Abstract

A pet protection system includes a leg portion having a first end having a first cross-section having a flexible opening to insert a pet foot therethrough; an angled portion coupled to the first end and having a second cross-section greater than the first cross-section; and a second end coupled to the angled portion, wherein the second end has a third cross-section greater than the second cross-section; and a body portion coupled to the leg portion, the body portion forming a loop that fits securely on a body of the pet.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A pet protection system, comprising:
 a leg portion having:
 a first end having a first cross-section having a flexible opening to insert a pet foot therethrough; 
 an angled portion coupled to the first end and having a second cross-section greater than the first cross-section; and 
 a second end coupled to the angled portion, wherein the second end has a third cross-section greater than the second cross-section; and 
   a body portion coupled to the leg portion, the body portion forming a loop that fits securely on a body of the pet.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the second end has an outer side and an inner side, the outer side being longer than the inner side. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the inner side comprises either a curved shaped top portion or a substantially L shaped top portion of the second end. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the second end comprises a tapered shape. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the body portion comprises an elongated shape. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , comprising two straps coupling the body portion to the second end. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the body portion tapers into one strap. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the straps comprise a male end coupled to the body portion and a female end coupled to the second end. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the straps are under a pet's belly when used on a hind limb to avoid slippage off a pet's back. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the two straps connect with a male and female buckle fastener to provide reversibility. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein at least one or more portions are glued together, sewn together or fused together by heat sealing to form a seam. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1 , comprising an elastic band at a bottom of the first end to prevent slippage off a foot or up a leg. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 1 , comprising a U-shaped area cut-out or a penis hole in the body portion. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 1 , comprising one or more attachments coupled to the one of the leg portions at a selected location on a body of the pet. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14 , comprising one or more pet offensive materials coupled to the one or more attachments to the pet to repel it from licking the selected location. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the offensive materials includes pepper, metronidazole, or bitter apple. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 14 , comprising wearable electronics coupled to the attachment to monitor or affect a pet. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 17 , wherein the wearable electronics monitor one of an activity level, a heart rate, a blood pressure, electrocardiogram (ECG) signal, or temperature. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 1 , comprising a hook and loop combination positioned on a selected area for securing a proper fit to avoid slipping or bunching. 
     
     
         20 . A method to protect a pet including a leg portion having: a first end having a first cross-section having a flexible opening to insert a pet's foot therethrough; an angled portion coupled to the first end and having a second cross-section greater than the first cross-section; and a second end coupled to the angled portion, wherein the second end has a third cross-section greater than the second cross-section; and a body portion coupled to the leg portion, the body portion forming a loop that fits securely on a body of the pet, the method comprising:
 with the pet lying down to prevent injury or falling, placing the first end portion on the leg portion;   stretching an ankle cuff portion of the sleeve over a pet's paw;   moving the pet into a standing position;   placing the body portion on an inside of the leg and wrapping the body portion around a belly of the pet towards an opposite leg; and   strapping the body portion with the second end to produce a tight fit.
