bent.

At this point, the finished offset is complete just short of the obstacle. This is due to the shrinkage of the tube and is inevitable when bending offsets. If this is unacceptable, the first mark should be made a few inches too far, the second (in the example) the same 8.125 inches from the first mark, and the finished bend test adjusted, marked, and clipped to fit. While it’s possible to calculate shrinkage (see the page on the math behind tube bending), it’s rarely worth doing.

When bending in this position, the finished offset bend will have a dogleg in it. Make sure the tube is straight in the bender

Completed Offset, The left bend mark is barely visible on the top of the tube, while the right mark has been made clear around the tube for easier alignment on the bender.

Bending a roll offset

In the example above, the offset was built so the line goes straight up, but what if we didn’t just have to go up, but to one side as well? While it’s possible to build two completely offset arcs back-to-back, this also results in a larger number of degrees – not a good idea unless absolutely necessary. Instead, you can build a “rolling” offset by running the pipe in a bend both up and to the side. Learn to think in three dimensions, and whenever possible let your bends do more than one job at a time. A “kick 90″ is another example of this and is described on the page about bending a 90.

The measurement and procedure for bending a roll offset is identical to the method listed above, but actually measuring may require a little more description.

When measuring for a rolling offset, place the tape measure perpendicular to the pipe from pipe to pipe. Take a measurement from a point on the first line to the corresponding point on the second. This usually means measuring from one side rather than the top or bottom. Make sure you are not measuring from the left side of one line to the right side of the other. This results in an offset that is too long or too short.

Measurement for roll misalignment.

As an example, consider the same offset used above, except the top line is shifted about 6 inches to one side and 3 1/8 inches up. The photo above shows the correct measurement between the original and temporary lines and shows that the total measurement is 7¼ inches. Notice how the tape measure is hooked across the side of the bottom conduit and laid in a straight line to the second conduit regardless of the angle it is at. At this distance, the total offset length is a little long when using 22º arcs, so we’ll do this with 30º arcs. The multiplier for 30º is 2, so we need a 14½” gap between the marks.

The bending process is also the same as in the example above, yielding the tube pictured with a long enough offset that it can be “rolled” to one side. It easily fits into the corner of the second obstacle while maintaining the same vertical distance change of 3 1/8″. This offset contains a total of 60º of bend; compared to two 22º offsets, it saves 28º of bend and is much easier to manage pull wire through.

Completed roll offset, movement both up and to the right.

Answer questions

Question: With 1″ rigid pipe, what bends should I use for a 5″ offset?

Answer: I would probably use 22 1/2 degree bends.

Question: How do you bend small offsets like 1 inch or 1 1/2?

Answer: In a smaller pipe, a hand bender can even offset 1 inch with 10° elbows. The marks are spaced 6 inches apart and that is perfectly doable. However, larger pipes like 4-inch lines become a guessing game.

Question: What is the maximum number of 90 degree bends allowed between junction boxes in an EMT link?

Answer: As with all other bends, the total number of bends must not exceed 360. If all bends are 90 degrees, this means that the maximum number of bends between junction boxes cannot exceed 4.

Question: How do you make the pipe roll when making a pipe bend?

Answer: Just bend the offset and then rotate the tube so that it doesn’t stand straight at the top and bottom, but rolls to the side. The bending process is exactly the same as if there were no roll – any desired roll is made during the installation of the pipe.

Question: What is the multiplier when bending 2″ EMT 30 degrees?

Answer: The same as any other pipe size. Two. The difference is not in the tube size, but in the number of degrees that are bent.

Question: How much does a rigid pipe that is offset 30 degrees shrink?

Answer: It depends on how big an offset is made. However, the shrinkage is dependent neither on the type of line nor on the size of this line.

There is an example in the article on the math behind benders, but it should be helpful. It is the breaking in of a 3-point saddle; how far the center of the saddle is from the computed desired point. Since this only depends on half the saddle, which is an offset, it will give the answer you are looking for. Please refer to this article: https://hubpages.com/home-improvement/EMT-Electric…

@Caleb: If you have the space I would use 10 degree bends with a multiplier of 6. If not, use 22 degrees with a multiplier of 2.6. The graphic in the article shows this.

