Knee Support
175,00 €
The dog’s knee joint is a slightly hooked strong joint supported by ligaments. Knee support prevents soreness and swelling of the knee joint. The support facilitates the movement of the joint, thus strengthening the muscles of the foot. The knee brace, due to its precise design and shape, fits well in the dog’s foot.
The most common knee injury for a dog is an anterior cruciate ligament rupture. The ailment usually begins with an occasional slight limp, which suddenly worsens when the anterior cruciate ligament ruptures in sudden motion. The ailment can also start as a sudden strong limp and the dog will avoid putting weight on a sore leg. Sitting in a normal position can also be difficult. Especially in smaller dogs, there is dislocation of the kneecap (patella luxation). The symptom appears as a leaping step in the dog, especially in the trot. In these cases, we recommend the use of a knee brace. The supported leg is less painful and allows movement.
Many times when the dog’s cruciate ligament is torn, the leg has to be operated. The support to be used before and after the operation. The support makes it easier for the dog to recover.
Use support on the dog until the leg has healed so well that the dog moves without support in a strong-looking manner. The period of use is about 2-3 months for injuries and post-operative care. If necessary, the support can be used for the whole dog’s lifetime. If necessary, you can also consult a veterinarian for the use of the support.

Great product and excellent quick delivery. Thank you.
The knee support is high quality and functional and the dog got used to it quickly. Delivery was really fast and additional questions were also answered promptly.
I bought the support for an old French bulldog that broke its cross-connection on its left leg. Due to old age, it was decided not to do an operation for the dog. That’s why we ordered a knee brace for the dog, which we are now training to use. The dog gets used to the support pretty quickly and the support seems to help the knee stay in a better position.
