Questions & Answers

3 Customer Questions

Would this help with luxating patellas?

How do I know what size to order?

Answer by Chewy • Dec 16, 2022
To determine the correct size for your pet, use a flexible measuring tape and measure while your pet is standing. Measure the circumference of the upper thigh (measurement A), measure the circumference above the hock (measurement B), and measure the distance between the knee and the base of the hock (measurement C). Then compare these measurements with the size chart below:

Is this just one brace or does this product come as a pair?

well made, good splinting (XS)

This brace has 3 separate removable metal splints: one wide one in the front of the foot and two narrow ones that go on either side. The brace is well sewn and seems to be good quality. I bought this for my 18lb terrier mix with a tarsal dislocation and the XS size is perfect, the measurements are accurate. The bottom of the brace near her foot did rub and cause hair loss the first couple days it was on, so I just put a strip of medical tape across the inside of the brace that seems to have fixed the issue. The brace does tend to move down her foot/leg throughout the day, but that is unavoidable with such straight, tiny legs. Overall, it is well worth the price. I'm glad I didn't buy something cheap.

Good concept

This brace didnt fit by the size I was told. It kept sliding off.. so I tried again and got the next smaller one. It fit ok, but he can pull the velcro straps off

Wrap leg before use

I would like to give this item 5 stars because it’s helped my dog tremendously but when it’s worn for a longer period of time it does rub your dogs leg raw

Recommended from Orthopedic Surgeon

My dog broke her ankle, tore tendons and was in a hard cast. The cast caused sores and had to be removed. Her vet recommended this Balto brace to keep her ankle

My dog broke her ankle, tore tendons and was in a hard cast. The cast caused sores and had to be removed. Her vet recommended this Balto brace to keep her ankle secure. I ordered a size medium and she's a 60# golden doodle for reference.

Cannot wear constantly

The brace rubs and causes sores. Can be worn if you put bandage wrap on first.