Racheal F. To say the Lick Sleeve is a “lifesaver” would be an understatement. What a great idea! Quality is top notch. Fits great (Kory is ~54lbs, medium size). Shipped quickly. Washed well and kept its shape/elasticity. And most importantly, it gave us peace of mind (and him a much-needed break from that dreaded pubic cone) while Kory recovered from his TPLO surgery. After removing his bandage (after day 5) – the cone was unbearable while needed so I went online and discovered Lick Sleeve. Today (07/12/2022) 3 weeks have passed and the sleeve helped enormously. I would highly recommend this to anyone who needs extra coverage to protect the incision site for the first two weeks. Note: During the day (under supervision) Kory only wore the sleeve and left it alone. At night (during the first 2 weeks) on the advice of both the Lick Sleeve team and our vet I still left the cone WITH the Lick Sleeve although Kory was fine during the day (which turned out to be for the best as he slipped one off at night! ). Despite this cone trick, his sleeve was still intact. Hopefully I won’t need it for the other leg in the future but if I do I now have the lick sleeve to use on either back leg… Happy healing to all the other dog parents out there and trust me – you will of yours Buy not be disappointed. Thanks again Lick Sleeve Team!!!!

Sandra B. My Labradoodle and I love this product. She wore a cone after knee surgery and felt miserable. I hated taking the cone off and putting it back on multiple times a day. I bought the case. It was easy to put on. I just rolled one cuff instead of cutting the fabric as it was too long. It washed wonderfully. Good product!

Michele W. I bought this last minute before my dog’s TPLO surgery. He wore it for a bit, my dog ​​has sensitive skin so we stopped for a bit when we found the chafing. I am very impressed that it is reversible. So if he has his second tplo operation, we can use it for more than just that operation. It doesn’t seem to bother him and we just roll up the bottom part of it so hopefully if my other dog ever needs it he can carry it too. It’s really a nice thing to have. Saves him from always having to wear his cone until the threads come out.

Tony H. My black lab recently had knee surgery. It seems like she likes the licking arm a lot more than the pubic cone. She has a very small waist, so I often have to check to make sure the sleeve is in the right place and hasn’t slipped down her bottom.

Sharon R. Finally after two years of trying multiple cases this is a blessing. Kinley chewed and ripped off many objects. She doesn’t mind and feels very comfortable.

Keith K. My dog ​​ended up not needing surgery but he loved the lick arm! I think it comforted him. He let me put it on with no problem and wore it with no problem.

Dawn 100% recommend this instead of a cone!! My dog ​​had TPLO surgery and wore it for 14 days and it was a savior. Not only is it more comfortable for my dog ​​and prevents her from licking her wound, but it also prevents my other dogs from licking her! No dog wants to feel crappy and uncomfortable with a cone on their head so this was the best alternative! Thank you lick sleeve you made my dogs 14 days easy and comfortable.

Diane F. I have a 20 lb dog that had TPLO surgery and got his stitches. This case saved me. It’s a lot more sensible than the E-cone. He managed to slide it off 3-4 times which was disappointing. I would like to see the top opening smaller to prevent that.

Danielle B. This is a game changer. Our baby is 4 days post-op and it arrived today (we spotted it the night of the op and ordered it quickly!). There is a bit of sticker shock but after struggling with the plastic cone, the soft and flexible cone, the inflatable cone and 2 pairs of pants for her which my husband was trying to make because she was so upset with the cones, the came Lick sleeve. And finally, a peaceful calm has settled over our home that used to be a little stressful with our sweet baby girl moaning and crying every time we tried to get a Kegel. Thank you, Lick Sleeve. You saved a little bit of our sanity. It’s hard to see your baby feeling any kind of distress or anxiety and this product is a game changer. We are SOOOO glad we found you!!!! ❤️

Dianne D. That worked great. It meant no cone for rear left knee surgery. stayed clean. According to the instructions it stretched a little and I adjusted it twice a week which was easy with the buckle. It was long and I just folded it over the ankle and it stayed that way. I would highly recommend.

Laurie M. This is our boy’s 2nd CCL surgery and he made it so much better with Lick Sleeve. No infection this time. We had to send the first one back as it was between sizes. The medium worked great! Very satisfied. Thank you Lick Sleeve!

Thomas K. Levi had a horrible accident and he was almost healed except for one spot he wouldn’t leave alone and that sleeve was our miracle worker!

Cheryl J. First time using a Lick Sleeve and highly recommends it. Our sweet Stella has never taken the protective collars well and this was such a great alternative.

Christie P. Jax is a Great Dane… with a big head that came with an even bigger cone when he had knee surgery. Our vet told us about the lick sleeve and we are the biggest fans! What a difference that made to Jax’s recovery. It’s so easy to put on and take off for the potty breaks, kept him from licking the stitches and saved our walls from his big cone head!

Terrye G. Harry had a TPLO on June 15th and wore the lick arm from the time he left surgery for 2 weeks. He has adapted wonderfully. We never used the collar. It was comfortable and easy to work with when we went outside. I would highly recommend the Lick Sleeve to anyone performing this procedure.

