K9 TailSaver® Set
K9 TailSaver® Set
What's Included:
Support Harness: This comfortable harness secures the Tail-Sleeve and features adjustable straps and fasteners for easy on and off. Made from AirMesh with a ripstop nylon exterior for water resistance and a flexible neoprene neck for comfort, it's designed for long wear with no pressure points.
Protective Tail Sleeve: This breathable and secure sleeve fully encases your dog's tail, the durable cotton canvas and quick-dry AirMesh allows for airflow for fast healing. Adjustable straps with five strategically placed anchor points to the harness prevent twisting and keep the sleeve secure and comfortable. * Harness sizes match your ordered size, Sleeve labels are paired with a metric not always matching the harness. It'll fit well based on breed and weight.
How It Works:
The K9 TailSaver keeps your dog's tail injury clean and covered, allowing for easy wound inspection and healing. Potty breaks while wearing the TailSaver are mess-free and it's comfortable enough for long term wear.
Putting on and removing the TailSaver is simple and takes about 1-2 minutes once the straps are adjusted initially. It involves unfastening four buckles.
Anchoring System:
Four straps hold the Tail Sleeve securely in place and prevent twisting. Two straps run along the back connecting the sleeve to the harness. Another strap provides diagonal support under the chest, and the wag belt positions the tail lower than the dog's back to discourage wagging. All straps are positioned away from your dog's belly for comfort and mess-free potty-time.
Sizing:
We recommend using our size-by-breed chart for the best fit. However, a sizing tool is also provided. If your dog is mixed breed, choose the size based on a similar body type (e.g., Labrador for medium-sized dogs, German Shepherd for long-bodied dogs, Great Dane for giant breeds).
* Harness sizes match your ordered size, Sleeve labels don't always match harness labels (we mix/match to create excellent fit)
Custom Orders:
Custom sizing is available with a 1-2 day lead time. To order a custom size, we'll need your dog's breed, weight, back length, and tail length. for short legs see our "short-legs" tips on our website help page. Short Torso/Huge chest = our special XL. size.

When 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!
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.
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.
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
