NeoAlly - Front Leg Brace for Dogs and Cats, Dog Leg Brace for Improved Pet Mobility, Dog Leg Sleeve for Carpal Support, Dog Leg Sleeve with Reflective Straps, XXS to XS, Black, 1 Pair

These braces more than met my expectations. And speaking of expectations, you have to have reasonable ones. I've seen some critical reviews, but honestly, for what these are, they're very effective. My 13 year old dog was starting to stumble occasionally while on her walks. I noticed her front right leg appeared to give out on her once in a while when she hit a certain pace. It seemed weak and like it could use some support or reinforcement. Ever since we've started using the braces on her. She hasn't fallen once. A couple of times she looked like she might be about to take a little tumble, but with the braces she was able to recover very quickly and it never turned into a fall. You have to make sure to fasten them tight, just like the instructions say. I can only imagine that the reason why some people say they droop or fall is that they're not tightening them enough. Anyway, she took to them right away and I'm very happy with the reinforcement that they offer and the confidence and comfort I feel now that she's using them.

Bought these for my ShiPoo. She was 9lbs & had Poodle small boned legs with a long wide Shitzi body. And, throughout her years, she’d had 4 surgeries on her legs. During her last year, I bought these to provide support for her front knees. They helped her a lot. This was a good purchase for her. She didn’t like them but they did help.

I bought the extra small for my cat and they worked not that great the way they instruct you to put them on, and Jinx removed them in about 3 hours. So I turned them upside down, with the shorter velcro at the top, and the longer velcro at the bottom. That way I could make it tighter at the bottom as the shorter velcro is too short to be of much use. I also had to add 2 bamboo sticks for more support. One at the front, as I tighten the velcro, and one at the back of his leg. The braces were not supportive enough without the sticks. I just bought some barbeque skewers and broke off 2" pieces and sanded the ends. So far it seems to be working okay. He's just getting used to wearing them and kind of shakes his paws as he walks but with them on upside down it does support his carpal hyperextended front legs better. I take them off at night like I read in a vet online site to do. I couldn't really rate the comfort, which I think is an odd category, since I'm not wearing them myself. I would guess that Jinx thinks they're not all that comfy being as cats don't like having stuff put on them.Using them for a week now, it's such a hassle to try and put the sticks in as I tighten the velcro, so today I used some black electrical tape to carefully tape the sticks to the braces, being careful not to cover any velcro. It makes them much easier to put onI've used them for 6 months now. The longer stretch velcro strap has lost most of its elasticity. I'm having to buy a new pair now. I wish there was some other brand, or a different solution entirely, that would work for cats but if there is I haven't found it. So for now, this is better than him walking around on the back of his front legs.

So the chihuahua I got these for, is just a bit too short and stubborn to let me put these on correctly (hes is totally my kid). But other than that, they are good braces, just not for super short stubborn dogs. But on on good note, they fit my other chihuahua who’s taller (he also needed a pair). So it worked out in the end. If it was maybe an inch shorter it would fit perfectly, it’s really just the top rim. It’s a bit thicker, so my short chihuahua doesn’t like it around his elbow. But it’s okay, I deal with short people problems so I get it.

I had this brace on my dog, went into the other room to get something, and came back and the majority of the top strap was chewed up, and this is no longer functional. So, it only lasted five minutes. Sure would have been nice if there were suggestions on how to keep my dog from chewing this up, and the quality of the elastic is very, poor. What a rip off!

I bought these for my 25-lb Sheltie who just turn four. He hurt his leg playing soccer from all the jumping and quick turns. His leg was turned inwards and awful limping. I could not get the Smalls to fit on his delicate legs-too big. I even tried putting one over the top of the other but too bulky. I'm a hand therapist and knew he needed more support on the inside of his leg. Lo and behold, I had ordered a pencil case and inside was was a half-rolled piece of 1/2-inch thick soft styrofoam. I cut it in half lengthwise to about 6 inches and doubled it up. I put it on the inside part of Pippin's leg and then applied the brace...Perfect! It straightened out his leg with no irritation! Before it must have been pulling on his hair as he kept biting at it and would lick his leg when I took the spint off. Now he can wear it all day long and I even have him wear it during rough-and-tough soccer and fetch games with great comfort and stability. I hope this trick helps others.

Didn't like them

Willie has attitude in his wrists. But this dog lives to walk. So I got these for him, thinking I was wasting money, but no! Willie loves them! There is no resistance to me putting them on, and he will not walk without them. I wear my knee brace, he has his wristies. People comment, "oh, you match!" He will lift his paws to show them off. He's 11 years old and was down to no more than 1/2 mile, but he's back up to 2 miles (with a pain killer before we go). Thank you!
