Dog Canine Front Leg Brace Wrap, Pair of Dog Leg Compression Sleeve Wrap with Metal Strips Protects Wounds Brace Heals and Prevents Injuries & Sprains Helps Arthritis S/M

I purchased these braces for my 40 pound dog who has a neurological disease which is gradually decreasing her ability to walk as her muscles deteriorate. Her back legs (which I used braces on for over a year) are no longer functional so I carry her back end in a sling. Her front legs are beginning to buckle so I wanted to try these and see if keeping her front legs straight would help. YES, it does! I use them when she goes outside and she can fully use her front legs because the braces keep them rigid. I am sure it is not particularly comfortable but she certainly doesn't mind wearing them. I do not keep them unless she is going outside because I am sure they would rub in the wrong places. Besides, she cannot get up by herself so she isn't going to walk in them independently ;) I like that they have metal bars in the sides to keep it firm against her legs. The velcro is unbelievably strong which can be annoying to take them off but I have had other products where the velcro was so weak that it stopped sticking after a few weeks. I got an XL based on the sizing recommendations (she was right on the border) but I would have purchased a Large if I had been able to compare them. These work but it is because when I put them on I make sure they are fully folded over her legs. If they were any bigger I would not be able to use them. But my dog has very skinny legs so her weight is not in a good ratio when looking at the sizing. I wish they were sized by circumference of the leg, not body weight. I would definitely purchase this brace again because they are effective and SOOOOO much cheaper than a lot of the other brands.

Our XL male has arthritis in one ankle. Fortunately, so far short term medication helped tremendously. For when his ankle flares up again we purchased these and another brand. Even though they help him, he hates them and can't get used to them. We continued working with him though, to get him used to them in case one day he needs to wear them permanently. Highly recommend them for durability, ease of putting on and removing them.

Our Rottweiler cut himself on the front of his 'ankle' and licked it constantly. We tried bandages, tape, cone, more tape....he tore it all off and kept licking. This leg brace works on either front legs (haven't tried on back legs), is super easy to put on and STAY ON, he doesn't try to chew it off and can run and chase the ball with no problem. It is terrific and we are thrilled that we found it!

they slide down

Do not waste your money. This is not made to stay on a dog's leg. It stays on long enough to take a picture. My dog can get it off in the first 5 min.

Our 13 yr old Boston Terrier was diagnosed with Lymphoma in April. It spread to his bones and he has 2 tumors in his front leg, just above the ankle. We got this brace to give him some more stability and support when he walks and it has been wonderful once we worked out how to get it to not slip down. Because of the neoprene, it seemed to slide down his skinny little leg as he moved. We ended up getting some cohesive bandage wrap and when we change it after washing, I just put a fresh wrap on his leg and then put the brace over it. It stays on wonderfully. As for washing, it comes in a set of 2, so I wash one while he is wearing the other. I hand wash and hang to dry. Very durable and easy to clean. All in all, I highly recommend this support brace with the addition of a layer of cohesive wrap underneath.

Bought these to stop our dog from licking his leg until it was raw. No good. He learned how to pull them off in no time. I ordered the S/M size, which I thought would fit perfectly and they did. They weren't loose at all, but our dog chewed and pulled until it came off.

My elderly small dog had been holding up her right front leg and hobbling about on three legs. This brace allows her to walk normally making it worth every penny and earning it 5 stars.
