Uses
While originally designed for Happy Tail Syndrome, the TailSaver has seen much success in healing Broken Tails, Exposed Bones, Infections, Open Wounds, Cysts, Tail-Biting or Chasing, and other Tail Injuries. Dogs Leave the K9 TailSaver on so injuries are protected, medicines stay and tails heal safe. Unlike 1-part options K9 TailSaver stays on and is comfortable. There is only one "Tail Saver!"
-
How it Works
Tail's are Protected by the Padded Tail-Sleeve and the Supporting Harness. It Stays on Active Dogs and Chewers of Bandages, Wraps, Noodles and Covers. It's Secure and Prevents Re-Injury.

Let customers speak for us
from 639 reviewsWhen I noticed that my sweet pit mix had a little bug bite on her tail, I didn't expect the month's long journey that would follow as we helped her heal her tail without amputation. The bug bite scabbed over and then became a bloody mess as she happily wagged her tail hitting tables and cabinets in her wake. She became obsessed with trying to itch her healing tail and would destroy any cone that got in her way. When her vet suggested amputation was the next step, we finally pulled the trigger on the K9 TailSaver - I wish I would have done it one DAY ONE! Once it was properly fit and adjusted, she just simply forgot about it entirely. Her tail healed, is back to it's original fluff, and after many weeks and she no longer has to wear the TailSaver (though we have it cleaned and stored away in the event we ever need it again!) Fitting the TailSaver properly was super important and the customer service we received from K9 TailSaver was superb - when we emailed in pictures, they called us directly and did a live Q&A session to help make sure everything was set up properly. They were so patient and invested in us having good results with the products. When my dog chewed on the end of our original tail sleeve, they sent us a smaller one for a custom fit at no cost. I really can't say enough about how incredible this company and product is. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Best $80 ever spent. My Goldendoodle was almost on the verge of having her tail amputated from happy tail syndrome. I was taking her back and forth to the vet sometimes twice a week to have her tail bandaged up (she kept chewing the bandage off). That’s when I decided to google ways of healing happy tail and ended up on this website. My Doodle wore it for only 4 days before going in to her next vet appointment, when the Dr walked in he was so amazed with how this harness and tail sleeve looked, he was also blown away at how good my Doodles tail looked. Because of this harness/tail sleeve we don’t have any more vet appointments scheduled and her tail is healing so good/quickly. Definitely would recommend this product for anyone dealing with happy tail syndrome.
I purchased this as my Cocker Spaniel Cooper has damaged the end of his tail from too much wagging. I manage to get it almost healed & then he will catch it again & the house looks like a crime scene all over again not to mention the pain & discomfort he feels. This harness & tail sleeve is a game changer, not only does it control the wagging at a lower level the padded sleeve helps minimise impact on hard surfaces which is key for 'happytail'. I used the size calculator to work out which size was best & ordered the small which fits perfectly with lots of adjustment to make it comfortable for him. I watched the video to see how to fit & connect the tail sleeve which was very useful & I fitted it with ease. Cooper has had it on for 5 days now & he is very happy wearing it & has not tried to chew it at all so it must be comfortable or I'm should he would of. Julie was extremely helpful ensuring that I got the correct size & the delivery was very quick. I'm so pleased with the service & more importantly the product hopefully this will mean Cooper can keep his tail rather than having to have surgery for a partial amputation. Highly recommended.
Delivers as promised! It will take many adjustments for the best fit but so worth the little bit of extra effort! No more crime scene blood splatter throughout the house. My dog wears the vest and tail saver without ant signs of discomfort Happy pup, happy mom!
I'm sending before and after pictures of Reeds fully healed "happy tail" and want to thank you for your patience and excellent customer service. After realizing this was really the only way to solve for happy tail syndrome and concluding I couldn't possibly put the harness together myself I called my brother-in-law who patiently studied the material and got the harness on my skirmy yellow lab. I mastered the tail wrap using the video and eventually could do it solo. It was challenging but we persisted - and alls well that ends well. Many thanks.
