Fico’s hock brace is recommended by vets for supporting an inflamed, wounded, or strained hock joint. It helps dogs experiencing lameness, joint pain, or difficulty moving by providing both an elastic and stabilizing effect. Designed to alleviate pain, the brace applies mild pressure to the area, which promotes faster blood flow, providing warmth and pain relief. This feature makes the brace ideal for post-surgery care, as increased blood flow aids in quicker joint healing. In cases of strain, the sturdiness of the brace holds the joint in place, facilitating recovery, relieving pain, and preventing further injuries.
