Learn How Properly Fit the Balto Hock to Your Cat

The superior materials used to make Balto® braces eliminate the need for neoprene - a material that harbours bacteria, offers insufficient support, and wears out rapidly. A snug fit is guaranteed by a range of sizes. Straps should not pinch.

When taking an indoor-outdoor cat outside, take the brace off first.

Veterinarians should be consulted before use in cases involving felines of any age. For pets younger than 2 years old, it may be necessary to use a brace for increments of time in order to avoid any potential growth disruptions.