Mike M. I purchased this leak sleeve after searching the internet hoping to find an alternative to the dreaded neck cone for my dog ​​after his surgery. It seemed your product would meet my dog’s needs and was an interesting option for the cone. My wife found it very expensive with the high shipping costs for such a small item and she couldn’t believe I had made this purchase at this price…. However we are now eight days post his surgery and our poor dog has been a real soldier fighting his pain but this amazing lick arm has been a real blessing to him and to us too…. This is a great product that has been extremely helpful in his recovery so far. The vet who performed the surgery said he really liked this lick sleeve and he used it to cover the incision instead of bandages. We still have a full week before we return to the vet to have our dog’s stitches removed and we’re not sure if he will continue to let us use the lick sleeve at this point or not?? But if we have to keep using it every day that will no doubt beat the neck cone… HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT FOR PETS IN NEED OF LEG SURGERY….

Cameron Y. Our Dalmation Violet is the cutest girl but man she always seems to party a little too hard. She had a wound on her knee from a neck brace and a fall that just wouldn’t heal. Lick sleeves to the rescue! Not only did it heal but man she looked cute in her little gray pant leg lol. 11/10 would recommend. The only recommendation would be to air on the side of a smaller size. The L was almost too big.

Macie T. This is an amazing leg injury/surgery product. I’m definitely too big for my dog ​​but it still works! She has super long legs but is very fit so I recommend sizing down if you have a fit/thin dog.

Nancy E. I would put the Lick sleeve in the miracle category! My very active Aussie struggled with her cone after knee surgery. Aside from the cone being uncomfortable and frustrating, we had trouble finding a good fit. The comfy fabric and snug fit of the Lick sleeve put her at ease immediately and we were able to remove the cone as long as we kept an eye on her. She didn’t even try to remove the sleeve. It was also nice that it covered, warmed and protected her shaved leg. She had definitely felt vulnerable. I didn’t expect the sudden improvement to last – but it did. Now that it’s stitched I’m keeping it to protect it a little longer. This is the best product I have ever bought for my pup. I highly recommend it.

Mary L. We started the cone from hell while waiting for the lick sleeve to come in. Our coonhound was over the moon to get out of the cone and into the pod. The sleeve worked like a charm. She didn’t mind the cut at all. Have worn the cuff for two weeks. Recommend buying two so you can keep one on while washing/cleaning. Highly recommend trying this product

George M. Just what we needed. The HervLick granuloma healed quickly, so glad she stopped licking it. She felt much more comfortable in it than in a cone.

Alicia L. We received the LickSleeve before our dog Dukes had TPLO surgery and started using it immediately. It works great! He barely licked and didn’t mind wearing the sleeve. We took it off when he went to the bathroom just to make it easier, but if he peed on it a little we just washed it and it dried quickly. It stretches a bit so we ended up buying a size smaller but honestly it was nice to have 2. We recommend.

Jennifer W. After our dog’s ACL repair, we were told that she needs to wear a cone for at least 2 weeks. The licking arm allowed her to be more free and we didn’t have to constantly worry or watch her during this time. Even in the summer heat, the sleeve didn’t make her too hot. A great idea!

Merritt O. Bruno hated his skittle, he ran into every door. I was hesitant to use the lick nozzle but it came highly recommended so I bought one. Bruno seemed so much happier without his waffle and his staples were protected! I would recommend this product to others!

Alla M. Helps a lot!!!! Very easy to put on, very easy to wash. My dog ​​has no problem putting it on!!! Many Thanks .

Judith h. We have 3 great Pyrenees and our very active 2 year old dog had surgery 3 weeks ago for a torn ligament in her knee. I will never use a cone again! She didn’t try to get at the wound with the lick arm at all. I was also able to use the sling to help her stand up in the first few days after the operation. I ended up buying 2 because the first one got dirty and I had to put the cone on because the case is recommended to hand wash and line dry. She managed to dislodge it one night (no idea how unless I didn’t quite secure it) but was still unable to get to the incision to lick or scratch it. I can only recommend that. no more bruises on my legs from hitting me with the skittles!!! Sorry I don’t have pictures, she only wore it the first 2 weeks until the brackets came out.

Brett F. Our girl was able to rest comfortably with the Lick Sleeve after TPLO surgery. It also helped protect her incision. This product fundamentally changes the healing process. We had added security knowing she had the sleeve on her healing leg.

Kristen D. Great option for post-op treatment. So much better than skittles and wounds kept safe while she was still licking her sleeve. Our dog is 150lbs and fits well but had chafing where tummy meets leg which became an issue. Overall highly recommended

Lezli M. Great alternative to the supervised skittle!

