Dog Braces for Rear Hock Short Version

My special guy is 15 years old now, he is a mixed breed(pomerian poodle) dog about 20 pounds with shorter legs ). He has arthritis and back trouble due to having had lyme when he was a pup so he is an in the house dog and does not go on walks. He had times when he has had trouble jumping onto the couch and walking up or down the 2 steps I have and of course this has gotten worse over the years to the point where he was now falling, losing balance with his rear legs slipping out from under him. Recently the right back leg has gotten worse where he has lost muscle tone, has pain in his thigh leg and wouldn't put his foot down. When he couldn't put his foot down I knew I had to do something immediately. I did some research and found out that these braces could be helpful. I was very skeptical, something so small?. I ordered from AMAZON and got it so FAST!! I purchased the SMALL size and they fit perfectly. He can walk, go down the steps to go outside to the potty, stand to eat and has gotten used to wearing them everyday. Of course you take them off at night. It has made a tremendous difference in my dogs quality of life. Before using the braces we had to carry him in and out and he could barely stand to go potty or eat. He's not going to jump on the couch anymore, but he is doing everything else. I recommend for anyone who is skeptical like I was to give it a try. Customer service was very helpful.

We found that the supports would push out while our dog has them on and she didn't like them. Also after sewing the support pockets so the removal supports wouldn't work themselves out we found that the Velcro straps are fraying apart. The reflective tape has come off. Poor quality!

These have been a lifesaver for us with our 13 years old Labrador Retriever He has torn his ligament and has been using them while he is healing The only down side is there are metal rods that are in the braces and they are starting to stick out after 2 weeks of wear The braces have been so helpful and I will probably purchase another pair while he is healing but thought I should share this about these braces

I have a 12Ib female Maltese. My dog has knee issues but I have her wear it 12 hours a day and within 3 days she's already improved. Before she wouldn't even stand on the affected leg. It's well made, sturdy enough for my energetic dog and it's a lot cheaper than going to vet. I'd be careful about the springs inside though. The fabric may be sturdy but it's not that thick. Check to make sure everything is in place and sewn together before putting it on. Just to make sure the spring doesn't come out and scratch.

I hate having to give one star because the product was working so well for a while. My older dog was having rear leg issues and was unsteady so I decided to use this product to give him some more support. It worked great and he was able to be more mobile but much later started limping. I took the braces off and the spring had poked through one of the braces and had dug into one of his legs! This is very disappointing because this product idea is great for an ailing or elderly dog but the design flaw makes it not worth the risk. If you use this product I HIGHLY suggest that you make sure that the spring is not poking through the brace because it can cause injury to your pet. I feel very terrible about this, but I was truly interested in helping him be able to move around better and wanted to do whatever I could to help.

Returned: Bought for my 8 yr old lab. She had surgery and is in the end stages of recovering. Worked great day one and deteriorated over the course of the next week. The springs work their way out and are on the inside of the brace. (Digs into dogs leg...) we had to keep stopping to push them back. In. Then they began to stretch lengthwise and shorten top to bottom as they got wet...then the spring pockets developed holes... so i returned they said they were re working the design...next month..

My 11 year old Pitt mix loves evening walks in the woods, but due to arthritis he reached a point where he was stopping every 2-3 minutes for a leg rub or for my husband to carry him (which isn't a great option since he's almost 70 pounds). These leg braces are not a perfect cure but they have helped immensely! He walks more confidently as soon as we put them on and stops less often. We've found that even though he only has 1 bad leg he needs both braces on to really see the benefits, and needs the spring inserts left inside as well. Occasionally he can even run with these when he feels up to it! I wasn't sure if he would need the long or short legged version but after trying them on he's definitely a short. I don't understand exactly how these help because as other reviewers have said they don't reach the knees, but I'm just glad they do! They are so so worth the price to see him enjoying activities again.

This evening I opened my Amazon package to find an unpleasant surprise- one new brace and one that had obviously been returned. I’ll be honest, I was so creeped out at receiving a used, dirty, dusty, hairy brace that I started writing this review before I even tried it on my dog. I’m not easily grossed out but there is something repellent about another dog’s dust, dander and hair on something I just ordered. I did want to find out if my dog would wear them so I put the unused one on him. He refuses to walk with the brace on so I suppose it’s a no-go for us new and/or used. It went on easily and fit him just fine. I’m not sure how long the Velcro would last, honestly, but other than that it seems fine.

Has the steel springs. Better than the pure velcro types. All as I had hoped.

It's good unfortunately was to help my dog he left us RIP

Cet article est simplement nul et ne sert a rien. A éviter. En plus, vous ne pouvez pas le rendre donc faites attention.

The vet said they required to take x-rays to determine if the bone was broken costing £700 then if so an operation costing £4000 but as she is 13 I did not want to put her through all incase she would not pull through.

I was so hoping this would help my little guy and support his leg during rehabilitation, but despite measuring, the sizes are just TOO small. He is a cat, and yes, this listing states that these are dog braces but the packaging also states that they are suitable for cats too. (see photo) I ordered S based on the measurements but I don't even think an M would have cut it and ordering L for a cat seems wrong. The sizes on the listing don't match the sizes on the packaging either, the packaging claim the 'Leg Circumference' to be 0.25" BIGGER than the listing, so even that is misleading. These should have absolutely fit him based on these measurements. I also didn't realise they were non-returnable/non-refundable. Whereas I see now that it's written in the listing itself, it's the first time I've ever encountered a non-refundable item on Amazon, and for £35, that's just taking the biscuit! You're effectively gambling your money on these sizes. Order with caution. Or better yet, don't order at all.
