The first impression

Packaging and contents

ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

At first glance, great importance is attached to product protection and packaging. The leak protection was packaged in a precisely fitting cardboard box, which ensures optimum securing and protection of the product. With regard to the sustainability of the packaging, it was found that the instructions for use of the leak protection are shrink-wrapped in a transparent plastic film. This film serves as additional protection against soiling and damage during transportation. However, we are of the opinion that this film can be dispensed with as the product packaging is already sufficiently robust. Overall, however, care has been taken to avoid unnecessary packaging material.

When we opened the box, we examined the contents and were satisfied with the scope of the packaging. In addition to the leak protection , the packaging contained an Allen key and instructions for use. The inclusion of the assembly tool is highly commendable.

The instruction manual has proven to be very useful . It is very detailed and beautifully illustrated. The detailed instructions make it easy for the user to apply the leak protection and ensure optimum use.

Overall, we were impressed by the first impression of the leak protection in terms of product protection, packaging, package contents and instructions for use. The careful packaging, the extensive contents and the detailed instructions are evidence of a high-quality product presentation.

The leak protection is ready for the practical test.

The leak protection is cleanly and carefully processed and sewn, making it tear-resistant, stable and durable. The seams are particularly fine and soft. The material has a pleasant, even and balanced feel. The straps, which are attached to the dog, are flexible and robust. The product was developed in cooperation with German vets and is made by hand from high-quality materials in the rural parts of North Rhine-Westphalia. The lick leak protection is supplied pre-assembled and consists of a neck strap, a longer torso strap, 2 coated aluminum strips and a hexagonal wrench for individual adjustment of the harness. The harness is placed around the dog’s neck, the aluminum strips are guided along the sides of the dog and fixed with the torso strap at the end of the ribs. If the dog now tries to reach its rear torso area, it pushes the strips in front of its hips through the turning movement and thus pushes them to the side. It is therefore not possible to reach the affected area . They are comfortable to wear.

This is what our practical test showed

Kleck leak protection keeps its promises. Kleck leak protection is a compatible and comfortable alternative to standard funnel protection. It improves hygienic well-being and helps the wounds to heal as well as possible . We have tried it out: In contrastto the funnel, it is possible for the dog to move around without any problems. With the patented product, the dog can eat, sleep and play as usual, unless the treating doctor recommends otherwise. It is also very comfortable to wear . The soft seams and the material make it particularly comfortable and pleasant. The neoprene is lightweight and easy to care for. It is particularly soft and thin to maintain the comfort of the lick protector. The dog’s coordination of movement is fully maintained. As the lick guard is available from the manufacturer in a wide range of standard sizes, it can be flexibly adapted to individual dog needs and is therefore suitable for all dog breeds . The flexible and robust straps on the lick guard prevent it from slipping and keep it firmly in place on the dog. In the case of chronic or recurring illnesses , the Kleck lick protector can also be worn over a longer period of time due to the minimal restriction of the animal. The lick protector was manufactured in North Rhine-Westphalia. All in all, Kleck lick protection is a health-promoting, sustainable and highly recommended product.

Price/performance ratio

and ratings from consumers

ℹ️ Finally, we examine how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also look at the consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.

The Kleck leak protection is therefore currently in the upper price segment with a price of € 87.49. The price-performanceratio isreasonable for the quality and performance received.