Terri S. Lifesaver! I couldn’t imagine my GSP healing as well as it did after the ACL surgery without the leak sleeve. It allowed her to heal comfortably without the stress of wearing the dreaded “cone”. Maybe we were lucky but the sleeve didn’t bother her at all and this is one dog who will not tolerate wearing anything other than her collar. All Vets Must Wear This Product!

Diane L. Saves putting on an ice cream cone!

Natalie B. I bought this lick sleeve for my dog ​​Moose after TPLO surgery as the sleeve the vet gave us kept falling off and was a lot less comfortable than this sleeve for Moose – which really made the whole recovery process easier . In addition, the customer service is incredible. I accidentally ordered a small one and they immediately contacted their logistics partner to see if they could change it to a large one in time and they did. One thing to note is that I’ve found holding up the extra material when he goes out to relieve himself doesn’t work as well as not tying it on his back. It still doesn’t work 100% and you’ll probably pee some days, but the sleeve washed easily, but I found this worked at least most of the time and made it easier if you also had to deal with a leg sling on walks there it was less worrying. I would highly recommend this product, it seems really comfortable and a lot sturdier than others out there.

Albert P. Must be comfortable, my dog ​​has not attempted to remove it and seems perfectly fine with it. It doesn’t interfere with her movements and was relatively easy to put on and adjust, although she’s a total wobbly machine when touched or groomed.

Christine S. My pup is a treat and part terrier, so she’s determined! Thank goodness my vet and the TPLO FB page recommended I take a look at the Licksleeve. It is great! I still have to use a cone when she’s alone or unsupervised, but this has helped save my sanity. Thank you thank you!

Amy K. This was perfect post TPLO surgery! No worry about licking and chewing the incision, super easy to use and very convenient for the puppy!

deborah m. This was a godsend for us. Our pup had 2 surgeries on her hind leg and once all the stitches were removed she started licking it causing problems with her healing. This sleeve prevented this behavior. It’s easy to put on and easy to take off, she didn’t mind at all and it’s SO MUCH better than the collar. Thank you for this great product.

Catherine R. Absolute game changer! My dog ​​had ACL surgery and stood with a cone 2 weeks ago. He hates tight spaces and is fighting a cone, which is the last thing that would help in his recovery. I desperately looked for alternatives and stumbled across the Lick Sleeve. It has given him the rest he needs to recover. Many Thanks!!!

Jessica H. At first I thought I misapplied and ordered the wrong size, but you just have to follow the video instructions. : ) This was such a help to avoid the cone when Sophie is whining in them. They are clumsy and terrible! We ordered a softer version of a cone as a backup, which we found “just in case” but didn’t need, and sent it back. This washes easily and adjusts as needed as it stretches. You can tell it’s more than a cone and too expensive… IT’S WELL WORTH THE INVESTMENT FOR WEEKS TO AVOID A LEG WOUND NEEDED.

Kathryn B. Our dog has skin problems (cysts/sores). This time he had a pop up on his leg/thigh. He wouldn’t leave it alone and we struggled to find a way to keep his leg covered and protected to allow it to heal. The Lick Sleeve was a great option and very easy to put on and take off. The sleeve itself did not bother him at all and formed a barrier from both him and other elements. Highly recommended!

Dianne M. I love the leaky sleeves. I really needed a way to stop my dog ​​from licking her wound and this worked fabulously!

Lorie W. While I’m sad that my dog ​​needs knee surgery, I’m relieved that she’s able to recover with the lick sleeve instead of a cone, which I’m sure would only add to her frustration. I put the Lick Sleeve on her daily before her surgery and she is very comfortable and doesn’t even realize she’s wearing it. Also, the ease of ordering, receiving my order in record time, and great customer service goes above and beyond.

Jackie L. This product is AWESOME! My dog ​​had surgery on his leg and kept poking at the wound. We had a pillow collar for him, but he kept finding ways to get to the incision and re-infected the leg. We replaced the pillow with Lick Sleeve. He’s so much happier! He’s still trying to lick the wound but can’t get to it with the one on his leg! Good product! Easy to use and protects the wound! Many Thanks!!

Jon G. Works great for my GSD

sean l The lick sleeve is an amazing product, probably the most useful product after your dog recovers from surgery. It stayed on until I took it off, adjustable, didn’t bother my dog ​​at all. Paying more than $2000 is a very good investment for your pup. Trust me, don’t be cheap and get Amazon’s $30. The material is very comfortable to the touch, but it stretches if your pup measures a large one at the bottom, take the middle one. I had this problem, called customer service and they had a medium at my door the next day. Every time I’m at the vet, I always recommend this product! From the product to the customer service, I would recommend 110%.