I can't express enough how wonderful this product has been for us. I was so sceptical when I ordered it but was at my wits end with cones of all shapes and sizes. My GSD had a wound on his tail and we could NOT keep him off it. The TailSaver is the only product that worked for him and I am so thankful. It took us about ten minutes to fit and get on properly but once it was on we haven't looked back. Our dogs tail is healing beautifully, he isn't running into walls or knocking anything over, he can eat and drink out of his bowls easily and play with all of his toys with absolutely no problem. 100% super recommended.
This morning I spent an hour fitting my St Bernard mix’s tail saver. It’s GREAT. He doesn’t seem to mind it at all, it keeps his tail from being both a weapon and a liability, and is keeping him from re-injuring it — he came to me with a bad case of happy tail that’s thankfully ALMOST healed. Great product, well designed. I really appreciated the careful fitting video.
FIVE STARS
I wish I found this sooner!! My Great Dane had a horrible case of happy tail. We tried an off brand of this product that created sores on his groin area and he ended up chewing through and biting through above the original spot even worse then the original spot. We purchased this hoping to save the tail and although it kept him from getting to his tail and helped protect it from hitting on anything and in general we did amputate half his tail. However we used this after amputation while he healed as well and was a life saver while he healed not to mess with the stitches! So although we didn't save his tail no fault to happy tail I truly am thankful for this product!! And believe it would have saved his tail if I gotten it earlier. In top of that Julie is amazing!! Thank you so much for this product!
My girl had an obsession with chasing her tail. She ended up nipping it and it caused a huge bump. We were told to wrap it to keep her from licking it & making it worse. We couldn’t get the wrap to stay on no matter how we wrapped it. & the wrap was also making it raw & worse. So as a desperate last resort we decided to try the happy tail saver & within days we saw sooo much improvement!! We didn’t wrap it so it was able to heal without her getting to it. We would put her cone on when we were at work, along with the happy tail saver. She seemed confused by it at first but she adapted fast. After a week of wearing it 24/7 she was able to only have it on when we left the house. We were at a loss of what to do and I think even our vet was stumped. So this product was our literal saving grace!! I was iffy at first because it’s not cheap but I wish we would’ve just gotten this from the beginning because we spent so much on different wraps and medications trying to find a solution. Happy tail or a chew up tail… I most definitely recommend this product!!
When hour 90 pound puppy lab/great pyrenees mix Accidentally busted her tail open. We didn't know what we were gonna do when the vet gave us a bill of over a thousand dollars for amputation, not to mention a couple hundred dollars of pain medication, antibiotics, and some type of sleeping medicine to get her back for the second time for a full analysis of the injury. We tried many different ways to wrap the tip of her tail. And everything failed until we came across this site. Although it was hard to get her in, it definitely was a 3 person job. It has made such a great improvement on the healing process of the injury. We are so happy we were able to find this until we can save up for the amputation. Not only has it saved us time
and stress of cleaning up blood from around the house. But we know that the dog's tail is not infected and is healing properly while being restricted, so it does not reopen.
This started with my pup chasing his tail….then he caught it…from there it was just a vicious cycle. I could not get it to heal…he kept hitting it on everything , and then he would lick it open when it began to heal. I tried bitter apple spray, no chew tape, second skin spray….you name it! Then I found the K9 Tail saver! I figured what the heck…it was worth a try. My vet basically told me the next step would be amputation of the tail! I did not want that! It was a little tricky to set up, but once you get it adjusted you’re set. I would recommend getting a second tail piece so you can switch it out and wash it. I have thrown the whole thing in the washer and dryer with out any problems. This truly saved my pups tail! So grateful I found it , and highly recommend it! My pup didn’t seem to have an issue with it on. I got very good at unhooking the strap from around the tail for potty breaks. Can not stress enough ….this product saved my pups tail!
3 Years ago our great dane ( 172 pounds ) cut open her tail while she had one of her happy tail moments. ( all day every day ). we went to the vet and they taped her tail up so that the cut could heal . well on the car ride home. Pebbles got the wrap off and made the cut worse. this took us on a journey looking for a solution to let her tail heal without her getting to it. after about $300.00 loater and countless failed attemps, we found this company call K9 Tail Saver . So we called and had a hour long talk with them and found the right tail save for our Great Dane. with a few problems ( on our part ) we worked together and got things right. Today we still use the tail save and after many months of use things are still working great. Pebbles DOES NOT GET TO HER TAIL WHEN IT IS HEALING ! this company is always improving their product and all i can say is they ROCK! Our vet loves the tail save and has it in his office . THANK YOU FOR MAKING OUR DANES LIFE AND OURS BETTER !
