Extra Spring Supported Dog Rear Leg Hock Knee Brace Joint Wrap, USA Shipper

Description

NOTE These braces are not suitable for very small dogs weighing less than 10 lbs
Disabled Pet Gear brand product for our special friends in need.
The Spring Supportive Hock Brace for dogs is a neoprene compression brace for the hind leg which provides stability and support to the rear hock (knee) joint without compromising flexibility.
The supportive canine hock brace has metal support springs sewn inside the brace on both side of the leg. This provides the highest level of support possible while remaining flexible and comfortable for your dog to wear while being active
It can be used to help dogs heal from rear leg injuries. It can also be used as a preventative measure for elderly dogs which are at a higher risk for injuries as well as assist with arthritis.
Because the brace is made of strong, yet soft and flexible neoprene, the brace will always be both supportive and comfortable on your dog's leg.  As your dog ages, their joints will naturally deteriorate, just like they do in humans. This brace is an easy-to- use, comfortable option for dogs in need of a little help stabilizing and supporting the rear leg.

Train your dog to wear the brace:
1. Let him sniff the brace. Give a treat. Repeat a few times.
2. Touch his leg with the brace. Treat. Repeat until he becomes familiar with the brace. Liberally powder the inside of the brace with cornstarch or baby powder, put on the brace and fasten the buckle, treat, remove immediately. Repeat a few times.
3. Two hours on the first day and increase by an additional 1 hour per day as tolerated.
4. After the break-in period, wearing times should build up to 8-14 hours a day. Put the brace on in the morning and take it off at night.
Tips for using the brace
The dog should not wear the brace at night or when they are crated, unless specifically instructed to do so by the veterinarian or rehabilitation professional.
Walks are permitted based on the veterinarian's/rehabilitation professional's recommendation. Gradually increase walks as tolerated.
The right fit is key to using a brace correctly. Too loose and your dog will be able to remove it; too tight and it will inhibit his ability to breathe, pant, or drink and can cause painful chafing.
