Testimonials

Dear HandicappedPets
We want to thank you for the Splint that we ordered last October for a client of Us. The owners of the cross-breed ;Bouvier de Flandres/Briard had to cry of joy that their dog of the age of fourteen could walk at the normal way after so many years......... Our business are in the circuit of helpingdogsaid and with a animal-fysiotherapy (one of our dogs has fysiotherapy). But what we notice in the Netherlands that many people are sceptical about these products like splints and we want to change that a liitle bit, so it wouldn`t be strange that we will order frequently for our customers.
So once again, thank you very much.
With kind regards,
FURKA
Emyl & Nancy-Julia Kwast and their dogs.

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 http://www.k9brace.com/ 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 tred 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.
