FAQ for ProCare Canine Hock Brace for Joint Support
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. After taking the hock measurements described above, use the ProCare hock brace size guide to compare the listed fit ranges before choosing.
Should I buy a single brace or a pair?
The available choices are Single (one pad) and Pair (two pads). Choose based on whether you need one pad or two. For injury, surgery recovery, swelling, or persistent limping, ask your veterinarian about the 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.
What support does the ProCare hock brace provide?
ProCare is a rear-leg hock brace for supervised daily stability routines. Start with a measured fit, short wear, and skin and gait checks. Use professional guidance for swelling, injury, surgery recovery, or persistent limping.
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.
How should I check the brace after a walk?
Start with short supervised wear, then check whether the brace stayed aligned and whether the straps or edges rubbed the skin or fur. Remove it and recheck the fit if your dog changes gait or keeps focusing on the brace. For injury, surgery recovery, swelling, or persistent limping, ask your veterinarian for guidance.
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.
