Our Story
Our beloved Misty broke open her tail with her strong wagging. This caused her to get blood all over the walls. Our veterinarian told us that there was nothing we could use on her tail that wouldl stay on. We tried a cone, medications, bandages, tape, a noodle, and even a muzzle. We spent hundreds of dollars at the vets and were facing 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 it. She healed completely from Happy Tail Syndrome in a couple of weeks. Since then we've adapted it to stay on any breed, and now it protects ALL tail wounds. That includes tail biting, broken tail, allergies, cysts, tail wound infection, Cushings, exposed bone and hairless tail. Veterinary care is important, but you can save the cost of dog tail amputation. If your dog's tail is bleeding don't wait.

Customer Reviews
Thanks for making such an innovative product! We have a GSD in which she was chewing her tail for several months. Turned out a strong antibiotic cured what must have been some sort of infection. Between the antibiotic and the tail saver we avoided having to have her tail amputated, which was getting way too close for comfort!
The antibiotic got the infection and the tail saver kept her from chewing it, win win!!!
Again, thanks for making the tail saver and being a part of our GSD from losing her beautiful tail!
Given how difficult tail protection is this product does a remarkable job. May well have helped save our labrador's tail which will be fantastic - fingers crossed.
Could not be happier - Julie is about as helpful as it is possible to be!
That’s great, prefect fit to protect my dog
Sadly my pups tail couldn't be saved, we had to amputate on Tuesday.
Product was well made, arrived quickly and great communication via email throughout the process.
My dog recently had an injury to his tail that required TWO surgeries. He's a Boxer GSD mix and has the energy (and anxiety) that you would expect of that combo. This harness has been a true godsend for us. His tail is healing well and he isn't bothered by the harness at all. He has some "wiggle room" but no big swings to whack into anything which means the tail can heal properly and my house doesn't look like an episode of CSI. THANK YOU FOR THIS MIRACLE DEVICE!
Great product. Super fast shipping. Pup’s vet is very impressed with it and seems to be working!!
The same as a lot of pet owners here, I also thought my dog had the worse case of happy tail. We tried what we thought was everything from bandages to medicine. I was about to give up and just opt for the surgery because I couldn't bear the thought of how much it must hurt my baby. I was wiping blood off the walls everyday. I even had a routine when people came over to try and keep her calm. It got to the point that she didn't need to bang it against an object to start bleeding, it would bleed simply from hitting her own body. My sister showed me the TailSaver and I nearly cried! I initially ordered a Large as my Pitbull is weighing in at 86lbs, but upon arrival I realized she would more than likely need a size down. Julie did not hesitate to help us out! The medium came and fits her amazing. She was a little grumpy at first, but after a lot of treats and a little time she is adjusting well. I was more worried about how comfortable it would be when she sleeps since she is always napping, but she proved that it was no problem. I would recommend this product to anyone! Huge thanks to Julie for everything!!!
I just wanted to thank Julie for exceptional customer service support, I’ve had a few minor issues with the tailsaver and she has went above and beyond to rectify the issues! It’s so refreshing to get great customer service especially in this day and age! The product overall is absolutely wonderful and a way better solution than other alternatives (ego. surgery and/or docking the tail) I can’t say thank you enough for the service and support I’ve received!!! If you’re are having issues with happy tail syndrome with your pet and are questioning this product, take it from me….Do not hesitate in purchasing this!!!
My pup injured her tail by slapping it repeatedly on the walls/door frame/us you name it. I tried to use coban, bandages and gauze but she just wagged it off no matter what I did. In fact the bandaids were actually causing her harm by pulling hair and tender skin off. After visiting with the vet and being told amputation was probably in the future I made the decision I would drive 8 hrs to pick this up. My pup is my life and I was going to do everything possible for her. I called to find out exactly what on her I had to measure and found out they will overnight it to me. It was late in the day and she was already home but went over everything with me. It's been about 3 weeks or so and so far her tail has healed nicely. She has a small sore still and I do not want to be premature and pull it off until she is totally healed. This is worth the money!!! Everything you will be told is true. Pups feel like they can't walk when you put it on initially but give it a day and they will be moving.
My dog had to get part of his tail amputated following a degloving injury. After the amputation his tail was not healing properly. I tried everything but he kept reinjuring it on walls, etc. Eventually, my doctor started talking about performing a second amputation to make his tail even shorter. As a last ditch effort I bought the tailsaver. It actually worked and healed right up! Thanks!

Happy tails in wolfhounds are a nightmare. Brighid wore the hapoytail for several days and the padding and airflow helped heal the tail much faster than the other methods I have tried. I did have to watch the video several times, but once it was on, She didnt mind it.
I spent hundreds of dollars on vet appointments and first aide tape trying to get my lab’s tail to heal! After nearly 4 weeks of her happy tail painting my white kitchen cabinets with drops of blood, I finally had enough. I found this website and I was pretty skeptical at first. But hey, what’s another 70$? Well, I’m SO glad I did. After a week my lab’s tail is nearly healed. I did have to contact Julie because I stupidly trimmed the under strap too short!! She was so great!!! She answered me very quickly and immediately sent me a new strap! Amazing! Thank you for being inventive and fixing this horrible problem for my big baby!!
