A post-surgery garment for a four-legged animal has a one-piece body member having a bottom section, an open top section opposing the bottom section, a rear section, a front section opposing the rear section and a pair of opposing side sections. Each of the opposing side sections run from the bottom section to the open top section and from the front section to the rear section. A pair of front leg openings is formed through the bottom section and located adjacent the front section. The pair of front leg openings is positioned so that one of the pair of front leg openings is formed proximate each of the opposing side sections. A pair of rear leg openings is formed through the bottom section and located adjacent to the rear section. The pair of rear leg openings is positioned so that one of the pair of rear leg openings is formed proximate each of the opposing side sections. An adjustable rear sleeve extends down from each of the pair of rear leg openings. A plurality of straps extends up from each of the pair of opposing side sections and proximate the open top section. The plurality of straps is aligned so that a plurality of straps extending up from one of the pair of opposing side sections is positioned across from and aligned with a corresponding strap from the plurality of straps extending up from the second of the pair of opposing side sections. A protective collar is attached to the open top section and the front section.

A removable garment for an animal is presented. The removable garment has two parts: a base unit and a covering unit. The covering unit is larger than the base unit, and it is easily attached to and detached from the base unit.
