Bowserwear's bandage is designed to hold vertically along the leg so it is easy to bandage and protect. It offers the same gauze inserts as Bowserwear's medical dog boots so the wrap is also a dressing that can easily be changed. If you need extra length you can connect two wraps together or cut to shorten. Best to wrap from bottom of leg upward with the hook edge along the lower edge as you work your way up the leg.