I was absolutely 100% against cutting off my dogs tail and this (we call it her brace) is the only thing that made that a reality. Absolutely has changed the game for the saddest happy syndrome a pup can have
This tail saver literally saved my dog's tail, and my sanity. She does not have to wear it all the time, but without it on at the necessary times I don't believe her tail would have ever healed. We are getting close and it's been about 3 weeks since starting to use it. Well worth the investment. It works!!
Aside from an error we made the first time we put it on our dog, (we didn’t thoroughly read the instructions) it has been so helpful! Her tail is healing nicely. I really like that she can do all of her normal things (eating, drinking, playing, potty) without issue while wearing the tail saver. Highly recommend!!
Our girl is a wagging, jumping neurotic dog. The tail saver has been great to help protect her recent tail tip amputation, which would have been avoided if I'd had the tail saver sooner. With this product I am no longer concerned her entire tail will be taken. Our girl doesn't chew the covering and it it provides constant protection from dirt, and absorbes some impact from her crazy wags. Julie was wonderful with responding to my email questions and making sure we got the product ASAP. Definitely recommending to my vet with our follow up!
Its excellent, so happy with purchase, it's the only thing that works for happy tail. In just 2 days my dogs tail is healing and he seems perfectly comfortable with it. I did cut off the last bit of the sleeve as it was too long.I'm keeping it on day and night for the time being. Thank you
I walk downstairs one morning to find my house turned into a horror movie production titled “wtf happened here?!” Blood. Splatter. Everywhere. And I mean everywhere. Even on the cats. Turns out our poor dog accidentally got the tip of his tail stuck in the door. Our local vet recommended the Tail Saver and let me tell you, I am SO glad he did. If I had to clean up an American Psycho crime scene one more time…I’d have probably lost my mind. Julie was BEYOND helpful throughout the whole process and we ordered an XL for our dude. He wears it like a champ and his tail tip is healing SO nicely because of it. Shipping was insanely fast as well! Can’t say enough great things about this company!
this product worked great! for about a week until my Great Dane chewed through the strap. I sewed it together but he chew through it again the next day. If there is a way to replace the straps without having to buy another whole harness, I would be grateful! It was working great to prevent the massacre in my kitchen.
We moved into a small apartment, one that provided a perfect-storm of tail-bludgeoning geometries. The narrow entry way presents a tight corner where a closet door and the apartment door meet. Upon entry Buddy would get so excited to see us while, at the same time, getting backed into this corner at the exact moment that his happiness rang out. Before we were smart enough to know what was happening, we called it the drum roll. The tail was moving so fast, whacking each side of the wall, creating a drum roll effect that Tony Kenning would be proud of. Fast forward a few weeks and we started to notice red [blood] spatter in that corner...and just about everywhere else as the F=ma on this whip could get some distance. We eventually got pretty good at securing a sock (taped at the very base of the tail), but it wasn't a great solution. We spent > $100 on four cones of escalating size, all of which Bud-man defeated during the night, getting to his tail and making it worse. We built our own mouse-trap with a pool noodle and bungy cords tied to a harness. He whipped off the noodle in a nanosecond. We admitted defeat, went to the vet and they googled until they found the TailSaver. Then they have us a $1500 estimate to remove 5" of tail if that didn't work. Talk about motivation. We immediately purchased the TailSaver, spent the 20-30 minutes getting it just right, and it just worked. We did cut the first segment off the tail protector to shorten if up. We kept the cone on him night one, but then moved to spraying the platypus tail with some bitter-apple and let him go without the cone. He never complained, never went after it, and the tail started healing. He did a get a little bit of chafing but very minor. After 1 week we began removing the device when we were with him, then after two weeks were able to remove it all the time as the tail was in fairly good shape albeit still hairless, and he was not going after it. Now we keep him away from any tight corners and the tail continues to, slowly, grow hair back.
We are still attempting to save Smiley’s tail without amputating. The TailSaver is working because she is not even trying to get at it through the tail sleeve. Smiley had gotten to her tail 2 hours before the TailSaver arrived (delayed due to inclement weather) and she exposed the tip of the bone. The infection is gone and we have been doing a laser treatment and antibiotics. The vet is now hoping a salve will help build up skin around the bone… it’s a long road but I think we will save her tail!
Our Great Dane has a case of the Happy Tail and the blood trail was awful. we tried everything including hundreds of dollars in unnecessary vet visits. Finding the K9 Tail Saver really did save Domino's tail from the possibility of amputation. It's truely the only thing that works and it's extremely to use and does not seem to both Domino a all. Thank you!!!
We were very pleased with the product. It was super easy to use & worked great for our 60lbs Catahoula. Unfortunately, our poor baby still had to have her tail amputated. This product was ideal in helping keep her very damaged tail safe until her surgery. I wish I found this sooner so we were able to help save her tail, but sadly she had done too much damage to it after her break & we did not find the tail saver in time. I wish everyone knew about it! Thank you for making such a great item. Our vet was very excited to see it since he had never seen one before & thought it was amazing as well! We highly recommend everyone to keep it on hand for their “baseball bat happy tail” fur-babies!!!! It’s at a great price point & totally worth every penny :) On a fun point, my kids loved how it looked & started calling our dog a Platypus with it on.
