Look what I made

No, I don't mind sharing the cost.

I got the vet wrap on ebay, and I think that was a bad move, because the shipping was a lot, so it cost $12. That was for 4 rolls, and I used less than 2, so we'll count it as $6. The PVC was $5.50, and the connectors were $1.15 each, so times 6 is $6.90, so it's a total of $18.40 plus tax, so around $19. But if you get cheaper vet wrap, it could lower your cost. Oh, and the rings were another dollar (yes, I did get them at the dollar store), but I had them already.

LOVE IT !! what a great idea.
now, where do we get vet tape?? I saw on another thread that it was hard to come by. thanks for any help.

Well, I got mine on EBay. I have heard they sell it petsmarts, and any pet or feed store that sells horse supplies. Also vets usually carry it, I know mine does, they used it to wrap my dog's foot after he had surgery. Someone also said they found it at their dollar store, and their is also a human version that can be purchased in pharmacies.

Yeah.... you should be able to find vet wrap in just about any pet store. It's usually found in the dog section. It comes in many different colors. I use it on the play stands, on manzanita perches (since they're so slippery)..... It really comes in handy.

Thought some members may enjoy this, so just a "bump" for anyone else who may be interested in making their own!

Oh and two other cheap places to find vet wrap are Orscheln's and Upco. At one place it was like $1.30 a roll and at the other like $1.75. I believe Orscheln's was a little higher but we have to travel 70 miles to get to the Upco so unless we are already making a trip there it isn't worth the gas LOL!

Thanks for bumping this Monica.

Great job Kristy! I love it.

p.s. I buy my vet wrap at the Drs. Foster & Smith site. I think it was in the horse section , but just use the search function to locate it.

Tractor Supply Company. Quality Farm and Fleet. Chicks saddlery(online) Look for discount horse supplies online for vet wrap. Your vet will charge you an arm and a leg. Any Farm supply will carry it. Kids in 4H use it for all the animals not just horses. Its way cheaper that way.
