The L'il Back Bracer is the only patented orthopedic back support brace for dogs. Our patented design helps keep your dog’s back supported when dealing with Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) and other dog back pain.
Back Measurement = 10.5" - 12.5"
Chest Measurement = 12.25" - 14.75"
Back Measurement = 12.5" - 14.5"
Chest Measurement = 14.5" - 17.5"
Back Measurement = 15.125" - 17.125"
Chest Measurement = 18" - 21"
NOTE: Correct measurement is critical for best fit. Your dog MUST fit into BOTH back and chest measurements. If they are outside the measurement guidelines the brace will not fit. Our Haute L'il Back Bracer may be a better alternative for your pet.
Our dog brace is designed for ease of use. Straps for girth and width are adjustable, just like a human back brace.
To clean the brace just hand wash and lay flat to dry. For removing hair, we have found that a rubber pet hair remover brush works best.
The L’il Back Bracer is an orthopedic support garment for dogs suffering with IVDD or other back injuries. The brace is made of a very high quality breathable and antimicrobial neoprene that is very comfortable for your dog. There are stays that line the back and abdomen to provide the needed support and stabilization of the spine.
It depends on you and your dog. Some pet parents will put the back brace on for the majority of the day while some just use our back brace for walks or times of high activity and play. The back brace is flexible, so it allows the muscles to engage and ‘work’, it is not like a stiff cast. This is important so that the muscles do not become weak from wearing the brace.
*Please note that our dog back brace is not meant to replace the crate rest period that is prescribed by your Veterinarian.
We do not recommend letting your dog wear the brace all day. You may leave the brace on your dog for up to 14 hours a day. However, be sure to remove the brace when your dog is resting, this will prevent irritation and allow their body to air out. Check for any signs of irritation and/or swelling after removing the brace.
Please remove the brace before your dog goes to bed at night.
Yes, our back brace fits in a way that leaves that area of your dog free to take care of business without the brace blocking that part of their body.
The L’il Back Bracer has an attached “D” ring so when taking walks the brace acts as a harness. Just attach the leash to the ring and enjoy a safe supported walk.
To clean the brace just hand wash and lay flat to dry. For removing hair, we have found that a rubber pet hair remover brush works best.
The L'il Back Bracer stabilizes the spinal column (from about where a collar would sit) and its snug fit provides overall comfort. While all dogs and all cases can vary, the L'il Back Bracer has successfully helped in many cases with increased mobility and relief. The feedback we have received on dogs regaining their mobility or at least increasing it has been tremendous.
As far as "jumping", it depends on whether your l'il one will continue to jump with the brace on. Our L'il Back Bracer's design is flexible, not like a stiff cast, so they are able to move as they normally would - just with a l'il support. Some dogs keep real still with the brace on and do not jump or run due to the calming effect the snug fit has on the nervous system, while some dogs resume their normal activity while wearing it.
No. Our back brace is lightweight. Helps give support down the spine.
It is common for dogs not to like a brace. A natural thing for them is to sit still. Or perhaps even whimper with it because they aren’t sure what to do with the brace on. To help with this, we recommend a break-in period of 30 minutes on and 30 minutes off. Give your dog a treat and praise him/her for wearing the brace. This will hopefully allow your l'il one to associate the brace being a good thing. Increase the amount of time each day.
Yes. The material is a breathable, neoprene material. Recommended washing instructions is: hand wash and then air dry.
Our baby is back to 98% after her second back surgery… We don’t want her to go through another one…
The back brace calms her, and stops the bucking bronco food aggression jumping…
So far so good.
Thanks

My dog has arthritis and starting to have problems with her hip, but with the brace help her a lot in her walking. I recommend this product 100%!
It’s a well constructed brace. My dachshund isn’t very happy with the mobility restriction that comes with wearing it. But I feel it’s a good brace
The brace has helped my little doxie so much. He hasn’t had as many flare ups since wearing the brace. He hates it wearing it though. He’s a stubborn little doxie.
I put the brace on my Dash/Corgi during the day and take it off before bed. She is showing a lot of progress with her back leg and she’s starting to walk on it and not limp. I’m so happy that I stumbled across your product it’s really helping her be still and when she has to move around she’s not constantly trying to jump on anything so that’s a plus thank you!
