Post Operation Pet Care
Whether it’s a planned surgery, unexpected injury, or managing a long-term condition, your pet’s recovery period can be just as emotional for you as it is for them. That’s why having the right tools and support in place is so important.
At The Pawley Pet Shop, we understand how vital comfort and care are during rehabilitation. From supportive dog wheelchairs to calming accessories, here’s our guide to the must-have recovery aids for your beloved pet.
🛏️ 1. Orthopaedic Pet Beds
Why it matters:
Soft, pressure-relieving bedding is essential for rest and healing, especially after surgery or for senior pets with arthritis.
Our tip: Choose a memory foam or vet-approved orthopaedic pet bed that offers gentle support for aching joints or tender areas.
✔️ Try: Our range of supportive dog and cat beds with washable covers for hygiene and ease.
🛒 2. Pet Ramps and Stairs
Why it matters:
Jumping up to a sofa or bed can cause injury or strain. Ramps and stairs allow easy access to their favourite spots—without the risk.
Our tip: Look for non-slip, foldable options that are lightweight and easy to move around.
✔️ Try: Our foldable pet stairs with soft treads – ideal for small dogs, elderly pets, or post-op support.
♿ 3. Mobility Aids & Dog Wheelchairs
Why it matters:
If your dog is recovering from a spinal issue, hip surgery, or has reduced mobility, a lightweight dog wheelchair or harness can restore freedom.
Our tip: Go for adjustable models that allow you to tailor the fit as your pet gains strength.
✔️ Try: Our 4-wheel full support dog wheelchair for rehabilitation and everyday movement.
🧥 4. Recovery Suits & Protective Clothing
Why it matters:
Banish the dreaded plastic cone! Recovery suits are soft, secure alternatives that stop pets from licking wounds or stitches.
Our tip: Choose breathable fabrics with easy-access designs for stress-free dressing and toilet breaks.
✔️ Try: Our post-surgery suits for cats and dogs, available in multiple sizes.
🧘 5. Calming Aids & Anxiety Relief
Why it matters:
Healing can be stressful. Calming sprays, balms, and scents can soothe your pet and help them feel safe at home.
Our tip: Use alongside gentle routines, quiet spaces, and lots of positive reinforcement.
✔️ Try: Our natural paw and nose balm with relaxing scents or our dog-friendly calming sprays.
🍽️ 6. Slow Feeders & Elevated Bowls
Why it matters:
After surgery, eating from the floor can strain a pet’s neck or joints. Slow feeders also help prevent bloating or choking if your pet is eating too quickly due to stress.
Our tip: Elevated bowls are especially helpful for pets with mobility or spinal issues.
Try: Our eco-friendly slow feeders and raised dining sets.
🧼 7. Easy-Clean Essentials
Why it matters:
Accidents happen during recovery. Having wipe-clean mats, waterproof bedding, and easy-to-wash accessories will make your life easier.
Our tip: Keep a soft pet wipe or spray cleaner nearby for quick touch-ups without stress.
✔️Try: Our range of practical and sustainable care products, made for messy moments.
