dog and pet splints

dog splintsThes Pet Splints by Walkin' Wheels give your dog or cat lower limb support after injury, illness, or other Condition. Use of these splints can help the healing process and prevent further injury.

If you've ever broken and ankle or lower leg, you were outfitted with a splint that kept the area stable and supported. Dog splints do the same. They can be used on the ankle, foot, or lower leg. Held securely in place by adjustable, padded velcro, these dog splints stay on. Extending completely under the foot, they also give full support to the bottom of the leg.

Two separate types of splints are used for the front and back legs. The front leg splint is shaped correctly extends to below the elbow. The rear leg splint extends to an area above the hock.

These splints are built to be comfortable and to last. Although it may take your dog a little time to get accustomed to the splint.

How Long Should My Pet Wear the Walkin' Wheels Splint?

Our splints, like other dog and pet splints are not designed to be left on your pet for a long period of time. Introduce your pet to the splint by slowly fitting the splint onto your pet, and do this for the first handful of times your pet has to wear the splint. Have your pet wear the splint for two hours on, following two hours off. When your pet is resting or relaxed for a long period of time, keep the splint off. Always remove the splint overnight.
