Injuries to the lower limbs of small animals frequently need to be splinted or braced. These Leg Splints are modeled after human splints for lower leg, ankle and foot injuries. For orthotic and prosthetic devices, see K9Brace.com.
The "Bootie Splint" will support the lower aspect of the rear limb. This brace extends under the paw to stabilize digit or toe injuries, and provides positioning for knuckling or nerve damage problems.
The Walkin' Wheels Carpal Splint is a lightweight brace designed to support the carpal joint. This splint is ideal for tendon and ligament damage and stabilization after surgical procedures.
For Stifle (Knee), Hock (back of the leg), Carpus Joint (wrist), and Prosthetics for pets.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dog has a rear limb Knee problem (ACL or Patella). Will a Splint work for my dog? No, splints will support the lower limb for the animal but will not go high enough to support the knee on the dog. Click here for a possible alternative.
My dog seems to fall in-between sizes in your chart, should I order the larger size? Splints are a standard size splint and will not conform to every contour of the animal's limb. If the measurement is not right on, try using the weight information on the sizing chart.
Can I change or remold the splint with heat? Yes, you can heat and Flair the plastic away from a problem area but you can not change the angle of the splint. You will need a Heat Gun to do any modifications and, of course, the splint is non-returnable.
Does the splint have any tread or soling on the bottom so the dog will not slip? Yes, the splints have a non-skid soling surface on the bottom.
Do the splints have any padding inside and can it be cleaned? Yes, the splints are fully lined with a closed cell foam that can be washed.
