What is this dog leg brace designed for?
It is designed to add external support around a front or rear leg during short, supervised movement routines. It does not diagnose an injury or replace a veterinary care plan.
Can it help with ACL or CCL concerns?
A brace can add external support, but ACL or CCL concerns require veterinary diagnosis and guidance. Do not use it as a replacement for surgery, rehabilitation, pain care, or another prescribed plan.
Can I use it on a front or rear leg?
The brace is offered for front or rear support. Follow the product fit guide and confirm the brace sits on the intended leg without twisting, sliding, or pressing into the joint. After taking the leg measurements described above, use the ProCare leg brace size guide to compare the listed fit ranges before choosing.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure while your dog is standing and compare measurements A through D with the chart. Use weight only as a secondary guide, and ask a veterinarian or rehabilitation professional if swelling makes sizing uncertain.
Can my dog wear the brace all day?
Start with short supervised sessions. Remove the brace for rest unless your veterinarian gives different instructions, and check the skin and coat after every use.
How tight should the straps be?
They should be snug enough to hold the brace in place, but not so tight that they leave deep marks, restrict movement, or cause rubbing. Recheck the fit after a few slow steps.
Will the brace prevent another injury?
No brace can guarantee injury prevention. Use it only for the supported, supervised routine that fits your dog's condition and professional guidance.
How should I care for the brace?
Remove dirt after use, keep the brace dry between sessions, and inspect the straps and edges for wear. Do not use it over wounds, irritated skin, or new swelling.
