HandicappedPets Carpal Style Front Leg Dog Splint

I had 2 CUSTOM braces made for my shepherd after surgery. The brace on the foot was too narrow & deformed her foot. So I had it remade, and the 2nd was too big. I tried this brace in hope that it would help (she has hyper=extended ligament in both front legs) although it did not have the shoe portion, which is best, but I was desperate and I This brace is well made,however, it did not fit because it is way too narrow & puts too much pressure on the leg. The company needs to include measures, NOT JUST the dog's circumference, but the INSIDE circumference of the brace from where the padding starts, not where the plastic framework is. If the dog's leg measure 5" the inside fit needs to be 5". I had 2 CUSTOM braces made for my shepherd after surgery. The brace on the foot was too narrow & deformed her foot.

IF they are will to do that, this brace may help in minor injuries.Otherwise, if it is a medical condition, I would have your vet measure for a custom brace. I am having a 3rd custom made-expensive! but in the long run, it is medically better. … more

Ordered an XL. Only made for small dogs. Way to small.....................................................................................

My Lab tolerated wearing this splint for a couple of weeks before she chewed one of the straps off

My GSD uses this splint with ease-it is very sturdy and does what it should.

Millie is an older dog who is missing her left front leg following amputation several years ago. The remaining right front leg has weakened substantially and the paw turns inward. This brace is easy for her to wear and does give some support, which is a definite improvement.

This was purchased for my 9 year old German Shepard, whose front legs are going bad. Her ligaments from her Carpal down to her foot are stretched. This seems to fit her well and I only use this when I take her for a short walk. This keeps her leg upright. Its very sad to see, but as long as we can go on short walks together this seems to make her happy and I know her ligaments are stable. It does slip a little but were still working with adjustments.

Have a Great Pyrenees... was really counting on this to help him walk but it didn’t even come close to fitting. Knew as soon as I looked at it. Way to narrow. Will not fit any dog unless they have small sticks for legs. No bulk or husky dog.

I have a 14 1/2 year old Belgian Malinois who is in good health but he abused his body a lot. His pasterns are broken down, his feet are flat and he has arthritis. His left front leg has an old injury and a toe where the tendon was ripped. This has put extra work on his right leg which has much arthritis now. I tried several homemade braces but nothing worked. So I bought this for him for his weak left side. I use a sock under it for padding. He actually seems to accept it and I noticed he can stand better without his legs being both bowed out as his wrist. My only complaint is that the large which according to measurements should have fit him perfectly but it is a bit too large.

I don't know for sure if I have it on correctly but it stays on and does not seem to bother him. In fact I think it may be more comfortable. His right wrist would bow in after walking for some time and this has not happened. … more
