The Balto® Hock addresses hock pain, lameness and neuromuscular problems. This canine hock brace is a great solution for dogs suffering from limited mobility following injuries to the hock/Achilles tendon. This breathable compression wrap, made with non-neoprene material, provides stability and support to your dog's rear legs without compromising natural movement. This hock brace is an excellent option for dogs in need of additional support while maintaining an active lifestyle.
Brace Applications:- Sprains and strains of the hock/Achilles tendon
- Post-surgical support
- Structural support for soft tissue injuries to the hock joint
- Chronic hock pain management
- Complementary treatment option to physical therapy – can be used in combination with hydrotherapy and acupuncture
- This brace can be used on healthy joints, muscles and ligaments to prevent injury and provide structural support.
- Wound management; protection of bandages from biting, licking, gravity and friction
- Three angled airplane aluminum splints; two splints aid in restricting the lateral movement, and a third in the front is slightly malleable for a more custom fit.
- The brace can also be used without splints for conditions such as arthritis and arthrosis.
- Compression helps increase blood flow in the affected area, which helps reduce stiffness, pain, and inflammation
- Adjustable upper and lower padding straps can be lengthened or shortened on the leg to ensure an excellent fit

All Balto® braces are made from high-quality materials, not neoprene, which is known to: collect bacteria, provide inadequate support, and wear down quickly. A variety of sizes ensure a secure fit. No pinching straps.
Recommended for all ages unless otherwise advised by veterinarians. Apply brace for balanced increments of time, if appropriate, for pets under the age of 2 to prevent possible growth disturbances.
