NeoAlly® - Rear Leg Hock Brace, Dog Leg Brace for Rear Leg, Hock & Ankle Support for Large Dogs, Dog Brace for Torn Acl and Ccl, Long Version, Large, 1 Pair

These braces has worked great - I should have bought these earlier , I have a 14.5 yr old Golden Retriever with arthritis that struggled to stand up and once standing was very wobbly, 80% of the time I needed to pick her rear end up to get her to her feet , she would walk 10-20 feet and lay down again and thought I'd have to put her down soon. I ordered the braces , expedited the order , they arrived , and I put these on her hind legs. I wasn't expecting much but I helped her up to her feet once , seemed odd but immediately I noticed she seemed more stable and her legs were not twitching as much (wobbly) , she walked further , went to her hiding spot (signal she wanted to play) I threw the ball and she fetched it. I place the braces on every morning and take them off at night, We are now able to take longer more frequent walks , she can get up on her own and does not appear to struggle at all. Lucy has been wearing these braces for 3 weeks now and seems to be getting stronger and stronger. I believed these braces has help extend her life , quality of life , and is well worth the cost.

While these are nothing like the ankle brace the vet will fit you with, I do believe these provide some support. A big plus is, my dog does not mind wearing them. Sometimes I forget & leave them on most of the day, he doesn't care. I do wish we could buy just one leg or the other.

This one is the first I bought and it was too small even though I went by the size chart. Guess it depends on dog type as well and where they hold their weight. I did get another next size up and it really helped him till his legs got better.

Nice fits well works well

There is no hole on the back of either brace. The instructions state: "make sure the formed hole is right over the hock joint", but there is NO hole in either brace. As you can see from the attached pics, there is reinforced stitching where a hole should be. This is not at all as the item is pictured nor described, rendering the braces useless.

I tried 4 difference sizes on my dog because these seemed like they could help with this little ankle roll my dog does on his back legs, but after trying several sizes, I'm not convinced the issue is sizing. The design doesn't really offer much support. It could be because dog legs are hairy so there's not enough grip or that the hock area is pretty boney so it kind of fits on there like a lamp shade or something.In any case, I really liked the quality of them but maybe not great for bigger dogs with skinnier/longer legs. Probably best for thicker legs, if it does much at all. Also price point is a little excessive given the amount of material and simplicity of the thing. Par for the course with pet supplies though, right?TLD; too flimsy & weak fit for an 80lb dog with skinny boney legs. No stability. Sad these didn't work out for us.

We have a mastiff that tore her TLO (ACL) when she slipped chasing after a squirrel in our backyard. After she slipped, she was limping very badly. We got to opinions from 2 vets. The first vet said surgery to repair the injury is needed. The second vet (who is her primary) checked it out and prescribed some pain meds and a brace. We took her primary vets' advice, have her take the meds for pain, and used the brace. This combination worked and w/o the brace, i think it wouldn't have worked out well. she is in full recovery but does take meds for arthritis after the injury healed. she's going to be 10 years old this year and she looks healthy enough to live for at least a couple more.This brace didn't slide down off of her leg after taking her for many walks and seemed to help with her healing. i would definitely buy another pair of these if/when needed.

If you're on the fence about buying these, you should.I have a 14 year old beagle mix whos back legs would bow in and fall. She also would knuckle her back legs because of it and drag her feet..She couldn't lift herself up to her feet despite still being so vital. I though I'd try making a wheel chair, or what this meant for her quality of life and longevity.I read these braces helped stabilize the leg, and was apprehensive thinking it wouldn't be tall enough and its not the whole leg yaddayadda. Im glad I didn't let that stop me from trying.Amazing, immediate results.I put them on and shes able to stand up on her feet without bowing over. She can walk around the house instead of being stuck to one room.I've had them for over a month now, and her legs are so much stronger. She's able to walk down our back steps which is a big deal because prior her legs would simply buckle in and she'd fall.These not only make her happier to have, but strengthen her legs where the muscle weakened from disuse. She can take walks again around the block, slow and steady! When they're off, she's still able to walk around my home to go check out different rooms and beds.Its truly made me so happy to see such a dramatic change and know how much happier she is.
