FAQ for ProCare Canine Hock Brace for Joint Support
Find quick answers to common product questions.
How do I choose the right size?
Use the upper and lower hock measurements in the size guide and compare them carefully before ordering. Fit is more important than simply choosing by breed name.
Should I buy a single brace or a pair?
Choose based on your dog’s support needs and your veterinarian’s guidance. Some dogs need one targeted support point, while others may need a more balanced setup.
How long should my dog wear the brace?
Follow your veterinarian’s advice when possible and begin with short supervised sessions instead of assuming longer wear is always better.
Can this replace veterinary treatment?
No. It is a support product for supervised daily use, not a diagnosis, treatment, healing tool, or surgical substitute.
What if the brace slips or my dog seems uncomfortable?
Stop, re-check the fit, shorten the session, and reassess before continuing. Ongoing discomfort should be discussed with your veterinarian.
Is it appropriate for active or aging dogs?
It can be considered in both cases when hock-area support is part of the routine, but suitability still depends on the dog’s exact condition and fit needs.
How tight should the hock brace be?
It should sit snugly enough to stay in place, but not so tight that it leaves deep marks, restricts circulation, or changes your dog's movement. Re-check the fit during each supervised session.