Kimie R. Our sweet rescue pup, Frankie, had his second surgery and was only 14 months old. The Lick Sleeve was a great suggestion from the surgeon. Frankie was a happy pup from the first night home and was healing very well (and licking free). We will recommend it to all our friends. Many Thanks.

Tricia J Thank you!!! That’s a million times better than the cone. Arya had a TPLO on her hind leg and a mass was removed on her front. The Lick Sleeve is super easy to put on and take off. We don’t wear it potty walking, it gives her a chance for some fresh air and she can’t lick while we go. Very flexible, comfortable fabric, clips are strong but still easy to release. We modified the ankle on the front and cut a 3 inch slit over her paw for easy handling. Fabric does not tear or run. Also call your customer service on the phone. When I needed the second shipment, phone calls were made to make sure I had the lick sleeve before collecting it from surgery. Thanks again for making the healing a little more bearable. I have already recommended it to my vet and rehab center.

Shawn M. This is the best thing ever. My dog ​​felt much better after the surgery. It definitely helped in his recovery time. He ran around with a skittle like a battering ram. Our vet saw the lick sleeve and thought it was great. I have sent all the information about the lick sleeve to the Sherwood Family Pet Clinic in Sherwood, Oregon. They might buy something from you.

Jo-Anne A. This is such a better option than an e-collar. Great product, albeit expensive. Ordered an XL for our German Shepherd/Akita who is 97lbs after TPLO surgery. It was a bit large although I’m glad I ordered the XL. According to the size chart, it was in the upper range for an L, with the exception of the weight.

Julie P. Game changer! My dog ​​had surgery and had to wear a cone from the vet for 3 weeks. Luckily we found the Lick Sleeve and she didn’t have to wear the cone at all. Made her recovery so much easier!

Nicole B. TLDR: The cuff provides full leg coverage, is easy to use, and holds the dog well with reasonable use. Details: This product was recommended by my vet to help with my dog ​​Acral Lick Granuloma. She is a rescue dog and has been over grooming the left rear ankle area on her leg but an ankle sock does not provide the coverage I need to allow it to fully heal. The Lick Sleeve fits well, is easy to use and stays secure within reason. I happen to have two dogs that love to play wrestling and she can squirm out if they really roll over and jump on each other. Once she had it off, she then chewed on the plastic clip and it wouldn’t come off. However, the adjustable strap can be removed from the clip so I can still put the case on and off easily enough. I bought a second one because the working clip makes it easier, now I have a backup when I wash the sleeve.

Taylor H. The lick sleeve worked very well. I thought I would need to get a different size and the customer service team was very helpful in shipping the different size very quickly. Great experience all round.

Judy R. Works well for my border collie mix who just had TPLO surgery. Easy to put on and take off and keeps her from licking the wound.

Sheryl O. My boxer is 78#; the big one fitted perfectly; while using it, she never bothered to lick and saved me from having to constantly watch her. I used a collar when she was left alone for more than 30 minutes. Absolutely the best investment I’ve made for them.

Erin C. Love this… what a fantastic product. My dog ​​had ACL surgery and used it in place of the collar on the knee. Worked like clockwork for two weeks.

Paul C G. This Lick sleeve is easy to slip on and off. With all the special exercises and messages needed after surgery, it’s great to have a product that works so well. I had absolutely no problem with my dog ​​wanting to take it off or chew on it. I was able to remove it to check the incision and apply ointment if needed. Easy to clean and dry to keep the incision clean and infection-free. I bought two with no regrets so I can have a clean one on my dog ​​while I wash and dry the other. Paul and Marley

Elizabeth P. Our senior lab had a sarcoma removed from his hind leg. I wish I had known about the Leaky Arm before we started the adventure. Came home from surgery with the cone he had to remove. Got stitches out, got infected, back in for more surgeries. Lick Sleeve arrived the next day. Left with lick sleeve cone and inflatable collar while we were out for a couple of hours. Came home to literally take the cone apart, the collar off – only the lick sleeve survived intact. What a literal lifesaver! I don’t know why EVERY vet who performs hind leg surgeries doesn’t stock this product or recommend their clients to purchase it as part of the pre-op consultation. An amazing product!

Matthew N. We had a great experience using the lick sleeve for the CCL surgery on our rescued border collie mix. We put the sleeve on her right after the operation. She did not attempt to remove or lick her stitches through the sleeve. I would recommend this to any dog ​​recovering from CCL surgery.

Ryan C. Great product, works as advertised. We have a large dog that had TPLO surgery and bought the sleeve to make him more comfortable. It was helpful to be able to use him as a walker in addition to keep him away from his incision. Totally worth the money to keep him more relaxed and out of a cone!

