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.

FAQ

If you have additional questions, feel free to reach out to our support team! 💙🐾

What is a Stifle (Knee) Brace for dogs used for?

A stifle brace provides stability and support to a dog's knee joint, especially after an ACL/CCL tear, ligament injury, or cruciate ligament surgery. It helps reduce pain, inflammation, and aids recovery by preventing excessive movement.

What conditions can a knee brace help with?

A dog knee brace is effective for:

  • ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) / CCL (cranial cruciate ligament) tears
  • Ligament strains or injuries
  • Cranial cruciate ligament injury
  • Patellar luxation (dislocated kneecap)
  • Recovery after TPLO surgery or other knee surgeries
How does a stifle brace help with ACL/CCL tears?

A stifle brace stabilizes the knee joint, reduces strain on the torn ligament, and prevents further damage. It provides compression to reduce inflammation and supports healing by promoting proper joint alignment.

Can a stifle brace replace surgery?

For mild to moderate ligament injuries, a brace can be a non-surgical alternative, helping dogs regain mobility over time. However, in severe cases, surgery like TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) may be necessary, and a brace is then used post-surgery to aid recovery.

How does a knee brace support recovery after TPLO surgery?

Post-TPLO surgery, a stifle brace stabilizes the joint, reduces inflammation, and prevents overuse of the knee during healing. It also minimizes the risk of re-injury while your dog regains strength.

How do I clean and maintain the brace?

To keep the brace in top condition:

  • Hand wash with mild soap and air dry
  • Avoid machine washing or drying
  • Check for wear and tear regularly
Can my dog walk and run with a stifle brace?

Yes! A properly fitted stifle brace allows dogs to move comfortably while preventing excessive knee strain. It provides joint stabilization, making activities like walking, running, and climbing stairs safer and less painful.

How do i choose the right size for my dog?

  1. Can

    Veterinerimiz CCL ameliyatından sonra kullanmamızı önerdiği için bu dizlikten aldık. Açıkçası bu kadar iyi oturacağını beklemiyordum. Sağlam, ayarlanabilir ve diğer denediğimiz ürünlerin aksine yerinden kaymadı. Gerçekten özenle üretilmiş belli oluyor

  2. Sude

    Ayarlanabilir olması sayesinde bacağına tam oturdu, rahat ve güvenli hissettirdi. Çok memnun kaldık!
