What Makes the SureFit® Calculator the Best Choice?

SureFit® Guarantee: we guarantee the perfect size, or we’ll pay your return shipping costs if an exchange is needed. That way there’s no doubt your pet will get the perfect fit.

We highly recommend using our SureFit® Calculator as it ensures the perfect custom fit for your pet. It requires a couple measurements, but only so we can provide your pet with the very best experience.

We recognize this takes a few minutes of your time, but those minutes are worth the happiness your pet will experience once they try out their wheelchair for the first time. Our wheelchairs have already helped more than 81,000 other pets. Let’s make that 81,001!

Other companies simply have you select a wheelchair based on weight, but that often results in a poor fit. Why? A 30 lb bulldog has a very different body type from a 30 lb corgi, but those companies will provide both with the same wheelchair.

Product Details

Splints should be used only when recommended by a veterinarian who will determine whether the splint is appropriate.

Walkin’ Carpal Splint is a lightweight support for the carpal joint or wrist, ideal for rehabbing tendon and ligament damage, stabilization after surgical procedures, weakness, or arthritis. Protect your pet’s lower front leg with the added support of the Carpal Splint. Splints should be used only when recommended by a veterinarian who will determine whether the splint is appropriate.

  • Supports pet’s wrist or carpus, while keeping the paw free.
  • Size XS has two straps, and sizes S-XL have three straps.
  • During night time hours we recommend using the Walkin’ Wrist Hugger to continue to offer light support when not wearing the splint.
  • To get more of a custom fit add Walkin’ Custom-fit Foam for an additional $9.95 

The Walkin’ Carpal Splint may benefit pets with the following conditions:

  • Carpal hyperextension
  • Carpal or metacarpal joint instabilities or malformations
  • Soft tissue injuries to carpal tendons/ligaments
  • Post-surgical protection.

Please consult with your veterinarian to determine whether this is the best treatment for your pet.

DESIGNED TO FIT YOUR PET

This durable and lightweight splint is a simple and effective way to protect your pet’s weak front leg. Just wrap around your pet’s carpal joint and fasten in place.

How to Choose the Right Size

The Walkin’ Carpal Splint will support the wrist/carpus only, and does not extend under the foot or paw of the animal. If full lower limb bracing is needed, please see our Walkin’ Front Splint.

If you have any fitting concerns with your Splint, please contact our Customer Care Team or refer to your Veterinarian.

Measurement Tips:

Begin with measuring your pet while they are in a standing position.

Use measurement B as your main guide for choosing a size. The best fit will be when your pet’s measurement matches with the number shown on the chart. If your pet’s measurement is up to 1” over or about 1/4” under, this is also acceptable.

The next measurement to review is A. It is best for your pet’s Total Length to closely match the number on the chart, but it will still fit if your pet’s length is longer than what is listed.

The Leg Width is an important factor when determining the fit of the carpal splint. Please review the chart under the “additional Fitting Measurement” tab for information on the splint’s interior width.

Please note: There is no “right” or “left” leg designated for splints; splints may be used for either the right or left leg. If you order a splint and it is marked with “L” it refers to the size (large).

If your dog’s measurement falls between sizes, please call us at 1-888-253-0777, and our Customer Service Department will help you to determine the correct size. 

See Instructions section for suggestions on how to best introduce the splint to your dog.

Width of the Leg

To determine if the splint’s width will comfortably fit your pet, measure the width of the front leg at the carpal joint. For the most accurate width measurement, Place a notepad under your pet’s front leg and mark on either side. Measure the distance between those two marks to determine the width. If the width listed for your pet’s size is wider than their leg, we recommend adding the custom fit foam.

  2. Cut template from pattern sheet, choosing the size that matches your splint size.
  3. Trace or tape cut shape to paper-backed side of foam sheet.
  4. Carefully cut shape.

Frequently Asked Questions

How wide is the Carpal Splint?

To determine if the splint’s width will comfortably fit your pet, measure the width of the front leg at the carpal joint. For the most accurate width measurement, we recommend placing a piece of paper behind your pet’s front leg and making a mark on either side of the leg and then measure the distance between those two marks to determine the width of the front leg.
