Fasten the upper strap around the leg.
Fasten the lower strap again to tighten the grip.
Observe your dog’s movement and adjust the straps to ensure they’re snug but not too tight.

Brace Adjustment Tips

When introducing the brace to your dog, begin slowly to allow time for adjustment and comfort. Start with 30–60 minutes per session, 3–5 times per day, and gradually increase the wear time over several days as your dog gets used to it.
At first, use the brace only during active moments, such as short walks or playtime, to help your dog adapt while moving naturally.

After each session:

Remove the brace and gently check your dog’s skin for any signs of redness or irritation.
Allow the skin to breathe for a while before the next session.
• Unless your veterinarian specifically recommends otherwise, remove the brace at night to let your dog rest freely.

If you notice rubbing, swelling, or changes in your dog’s gait or posture, stop using the brace and contact your veterinarian before continuing.

Remember, every dog’s recovery and comfort level are different. Follow your veterinarian’s instructions regarding how long and how often your dog should wear the brace.

Care Instructions:
Hand-wash the brace using mild soap and cold water only.
Air dry the brace completely before reusing it.
Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or expose to direct heat.
Store flat in a cool, dry place to help preserve its shape and support.
