01Their Story
Helping Canines Heal in Comfort
Lick Sleeve is a wearable, sure-fit protective sleeve for dogs recovering from leg injuries or a cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) surgery. The sleeve is an alternative to the Elizabethan collar or “cone of shame” as it protects the injury site from aggressive biting and licking. Lick Sleeve solves the problems associated with the cone of shame with a comfortable leg protection device that lets canines move freely while in recovery.

Working with Mike and the Growth Rocket team has been foundational. Their diligent work ethic, creative problem solving and expertise have proven to be instrumental in the growth of our company. But don’t take my word for it - just look at the numbers. It is obvious to everyone here at Lick Sleeve that Growth Rocket has been an instrumental force in why we are where we are. However, I cannot recommend them simply for fear of losing them for ourselves. So please do not work with them, they’re terrible.