Jeannine L. My dog ​​hated her cone so this sleeve was a life saver. She didn’t sleep with the cone on so we used the case and found it very reliable. She is a 40 lb pit bull and I ended up getting the Large. It was a loose fit on her leg and a little too long, but I just rolled up the leg. The medium also worked for her size but was more fitted and that seemed a bit painful to apply her surgical incision for the first few weeks. I still used her cone when left all alone because I didn’t fully trust my stubborn dog. But this sleeve was used 75% of the time of her recovery and it made her feel less anxious and more comfortable. It’s definitely worth it!

NANCY B. The leak arm worked fantastic! So much better than the Cone of Shame.

Caitlin B. Our dog had to have luxating patellar surgery so we used the lick sleeve to protect her incision while she recovered. We love it – it worked fantastically to protect her nick and stop her from licking it. We also love that it’s reversible as she will be having the same surgery on her other leg in the next few months. The investment is definitely worth it!

Tara P. Thank you for inventing this product. Our 8 year old pup, Bristol, had surgery to remove a mast cell tumor (she is doing great now and thankfully cancer free). She is very clever with the E-Collar and managed to create a point with her head to scratch her cut which was very long down her right hind leg. The leak sleeve saved the day. It was easy and comfortable for her and she never worried about her incision. I’m taking it to her surgical follow-up to show her surgeon in case he has other patients who don’t love the e-collar and want this as an alternative (or as an alternative to the e-collar). Great product!

Ashley R. Our doggy orthopedist told us about Lick Sleeve. Avoiding the cone of shame for 2 weeks is reason enough to buy it. This is an ingenious invention and I’m thrilled to hear about it. Thank you for making CCL operation easier for JujuBeans parents. Good product. Measure before you buy

serious p. I wish I had gotten past vine/donut deliveries all gone. Simple/simple, it’s awesome!!

L P W. It’s perfect, the ACL surgical site is protected from soiling and licking. It gets a lot sir for the skin to heal.

Kimberly D. The lick stocking was a good alternative to the cone, we didn’t feel our dog would do well wearing a cone. Our dog didn’t seem to care that the sleeve was on her, giving us reassurance that she would leave her leg alone. It slipped off her bum at times, but stayed on well for most of the day. We found them easier to take off for walks

Mary A. Best invention and investment ever. No pubic cone. She loves ❤️ her

Beth Ann M. So far so good on our second day post TPLO surgery! So much more comfortable than that awful cone! My surgeon told me to order this before surgery so I went for it! So glad I did! Thank you for inventing an amazing product❤️

Karen P. My sweet Ava had TPLO surgery on May 24th and has been wearing the LICK SLEEVE for two days. She hasn’t taken care of her stitches and that keeps her form from wearing the Cone of Shame. We are all very happy with this product and will highly recommend it to anyone going through this with their cute pets. Karen and Tony Pouncey

Beatriz V. It works! This is my dog’s second TPLO and first recovery with the sleeve. It makes the dog’s work a lot easier and protects the seams very well. I wasn’t sure if it would stay in place as my dog ​​has a very skinny butt, but it stayed in place with the adjustable straps… and without hurting her (shaved) belly skin. Highly recommended!

Susan R. 2nd TPLO a year apart! I wish we found that with the last one. Eine große Passform für unser 75-Pfund-Englisch-Labor (Mädchen). Sie ist auf der kürzeren Seite. Kegel, Stoffärmel, Ganzkörperanzüge! Dies war bei weitem das einfachste und passte am besten, UND blieb an Ort und Stelle. Teuer, aber sparen Sie sich das Geld, indem Sie nicht zuerst die anderen Sachen kaufen. Sie werden tatsächlich weniger ausgeben!

Elizabeth S. Die Leckhülse kam nach der TPLO-Operation unseres Hundes in die Kupplung. Leo wollte unbedingt an seine Stiche ran und leckte auch mal durch den Ärmel, aber er blieb trocken und die Stiche konnten ohne Komplikationen verheilen. Es wickelt sich um den Oberkörper, klickt und zieht sich fest, um perfekt zu passen. Ich würde dies auf jeden Fall jedem empfehlen, der das Lecken mit seinem Hund verhindern muss.

Christy J. Mein Hund ist ein Ninja und hat das überstanden, ABER das Geld war gut angelegt und der Kundenservice war unglaublich. Sie boten mir viele Möglichkeiten, die Situation zu korrigieren, und ich würde sie gerne wieder nutzen.

