- Do these braces replace a rigid splint?
- No. They give soft carpal support and help with knuckling, but they do not immobilize the joint. For fractures or severe injury, follow your vet's advice on a rigid splint or cast.
- How do I choose the right size?
- Measure the front leg circumference at the carpal joint and compare it with the size chart. Owners report sizing runs inconsistent, so check the return window before trimming anything.
- Can my dog wear them all day?
- They are light enough for extended wear, but check the straps and skin regularly. Remove them for sleeping or when the pet is alone and might chew them.
- Are they sold as a pair?
- Yes, the set covers both front legs. That suits pets with bilateral weakness, but you can use one brace at a time if only one leg needs help.
- Will they stay on during walks?
- They stay on for short, calm walks, but owners say the straps loosen with movement. Retighten before each walk and check the fit after a few minutes.
- Are they safe for cats?
- They are sized for dogs and cats, but cats often dislike straps on the legs. Try short sessions first and watch for chewing or stress.
- Where is the NeoAlly Pair Front Leg Braces for Dog & Cat Canine Carpal Support with Reflective cheapest?
