Front Leg Hock Wrist Carpal Support

Bought these for my ShiPoo. She was 9lbs & had Poodle small boned legs with a long wide Shitzi body. And, throughout her years, she’d had 4 surgeries on her legs. During her last year, I bought these to provide support for her front knees. They helped her a lot. This was a good purchase for her. She didn’t like them but they did help.

Thank you for the well thought of braces. My fussy Terrie that has painful arthritis has gotten used to these quite quickly. They help him on walks. He can’t walk very far like he used to- BUT he does make a good effort on our morning walk. He goes a a very slow but steady pace. This is si good for his spirits since he gets to see his buddies and “smell” all the latest news~The price was a stretch for me since I have expensive health issues myself. However these are worth the cost for my loyal companion. I hope you don’t raise the price. It has been very rainy and I’m goin tomhave to order more.One more question~ I have a petite Chihuahua, 6lbs very frail. I would really appreciate having a pair for her.ho ever they would need to be half the size of the XS that I have for my Terrier. Thisould entail reducing all aspects of the leg brace. If you are interested I would gladly speak with you regarding the semantics.Again job well done on a good product. I have 5 other friends that have ordered these for there pets sides they have seen how much it has aided Beau. Thank you, Sandra

Overall I am pleased with the product, I have the same issue others are reporting about it coming loose. I've tried putting it on extra tight, but I also tried putting it on upside down and that seems to work. I definitely see a difference when walking my dog, she doesn't limp near as much anymore and can keep up with the younger ones better.

I bought the extra small for my cat and they worked not that great the way they instruct you to put them on, and Jinx removed them in about 3 hours. So I turned them upside down, with the shorter velcro at the top, and the longer velcro at the bottom. That way I could make it tighter at the bottom as the shorter velcro is too short to be of much use. I also had to add 2 bamboo sticks for more support. One at the front, as I tighten the velcro, and one at the back of his leg. The braces were not supportive enough without the sticks. I just bought some barbeque skewers and broke off 2" pieces and sanded the ends. So far it seems to be working okay. He's just getting used to wearing them and kind of shakes his paws as he walks but with them on upside down it does support his carpal hyperextended front legs better. I take them off at night like I read in a vet online site to do. I couldn't really rate the comfort, which I think is an odd category, since I'm not wearing them myself. I would guess that Jinx thinks they're not all that comfy being as cats don't like having stuff put on them.Using them for a week now, it's such a hassle to try and put the sticks in as I tighten the velcro, so today I used some black electrical tape to carefully tape the sticks to the braces, being careful not to cover any velcro. It makes them much easier to put onI've used them for 6 months now. The longer stretch velcro strap has lost most of its elasticity. I'm having to buy a new pair now. I wish there was some other brand, or a different solution entirely, that would work for cats but if there is I haven't found it. So for now, this is better than him walking around on the back of his front legs.

I had this brace on my dog, went into the other room to get something, and came back and the majority of the top strap was chewed up, and this is no longer functional. So, it only lasted five minutes. Sure would have been nice if there were suggestions on how to keep my dog from chewing this up, and the quality of the elastic is very, poor. What a rip off!

These braces more than met my expectations. And speaking of expectations, you have to have reasonable ones. I've seen some critical reviews, but honestly, for what these are, they're very effective. My 13 year old dog was starting to stumble occasionally while on her walks. I noticed her front right leg appeared to give out on her once in a while when she hit a certain pace. It seemed weak and like it could use some support or reinforcement. Ever since we've started using the braces on her. She hasn't fallen once. A couple of times she looked like she might be about to take a little tumble, but with the braces she was able to recover very quickly and it never turned into a fall. You have to make sure to fasten them tight, just like the instructions say. I can only imagine that the reason why some people say they droop or fall is that they're not tightening them enough. Anyway, she took to them right away and I'm very happy with the reinforcement that they offer and the confidence and comfort I feel now that she's using them.

Didn't like them

Product was a little overkill for what I was looking for so returned
