When the bandage is properly fit to your dog, he should be very comfortable. If your dog will be wearing the bandage for more than one hour at a time, we recommend removing the bandage every 30-60 minutes during the initial trial periods to check for any signs of irritation points. That should help guide the fit as well as the help you determine the length of time your dog can comfortably wear the bandage. We also recommend checking for any visible signs of discomfort from the bandage and adjust accordingly.
