The Labra Extra Supportive Canine Hock Brace for dogs is a neoprene compression brace for the hind leg that provides stability and support to the rear hock joint without compromising flexibility. With metal spring coils sewn inside the brace on both sides of the hock joint, this is our most supportive hock brace yet. It can be used to help dogs heal from rear leg injuries. It can also be used as a preventative measure for elderly dogs which are at a higher risk for injuries. Because the brace is made of strong, yet soft and flexible neoprene, the brace will always be both supportive and comfortable on your dog's leg. Fight back against mobility limiting joint conditions such as arthritis with the Labra Extra Supportive Canine Hock Brace. As your dog ages, their joints will naturally deteriorate, just like they do in humans. This brace is an easy-to-use, comfortable option for dogs in need of a little help stabilizing and supporting the rear leg. *NOTE* These braces are not suitable for very small dogs weighing less than 10 lbs. Please do not order this product for dogs of this size. We are working to create a suitable option for our extra small furry friends but unfortunately, we do not currently have a brace to offer.
