FAQ for ProCare Canine Hock Brace for Joint Support

How do I choose the right size for my dog?

To ensure a proper fit, measure the circumference of your dog's leg about 2 inches (5 cm) above the hock joint. Compare this measurement to the size chart on our product page. If you're between sizes, we recommend choosing the smaller size for a snugger fit.

Can my dog wear the brace all day?

Yes, the brace is made from lightweight, breathable neoprene designed for extended wear. However, we recommend removing it for at least a few hours each day, especially overnight, to allow the skin to breathe. Always start with shorter periods (1-2 hours) to let your dog get accustomed to it.

Is this brace suitable for recovering from an injury?

Absolutely. The brace provides excellent stability for weak or injured hocks, which is crucial during recovery. It helps to reduce strain and prevent re-injury. However, we always advise consulting with your veterinarian for a specific diagnosis and recovery plan.

How do I clean the hock brace?

Cleaning is simple. Hand wash the brace with mild soap and cool water. Rinse thoroughly and let it air dry completely before your dog wears it again. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the neoprene material.
