Dog Rear Leg Brace [Long Version] With Metal Spring Strips (Pair)

Whether your dog can recover from an ACL tear without surgery depends on the severity of the tear and the dog’s health, age and activity level. If surgery is not warranted or is not an option, a dog ACL or CCL brace can be a good cost-effective solution.

A torn ACL is one of the most common injury in dogs. The injury requires rest, immobilization and often surgery to repair. A dog knee ACL brace offers therapeutic support and stabilization before and after surgery. It’s also useful in cases when surgery is not necessary or feasible. Immobilization of the knee and leg helps reduce pain and inflammation and provides support during healing.

A dog ACL brace is the natural way to treat a dog’s torn ACL (anterior or cranial cruciate ligament, CCL), sprains or strains of the canine knee, back leg limping, or arthritis. The brace offers good post-operative support and stabilization or knee immobilization, if needed.

Many dogs can continue to injury their knee and leg if they walk on it or don’t have the proper support. A brace will stabilize the limb so the leg can heal at a faster pace.

The typical waiting period to see if the ACL ligament is healing without surgery is 8 weeks. If your dog is not putting weight on the leg after this time, surgery may be required.

It’s important to consult with your veterinarian to get a proper diagnosis and make a treatment plan.

What is an ACL Tear on a Dog?

A ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL or CCL) tear is a common type of ligament injury in pets. It’s characterized by sudden lameness and swelling of the knee joint. This condition develops if the dog exerts excess pressure on the knee joint that causes a ligament tear. An ACL tear (CCL tear in dogs) may need to be treated surgically to prevent the onset of arthritis. Breeds such as Rottweilers and Labrador retrievers are at greater risk of developing a torn ACL.

A soft tissue injury takes about 6–10 weeks to heal.

Arthritis in a dog’s leg or hip joints is a common problem. A dog hip brace or leg brace may offer the stability and support needed to help decrease the arthritic pain and inflammation that occurs when your pet is active. Braces can also help your pet stay mobile.

Arthritis in dogs can develop in all joints of their front or back legs, including elbow, wrist, ankle, knee, hips and shoulder. It’s important to visit your veterinarian to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

If your dog’s inflammation is due to inflammation in the front or rear legs, leg braces can help with the joint pain and loss of stability and mobility.

If your dog has trouble walking or standing, her hips may be the root of the instability. A dog hip brace may help stabilize the hips, reduce discomfort, and increase mobility. A hip brace for dogs provides support and warm compression to the joints and muscles in the hips and lower back. This eases pain and helps mobility.

Braces for Dogs that Can Help with Arthritis Pain

Our NeoAlly® non-rigid leg braces help dogs that suffer from limb weakness or injury due to arthritis or age. They’re highly recommended by veterinarians and provide the much-needed support to help your dog’s joint pain.

Our NeoAlly® Dog Hip Brace will help stabilize your dog’s hips. We work with veterinarians to develop the most comfortable and effective hip braces for dogs. Our design provides the support right at the hip area for the dog so the braces fit perfectly.

Leg and hip braces for dogs can treat arthritis, osteoarthritis, and dysplasia. It’s important to consult with your veterinarian to get a proper diagnosis and make a treatment plan.

Depending on the severity and type of the injury, your dog may need to wear a leg brace for as little as 6 weeks to as much as 3 months. Your vet will be able to tell you how long your dog should wear a leg brace.

Generally, it will take 6 weeks for your dog’s sprained leg to heal. But knee injuries or a torn ACL (CCL) will take longer.

The biggest challenge may be getting your dog to slow down enough to allow the injury to heal. If your dog’s activity level is not decreased, there’s a risk of re-injury or a chronic injury that may require surgery down the line.

Neo Sports Lab has designed a variety of dog leg braces. We have non-rigid braces and braces with metal reinforcements to allow the appropriate level of support to help your dog’s injury heal.

A dog knee brace is a good way to help treat a torn ACL or CCL, sprains or strains of the canine knee, back leg limping, arthritis, or when knee immobilization is needed. Immobilization of the knee and leg helps reduce pain and inflammation and provide support during healing. The brace also offers ideal post-operative support and stabilization.

What are the Benefits of Using a Dog Knee Brace for a Torn CCL?

Your dog can sustain a knee or CCL injury when playing in the yard or just landing incorrectly going down the stairs. This type of injury is painful and makes it difficult for your dog to move around. So, you want the best treatment plan to ensure a speedy recovery. A well-designed dog knee brace will support the injury while it heals and keep your dog comfortable and mobile. It will also help reduce the risk of further injury.

4 Benefits of Using a Dog Knee Brace for a Torn CCL

1. Increase Mobility

Dog CCL braces make it possible for your dog to continue walking on the injured leg. Your dog can continue going on walks or moving around the yard or home without feeling limited.

2. Comfort

A dog knee brace will allow your pet to remain comfortable as she begins to heal. While wearing the brace, dogs can easily sleep and perform the same functions as they did prior to the injury. This makes it easy to wear for several weeks or months. Our NeoAlly® Knee Brace can be measured to fit the size of your dog to ensure it fits properly.

3. Reduce the Risk of Further Injury

Unfortunately, many dogs can continue to injury their leg if they walk on it or don’t have the proper support. A brace will stabilize the limb so the leg can heal at a faster pace.

4. Dog Knee CCL Brace Instead of Surgery?

In some cases (depending on age or health conditions), you may consider using an CCL brace instead of putting your dog through surgery. Leg braces can help your dog’s mobility if surgery is not an ideal option.

What is the Difference in an ACL and CCL on a Dog?

Put simply, the thin connective tissue in the middle of the knee is called the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) in humans and the CCL (cranial cruciate ligament) in canines.

It’s important to consult with your veterinarian to get a proper diagnosis and make a treatment plan.

A dog’s ankle (hock or tarsus) is the most injury-prone part of dog’s body. If your dog has a swollen back leg, it’s likely a hock, ankle or Achilles’ injury. A high-quality dog ankle brace is crucial to help the injury heal and to keep your pet mobile, whether she needs surgery or not.

Dog ankle braces help pets who suffer from weak hind legs, sprained ankles, arthritis, age, or other conditions that affect mobility.

Knuckling and hyperextension of the hock are two common problems that can be corrected with ankle braces for dogs. In fact, most injuries occur in the hind legs, especially in active or aging animals. Dog ankle braces can provide the support needed to help resolve these issues.
