Very important note on band sizing - Please note that the 1/8" bands that come with the Tail Docking and Dewclaw Removal Kit work for the average medium to larger breed such as Boxers or Dobermans who are docked fairly near the body. If you have a small breed, puppies with thinner tails, preemies, or are removing only a small part of the tail from the tip (such as some pointer breeds), we recommend adding a package of the 3/16" bands so that you can double them over to prevent sliding. (Think of a rubber band doubled over a pony tail.)
Band size choices:
1/8" - The bands that come with the kit are 1/8” diameter and have been used successfully on small to medium tails as well as on large breed tails. A package of 100 1/8" bands comes with all versions of the kit.
3/16" - This is a larger band used on thinner tails so it can be easily doubled over. Bands are typically doubled over the elastrator prongs for thin tails to prevent sliding. Those who have tried doubling over the smaller 1/8" bands have found it difficult, as well as more painful (too tight) unless puppies have thin tails. Please order an additional package of 3/16" bands if you have think you may need to double the bands over. Having a slightly larger band makes it easier to double the bands over the prongs and more comfortable on the puppy. If you are unsure which size you will need, we recommend that you order a package of 3/16" bands in your cart, so you can try both to see which you prefer. If you need help, you can order a color booklet with detailed instructions by itself. Just choose the Instruction Book only from dropdown menu here.
