- Does it work for a torn ACL or hock injury?
- It supports the hock and lower rear leg, not the knee, so it is not an ACL brace. Use it for hock instability, Achilles issues or post-surgery support as directed by your vet.
- How do I choose the size and side?
- Measure the circumference of the hock and the leg length, then pick the size from the brand's chart. The brace is sold for the left or right leg, so order the side that needs support.
- Can my dog wear it all day?
- Many owners use it for walks and supervised time indoors. Take it off for sleep and check the skin and straps regularly, and follow your vet's wear schedule.
- Is it washable?
- Yes. The nylon wipes clean and the brace can be hand washed and air dried. Check the straps for wear after washing.
- Is it better than a custom splint?
- A custom splint gives rigid immobilization for fractures. This brace gives soft, adjustable support and is easier to fit and clean, but it is not a replacement for a vet-fitted orthotic.