Carol P. Lecksleeve war eine wunderbare Sache für mein Fellbaby. Sie wurde am Knie operiert und mit dem Licksleeve musste sie den Kegel der Schande nicht tragen. Danke, Carol

Lisa R. Unsere Hündin hatte kürzlich eine TPLO-Operation und hätte sich fast selbst erwürgt, als sie versuchte, ihren Kegel zu entfernen. Wir haben ein anderes weniger aufdringliches Nackenkissen gekauft, weil wir dachten, dass es ausreichen würde. It was not. Sie leckte ihren Einschnitt und entwickelte einen tiefen Riss. Zurück zum Kegel, aber wir konnten sie nicht unbeaufsichtigt lassen. Unsere Tochter hat uns von dem Leckarm erzählt. Es hat wunderbar funktioniert! Sie fühlt sich wohl und kann ihre Einschnittstelle nicht lecken. Essen, Trinken und Spaziergänge im Freien sind für uns alle so viel einfacher. Exzellentes Design und Produkt für einen teuflisch schlauen Hund, der eine Problemumgehung für die meisten anderen Geräte finden kann. Thanks very much!

Kevin V. Gracie ist ein 11-jähriger Border Collie/Golden Retriever-Mix. Sie hatte einen Bänderriss und musste operiert werden. Ihre Operation verlief großartig, aber 5 Mal dachten wir, sie würde ohne den Kegel in Ordnung sein und würden es in Ruhe lassen. Sie tat es nicht. 5 mal leckte sie ihre Wunde komplett wund! …den Heilungsprozess komplett neu starten. Ugghhh… Der Leckarm hat perfekt funktioniert. Kein Kegel und sie ist fast vollständig geheilt. Sie war so deprimiert mit dem Kegel. Der Leckarm ist bequem und sie versucht nicht einmal, ihn zu stören. Sie hat die volle Bewegungsfreiheit. Sie ist glücklich. Waren glücklich.

Alan M. Hat meinem Hund nach einer ACL-Operation wirklich geholfen. Sie hasst den Kegel (wer tut das nicht) und es war eine Chance, ihr Pausen davon zu gönnen. Ich würde sie je nach Verletzung nicht zu lange nur mit dem Ärmel unbeaufsichtigt lassen – sie können wahrscheinlich einen Weg finden, wenn sie es wirklich versuchen. Aber als ich in der Nähe war und zumindest halb zuschauen konnte, war es perfekt!

Shannon W. Mein Junge hasst E-Halsbänder. Ich war mir nicht sicher, wie er mit dem Lecken am Ärmel umgehen würde. Er hat es toll gemacht! es hinderte ihn daran, an seine Stiche zu kommen. Ich würde auf jeden Fall wieder kaufen. Ich habe allen davon erzählt!

Lisa M. Maverick ist ein zweijähriger Rottweiler. Das ist er in seinem Leckarm an dem Tag, an dem seine Klammern aus der TPLO-Operation entfernt wurden. Das EINZIGE, was ihn davon abgehalten hat, die Operationsstelle zu belästigen. Vielen Dank für ein wunderbares Produkt. Verweis auf Freunde!! Lisa und Maverick

Craig N. Magic ließ seine Fäden ohne Probleme entfernen. Seit der Operation sind elf Tage vergangen. Er stört den Schnitt nie mit dem Lick Sleave. Ich lasse ihn eine weitere Woche tragen, bis er mit der Reha beginnt.

Pam S. Wir haben 2 Goldens, 80 lbs und 70 lbs. bei beiden wurden Tumore am linken Hinterbein entfernt. Groß ist die Größe, die passt. Die Hülse schützte den Einschnitt. Der jüngere Goldene musste immer noch den Donut oder Kegel der Schande tragen. Der ältere Golden kommt mit dem Donut genauso gut zurecht wie die Nacht. Wenn Sie einen agilen Hund haben, muss der Ärmel mit dem Donut verwendet werden. Ich empfehle die Manschette, um den Einschnitt zu bedecken und eine weitere Barriere anzubringen, damit der Hund nicht zum Einschnitt gelangen kann

Sandra C. Es ist großartig. Unsere Hündin hat einen großen Tumor am linken Bein, den sie gekaut und geöffnet hat. Der Ärmel hat sie vollständig davon abgehalten, daran zu kauen. Wir haben tatsächlich noch einen zweiten gekauft. Love it.

Dean T. Sooo viel besser als ein Kegel oder ein elisabethanischer Kragen. Unsere Hündin hat ihren Schnitt in Ruhe gelassen und kann immer noch überall sonst an ihrem Körper hinkommen (sie ist eine Selbstfriseurin). Dies ist ein großartiges Produkt.

