ABSTRACT:
A removable cover for the tail of an animal has a fabric enclosure that is fastened to the tail by a fastener that grips the tail below the dock of the tail. In an alternative embodiment, a tail cover is disclosed that grips the base of the tail by encompassing the tail in elastic fabric. In addition, a tail cover is disclosed that includes a support that extends upwardly from the fastener to help keep the upper portion of the enclosure on the upper portion of the tail to be covered. A method for covering a tail is also disclosed, including enclosing the tail in a fabric enclosure, holding the enclosure to the tail by a fastener that grips the tail below the dock of the tail, and supporting at least a portion of the enclosure above the fastener by inserting a flexible support into the enclosure between the fastener and the top of the enclosure.
