Abstract: An animal restraint for holding all of an animal's body, except for its head, while the animal is being examined, medicated or treated. The animal restraint comprises a sleeve of material having a large opening at one end and a smaller head opening at its other end. The animal restraint may include closures for the large opening and for the head opening. In addition, the animal restraint may include shoulder closures and hip closures for securely holding the animal with its legs folded comfortably beneath it, in order to help prevent the animal from struggling to escape. The animal restraint may be made from mesh material in order to permit the animal to be conveniently bathed, powdered or injected while inside of the animal restraint.