We adopted our shelter pup who unfortunately suffered from happy tail. I tried many things to wrap her tail to prevent her happy tail from getting worse, but everything failed. Since she has worn the TailSaver, her tail looks so much better! I was really worried about her chewing on the TailSaver or not being able to tolerate it. She tolerates it so well and no chewing at all. I am very impressed with this product and it was well worth the money. This product saved us from possibly amputating her tail. I cannot thank you guys enough!
Tail has been saved thanks to the Happy Tail saver.
Our Story
Our beloved Misty broke open her tail with her strong wagging causing her to get blood all over the walls in our home. Our veterinarian told us that there was nothing we could use on her tail that would stay on. We tried a cone, medications, bandages, tape, a noodle, and even a muzzle. We spent hundreds of dollars at the Vets only to be faced with an amputation surgery with it's own set of risks.
The Vet was astonished when we discovered a way to keep her tail covered. There was no more licking or biting at her tail - and she couldn't remove he tail sleeve. She healed completely from her Happy Tail Syndrome in a couple of weeks. He said it was the first dog tail brace and was truly surprised that it worked so well. Since then we've adapted it to stay on any breed, and it protects ALL tail wounds, not just Happy Tail. Veterinary care is still important, but you can save the cost of tail amputation. If your dog's tail is bleeding, don't wait.
Save your dog, and yourself, the expense and stress we went through. We offer the highest level of service and support to all of our customers, wherever they may be in the world. Order now and help your dog's tail to heal.

I’m from France, and sadly this type of tail saver doesn’t exist in Europe. So I decided to order for save my dog’s tail. And I’m not deceived ! It works well, she even don’t try to remove it and it’s very comfy. Thank you so much again !
The amount of straps this thing has is a bit much. I did watch the video to put it on correctly but my dog looked incredibly uncomfortable in it. I was concerned that when we tightened the straps to the suggested tightness in the video that the bottom padding under the tail was rubbing way too much into my dog’s butt. It was so bulky that I did not trust letting my dog **** on it. It was just too much of a hassle and too uncomfortable-looking for the poor dog.
Hi Nadine, I wish we had helped your pup. It's true that if it's too tight under the tail your pup won't be happy - t takes some 'fine' tuning. By day 3 dogs are happy and having safe-fun. Bulk = good padding, 4 Straps = Secure for ALL dogs when left alone. Do you want to try it for a time period before returning it? We relax our return policy when working together. Send a photo and I'll see if I can help with your pups comfort! I'd love to help with his tail :). Julie
After trying everything under the sun for a small happy tail wound that kept opening up because, well, Bon has a very happy tail…this is the only thing that helped his wound heal enough it wouldn’t keep opening up and stopped him from painting our entire house red! What a great idea and I will suggest it to everyone I know who comes across a happy tail!
Je accepts the tail saver very well and getting it on went smoothly. He wore the tail saver for 3 days now and the wound gets the chance to heal. Really hoop this will be the answer and prevent an amputation! I’ll get back to this once his tail has healed completely!
I’ve been battling with and have spent well over $1200 trying to get my shepherd tail to heal, I thought for sure that this would be the end-all solution for me and for him to leave it alone, I have tried every cone, tail cover, every option shy of amputation. I put it on the afternoon I got it and he was fine all evening, but woke up the next morning to find that he ripped a seam of the tail harness in half, somehow, with a muzzle on. For the price I was hoping for something a lot more sturdy.
Uh oh, I see what happened with your sleeve from your photo... I owe you a refund or free replacement. We stand behind our qualiity and our current XL + sizes are now reinforced so that if the tail sleeve-end is stepped on it won't tear like that.

Hi Paula, Thank you for pictures of Cooper and his injury. How long did it take to heal completely? If you need to use the TailSleeve again I have a wag strap 'tip', there are belt loops next to the under-tail pad for positioning the strap higher up. I'm not sure that would be better... but it's an option. Hugs fo Cooper! My best, Julie
