Dog Knee Braces: The Most Common Orthopedic Injury in Dogs

by Now Seore Nowseore

When your dog starts limping, you need to take them to the vet right away so that you’ll know what exactly is happening. Small dogs can usually heal after three to six weeks without treatment, however larger dogs sometimes require surgery.

After getting checked over by the vet and knowing your options, getting a dog a knee brace is one of the best tools to help your dog heal, and be in less pain after a CCL or ACL tear. Knee Brace For Dogs, also known as stifle braces, are very affordable and non-invasive options. Stifle braces stabilize injured ligaments and limit their range of motion, allowing them to heal in a relatively short period without costly surgery.

Knee braces aren't just for injured dogs

A stifle brace is a great tool for dogs who suffer from CCL or ACL injuries, but it can also be beneficial for dogs with arthritis. A stifle brace supports your dog's joint properly, reducing the amount of pain he or she experiences. The braces are also helpful for dogs with disabilities and seniors.

What is the best knee brace for dogs?

The reason Specialized Pet Solutions (SPS) developed a knee brace that is different from any other dog knee brace on the market is that when your dog is in pain, you want them to be relieved as quickly and as effectively as possible.

By using the same materials and techniques used for making human orthotics, SPS creates the highest quality dog braces available.

The following are some of the things that make Specialized Pet Solutions different:

A built-in Achilles relief channel cushions the Achilles tendon and keeps the strap on the front of the leg, which reduces pressure on the tendon and prevents it from breaking down.

The patellar bar prevents the drawer motion which leads to a CCL tear. It cages the knee and provides stability, preventing both medial and lateral movement.

What's the best part?

With SPS’s mail-order service, you can get your dog a custom-fitted knee brace in a matter of hours.

Here's how to get your dog a knee brace:

Get your pet diagnosed with a CCL or ACL tear (no referral required)

A vet can assist you with this process as well as sending you a casting kit and written instructions.

On their website, at the bottom of each product page, you can read instructions and watch instructional videos.

You should cast your animal after you have assembled all the necessary materials and read the instructions.

You can send your cast back to Specialized Pet Solutions and they will create a mold from it.

It will be used to build the custom brace around the mold.

The fabrication process takes three to five business days.
