Description

A Torn ACL / CCL is the Most Common Dog Injury

A torn ACL / CCL requires rest, immobilization, and often surgery for repair. The Cruciate Care Dog Knee Brace acts as a CCL brace or ACL brace for dogs and offers therapeutic support and stabilization before and after surgery. It is also useful in cases when surgery is not necessary or feasible. Immobilization of the knee and leg promotes reduced pain and inflammation and support during healing. In 60% of cases, a dog with a torn ACL will later injure the other knee. It is our hope that by stabilizing the injured knee as well as balancing the dog’s back and hip areas, further injury can be reduced.

A Soft Dog Knee Brace, Highly Adjustable, and Appropriate for Dogs of All Ages

Our unique and original butterfly design of the back anchor support of the dog knee brace also lends support to the lower back and hip areas to reduce strain from limping. By stabilizing and balancing the rear end of the dog, the brace may help prevent injury of the other knee or joints.

It fits dogs with a height of at least 20 inches, thigh circumference of at least 9 inches (for the brace), and a chest circumference of at least 12 inches (for the harness). See How to Measure

We designed this dog knee brace to fit the natural angle of the knee to prevent it from hyper-flexing while still allowing limited mobility. Flexible metal stays on either side of the knee aid in keeping the knee in its natural position and foam padding at the knee offers a more cushioned support. The brace allows your canine friend to move easily and without strain on the joint.

Indications for Use

ACL tear (anterior or cranial cruciate ligament, CCL) of the knee
Strain or sprain of the knee joint
Back leg limping, instability, or fatigue
Post-operative support
Arthritis
Knee stabilization
The dog knee brace can be worn during the day and taken off at night
Please REMOVE the brace and harness at night so the skin can breathe — please also remove the brace and harness if you are crating your dog or leaving them unattended

Easy Storage

The Cruciate Care Knee Brace comes in a nylon mesh draw-string bag for easy and clean storage. Just throw the bag in the back of your car and head out for fun with your dog!

Sizing

For a Good Fit, Take Careful Measurements.

Before you can purchase an Ortho Dog Cruciate Care Knee Brace, you will need to measure your dog's height, thigh circumference, and chest circumference to determine if it will fit. This will inform what size harness and brace to order. If you have a German Shepherd, read our specialized measurement instructions. https://youtu.be/dfPP3p7rdwM

Step-by-Step Measuring Instructions for the Cruciate Care Knee Brace

Be sure to take all measurements while your dog is standing.
Use a soft measuring tape (or string) for a snug measurement.
