If you have any fitting concerns with your Splint, please contact our Customer Care Team or refer to your Veterinarian.
A: Measure from the top of the paw at the point located on the backside of the leg, to the midpoint between carpal and elbow.
B: Measure from the top of the paw at the point located on the backside of the leg, to the carpal point.
| A: | B: | Size |
|---|---|---|
| 5.2″ | 2″ | XSmall |
| 6″ | 2.25″ | Small |

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.
| Size | Leg Width at Carpal |
|---|---|
| XSmall | 0.75″ |
| Small | 1.375″ |
| Medium | 1.25″ |
| Large | 1.25″ |
| XLarge | 1.5″ |