Graham W. Mein Labrador hatte eine Wunde an einer unmöglich zu verbindenden Stelle an seinem oberen Hinterbein. Der Ärmel ermöglichte es, ein Gazequadrat an die Innenseite des Ärmels zu kleben, um seine Wunde zu schützen. Nichts anderes würde funktionieren. Der Ärmel blieb den ganzen Tag an und es schien ihn nicht im geringsten zu stören. Vielen Dank für die Bereitstellung eines Produkts, das eine unmögliche Situation behoben hat.

Christopher B. Lick hat uns das Leben gerettet! Unser Hund hatte ihr Knie wieder aufgebaut und war schon ängstlich genug, ohne der Mischung einen Kegel hinzuzufügen. Anfangs war sie sich des Leckarms nicht sicher, aber nach 5-10 Minuten vergaß sie, dass er da war, und behielt ihn an, bis ihre Wunde verheilt war. Kann die Leckhülse nicht genug empfehlen!

Douglas und Renee T. So viel einfacher als der Kegel. Highly recommended!

Paul B. First week after leg surgery was nightmare, had to have the leg stitched again. After purchasing the Licksleeve life returned to normal and the dog was able to relax and rest easy. Thank you for your product!

Teresa P. Great quality! Stays on really well which is important when they have to wear it for weeks!

Melissa G. LOVE!!! This is our dogs second TPLO surgery. His first was 2 years ago and I wish we would have found Lick Sleeve sooner. Duke did fine with the e-collar the first surgery but due to now having high anxiety due to a seizure disorder, we needed something different. It’s hard to find anything for a large dog (125# and TALL) so finding this was a lifesaver! My husband and I both work full-time so leaving Duke home alone with the sleeve was nerve racking at first but he never once went after his incision wearing the Lick Sleeve and it is easy to remove for him to go potty. When we took Duke to get his staples removed the vet tech asked about his sleeve and said she is always getting asked for e-collar alternatives so we were happy to share the website with her for others. So happy with this product! Highly recommend!!

Michelle M. After going through a TPLO surgery without the lick sleeve and then having it for a second procedure on the same knee- it was a life saver. I didn’t loose any sleep at all checking on her all the time, adjusting homemade sleeves ( yes i tried that before I knew about this product). The incision healed perfectly and as you can see Daisy was very comfortable. I’m so grateful for this product, the customer service was fantastic and the product shipped all the way to Canada very quickly. I highly recommend.

Robyn M. My dog loses her mind when wearing a cone, and she’s long-legged, long-bodied, so the inflatable e-collar alone would be insufficient to keep her from chewing her incision from TPLO surgery. The sleeve along with the inflatable e-collar has been PERFECT. And, now that her stitches are out, we can get rid of the e-collar and just continue the sleeve for another week or so. The sleeve was snug at first and forced more of the swelling down to her foot/ankle, but that’s all resolved now. She seemed to like it as well–maybe the little bit of compression felt good! Thanks for an excellent product!

Gary P. Works great. Easy to put on and take off. Dog doesn’t mind wearing it. Much better than the cone. Glad it is reversible , now dog is going to have the other leg operated on. Would recommend it to friends and Veterinarian

Mary M. This was a great product to spare our baby the cone of shame while he recovered from a broken leg. He would get so sad every time we put the cone on, but didn’t mind the lick sleeve and it kept him from pulling his staples out!

Donna S. I think you should sell them to veterinarians so when people pick up their pets they will have them…

chastity c. I really preferred this to the cone and I’m sure my dog did too. It is easy to take on and off. Make sure it is secure because one day I came home and somehow my dog had got it off. My dog did well with the lick sleeve. I wonder if some dogs would still bite at the wound through the sleeve, mine did not bother the area when covered. It is much pricier than a cone but knowing my dog was more comfortable was worth it to me.

Erica A. My dog, Gage, had CCL/meniscus surgery and rather than use the “cone of shame”, we opted to try the Lick Sleeve. It was a life saver for sure. We just had our follow-up with his surgeon, and I told him that it was an excellent option to share with future patients. The Lick Sleeve made the whole experience MUCH less stressful for all of us!!!

Jennifer J. Kimber had ACL and Maniscus surgery. The surgeon sent her home in a cone. She is so much happier in this lick sleeve.

Kit K. My lab top to it right away. We did have to cut a little off at the bottom because she only weighs 65 pounds. It did stretch as you said it would and we just tightened up the Buckle and it worked fine. I recommend it to anyone who has a dog going through this kind of surgery

Cassidy R. Finding this lick sleeve alternative saved my dog and myself from SO much stress. Luna had TPLO surgery and she would not tolerate the cone of shame. Instead of giving up and risking her licking her sutures, this leg sleeve saved the day! She doesn’t even act like she knows it’s there. She can walk around, take naps, and enjoy her day as usual. Oh, and the sleeves are made in the USA! Absolutely worth the investment! Love it.
