Custom Hock (Ankle) Brace | Dog Tarsal - Rear Leg Brace

My dog walks so much better in hock brace. It does take 4 hands to put it on and we work a little with chaffing. But product is top notch.

This brace is working well for my pup. My beef with the brace is the materials won't last. The straps are made of vinyl and the should be leather. The cost is steep and we should expect this product to last. My dog has been wearing hers for a month and the vinyl straps are already showing the wear, tearing slightly edges.

AOC made Our old crippled Labrador a custom brace that is well formed around his very large arthritis below his hock. Henry has a torn ligament in that leg as well, so the brace really stabilizes it and helps him stand upright. It took Henry about 3 times of wearing it for a short while to get used to it. I had my at home Vets check the brace on Henry and they were very impressed with the fit and quality. It is worth the money if you can muster it. We didn't really have it either. I cut back and readjusted some things to afford it. It was worth the money for sure.

We had this made for our dog Wesley as a last ditch effort to save a badly damaged leg. He’d had a compound fracture, dislocation of his ankle on a hind leg and had been in a bulky dressing and splint with weekly dressing changes for 7 months courtesy of some infected hardware that needed to be treated then removed which really slowed the healing process. Once we got to the point that the skin wounds were finally closed, we ordered this removable splint in the hope that it would stabilize and protect the joint enough to foster some additional healing. It fit great and allowed him to be more active. He was able to get back to being more like a dog. The fit was so snug that we could not get a sleeve thin enough to work but they did send us different ones to try. In the end we are using the brace when he’s out and active off lead, but sadly, it looks like we may be heading toward amputation anyway. We gave this a shot and had the injury not been so severe, it would have been a limb saver for us.

This brace has been great. It is very well engineered and made. It stabilizes our pets hock, and gives us peace of mind that the joint will not be re-injured.

Product fabricated and shipped in a timely manner. The straps and velcro fasteners were not as durable as expected. I had to manually repair (sew) two straps. When the vet tried to adjust one strap to make the hock area more flexible, the screw would not come out. Very disappointing! When I talked to customer service they said perhaps locktite was used on it at the factory. Other screws on other parts do unscrew. Not being able to adjust this flexible hock area does not allow the movement that he needs.

Great customer service. Our situation was a little different, since we live in Switzerland. We had to get the brace with out a fitting post production. The customer service was great. The production seemed rushed and the finished brace still needs some tweaking after the production. The spacing between the main parts of the brace were not cut parallel, the stitching of the straps ran over the edge and the placement of the straps of the brace wasn’t well thought. Fitment was good but again fitting is still needed post production so nothing can be said about the post production service.

Amazing customer service and high quality durable brace! My experience with this company has been excellent. The team is very friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating, and quick to respond. I am beyond happy with the brace we received, it fit perfectly and my dog is finally able to play fetch again with no pain. It was well worth every penny and I’m so grateful I was able to find this company. Don’t go anywhere else if you’re looking for a brace for your pet!

It would be much easier to slide a tapered Velcro strap through the metal piece as opposed to a blunt tip piece of Velcro. The blunt tip has to fit more exact and that can be hard to do on a rambunctious Lab. All in all the brace was a perfect fit.

The people there are so nice .I had to cancel my order because of the virus my dog was not diagnosed with Cushing desease. He fell and went lame we had to hire dog ambulance out of Cleveland to get him to animal hospital.When he fell he ripped his elbows off with exposed bone. They couldn’t be fixed and we had no choice but to let him go. We are heartbroken but we couldn’t get the braces soon enough. We got a refund. Should one of my other Standard Poodles need help or any of my friends I will definitely send them there .Hope that explains it all.
