Alterations, custom and repairs

My dog hates having their legs lifted. Is there a version that snaps up?

Quick answer

Yes, the cardigan alteration adds snaps up the side, so the garment goes over the head and snaps closed without lifting a leg.

Yes, the cardigan alteration. We add flat snap studs up the side of the body and leg, so the garment goes over the head and snaps closed at the side, with no legs to lift and no paws to thread through. It's also the one we recommend most for hounds with arthritis or those recovering from surgery.

Pick the add-on that matches your garment, the Sleeveless Cardigan Alteration Add-On or the Long Sleeve Cardigan Alteration Add-On, and add it to your cart with the garment. The price is on the listing. One add-on covers one leg, so add two for snaps on both sides, or email us which leg if it's just one.

It works on our tees and sweaters, and we can add it to ones you already own: here's how to send them in. On a new order, allow 10 working days before it ships, and check the size first, because an altered piece can't be returned or exchanged if you change your mind. Our guide to easy-on snap alterations explains more.
