- Is this brace rigid enough for a torn ligament?
- It gives soft, springy support, not rigid immobilization. For a suspected tear or fracture, follow your vet's advice; a molded splint or surgery may be needed.
- How do I choose the size?
- Measure the hock circumference and leg length and match them to the size chart. When between sizes, size up and use the straps to tighten, since a loose brace slides.
- Can my dog wear it all day?
- Many owners use it for walks and supervised time, then remove it for rest. Check the skin and straps regularly and take it off if rubbing appears.
- Can I wash it?
- Yes. Remove the metal spring strips first, then hand wash the fabric and air dry it.
- Does it work for front legs?
- No. It is shaped for the rear hock; front-leg support needs a carpal brace.
- Is it a substitute for physical therapy?
- No. It supports the leg during activity but does not rebuild muscle. Use it alongside your vet's rehab plan.
- Where is the NeoAlly Rear Leg Hock Brace with Metal Spring Strips cheapest?
- At Chewy, for $47.99, as of our latest check.
